Abstract
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the Philippine educational system, focusing on the implications of the K-12 program implementation. Utilizing an integrative literature review methodology, the research examines the historical context, challenges, and outcomes of the K-12 program, shedding light on its impact on educational outcomes, infrastructure, teacher preparedness, socio-economic disparities, and inclusivity within the educational landscape. The findings reveal a mixed landscape, highlighting the positive influence of the K-12 program on enhancing educational outcomes and preparing students for higher education and the workforce. However, the study also emphasizes critical challenges, including infrastructure inadequacies, teacher preparedness issues, socio-economic disparities, and barriers to inclusivity and equity. The study emphasizes the urgent need for targeted interventions, policy adjustments, and strategic collaborations to address the identified challenges and ensure a more inclusive, equitable, and globally competitive educational system in the Philippines. By providing valuable insights and recommendations, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the refinement and enhancement of the Philippine educational system, aiming to foster the holistic development and success of future generations.
