Salient Feature

The MATATAG Curriculum, introduced by the Philippine Department of Education (DepEd), is part of the K to 10 curriculum revision and was launched to address concerns about the previous K to 12 system. It aims to improve foundational skills, reduce learning overload, and ensure relevance to learners’ future paths.

The revision of the K to 10 curriculum under the MATATAG initiative followed a structured process. It began with a curriculum review and evaluation in 2018–2019, identifying issues such as content overload and misalignment with 21st-century skills. This was followed by the development of streamlined curriculum guides in 2020–2021, and extensive stakeholder consultations and validation from 2021 to 2022. After finalizing and approving the revised curriculum in 2022, a pilot implementation was conducted in select schools during the 2023–2024 school year. The full national roll-out began in 2024, starting with Kinder, Grades 1, 4, and 7, with other levels to follow in subsequent years. DepEd continues to monitor, evaluate, and improve the curriculum based on ongoing feedback and results.

Moving forward, the success of the MATATAG Curriculum depends on continuous teacher training, the timely provision of quality learning materials, and strengthened monitoring and evaluation of student outcomes. Ensuring inclusivity through contextualized education for diverse learners is also crucial. Sustained stakeholder engagement and strong collaboration with communities and private sectors will support implementation. Lastly, adequate resources and long-term planning are essential to scale and sustain the reforms effectively.

In the general shape of the MATATAG Curriculum, I learned that it started by looking at the problems in the old curriculum, like too many lessons and students not learning the basics well. During planning, they set goals to make lessons simpler and more useful. In the development stage, they focused on improving reading, writing, and math, especially for younger students. They tested and reviewed the new lessons to make sure they work well. After getting approval, teachers were trained, and the new curriculum started to be used in schools. Lastly, they continue to check how it’s working and make changes if needed to help students learn better.

I've learned that:

Content must be age-appropriate, culturally relevant, and connected across subjects.

Integration of 21st-century skills (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity) is essential.

Content should support values education, discipline, and resilience — aligning with the MATATAG vision.

In this session I learned that the Revised K to 12 curriculum was comprehensively planned and crafted by experts by following this flow Review-Re-Design-Release-Implement.

The salient features of this curriculum are decongested curriculum and focused on foundational skills. This where we can deliver all the needed topics for each quarter and can promote meaningful learning experiences to our learners.

In this curriculum equipped all our learners with 21st century skills. It also prepared our learners a strong literacy and numeracy foundation.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned that the revision of the curriculum has undergone a lot of review, processes, and finalization before it was implemented. Given that the curriculum is congested, some prerequisite learning competencies were misplaced, and there's imbalance of cognitive demand.

Ways forward

1. Pilot Implementation

2. Capacity Building

3. Learning Resources

Aspirations for students
