For years, the Philippines has been battling systemic problems in basic education, and later found a solution to decongest what the K-12 curriculum had done. Thus came the MATATAG curriculum, and now, with the Strengthened Senior High School (SHS) Curriculum. These were created to address the learning gap in the country and erase the chaotic state of students who memorized things but learned nothing. Yes, I am one of the students affected by this learning gap, but what I want to ask is: will these revised and implemented curriculums guarantee to solve our learning crisis?
