Abstract
The introduction of the Senior High School in the Philippines for the first time in 2016, intends to convalesce the learning competence of the high school students. The curriculum was conceived mainly due to the dreadful performance of the Filipino learners in various international benchmarking assessment of competence randomly conducted across the country. With no appropriate intervention, the deplorable results shall continue to denigrate the employability of our graduates especially abroad. The implementation of the SHS curriculum, however, was met with cynical reactions from the public. As the added years entail more expenses for parents, uncertainty began to haunt hundreds of thousands of Filipino families who are already struggling coping with the cost of keeping their children in school.
