<\/a>A PROTESTER holds a poster expressing many students\u2019 sentiments on the K-12 program at a recent rally against additional high school years in front of the Department of Education office in Pasig City. GRIG C. MONTEGRANDE<\/p><\/div>\n
\u201cWe met the students and parents of the incoming senior high school students and explained everything,” La Rosa said. But “most students opted” to take courses leading to college, he said.<\/p>\n\n
He said teachers underscored the fact that many companies have expressed willingness to hire senior high school graduates who pass accreditation tests given by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda).<\/p>\n\n
In Pangasinan province, almost half of students enrolled in vocational courses, said Maria Celia Junio-Fernandez, superintendent of Pangasinan schools division 1.<\/p>\n\n
As of June 3, 3,915 students enrolled in technical-vocational-livelihood courses while 4,011 students enrolled in academic courses.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cPerhaps they are aware of the relevance and the need for people with immediately employable skills. They can be holders of national certificates upon completing the courses so they can find jobs or start business at a young age,\u201d said Fernandez.<\/p>\n\n
She also said many of the students may not afford college.
