Abstract

Abstract On the first year full implementation of senior high school (SHS) curriculum, comparative assessment of the program was conducted between private and public schools. Respondents were students, parents, teachers and principals. To give comprehensive analysis, interpretation and implication of data, weighted mean, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson r were employed. Higher expectations in college and career readiness; global competitiveness; advancement of knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSA) were recorded by public schools while private schools performed better in quality of instructional practices, planning and preparations. Lack of buildings and instructional materials among public schools and additional expenses among private schools were the top apprehensions. Private schools obtained higher ratings in curriculum adjustment; physical facilities; administration and management; and instructional materials compared with public schools that led in teachers’ competence and teaching strategies. Despite various apprehensions and challenges, respondents’ high expectations tend to motivate the DepEd officials to effectively implement the SHS curriculum. Thus, teachers and school administrators, being the frontliners in the program implementation, should continue what they have started to prove to the parents that additional two more years in high school education are not costly burden.
