This study discusses the history and current state of the Philippine educational system.

This paper addresses the challenges observed in the past, as well as obstacles the country faces in implementing the K-12 curricula. Recommendations and suggestions were made based on the key assessment features of the implementation of the curriculum through observed results in the academic and non-academic outcomes and facilitators or barriers to the K-12 curriculum. This study forwards recommendations on the enhancement of the present curriculum.
