YEARS AHEAD of the
national implementation of the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 or known as
the “K to 12 program” this coming school year, STI Education Services Group,
Inc. (STI), the largest pioneer in Senior High School (SHS) in the country, has
taken up the challenge, and is paving a brighter path for the Filipino youth as
early as June 2014 during the initial roll-out of its SHS program.

In
2014, out of 92 private schools nationwide accredited by the Department of Education
(DepEd) to offer Senior High School for school year 2014-15, sixty-seven (67)
or 73% are STI schools. As of today, all 78 STI schools including STI West
Negros University have been granted the DepEd permit to offer Senior High
School.

Among the 8 STI
campuses in NCR with SHS graduates were from STI Colleges in Caloocan,
Fairview, Las Piñas, Makati, Muñoz-EDSA, Ortigas-Cainta, Pasay, and Tanay. The
graduation ceremony was attended by the DepEd Regional Director for NCR Dr. Ponciano
Menguito and STI Alumni Association President Hernan Alar. Inspirational words
were given to the fresh graduates by DepEd Assistant Secretary for Curriculum
and Instruction Mr. Elvin Uy.
The first
graduation event of STI Senior High is another milestone in STI’s pursuit of excellence.
The institution looks forward in the advancement of education in the country,
and welcomes the implementation of Senior High with readiness to produce
graduates who are college-ready, job-ready, and life-ready.
Under
the new curriculum, the enactment of K to 12 program mandates students to
undergo Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education comprising six years of
primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior
High School.
DepEd
reports that around 1.3
million students have already registered for senior high school since the
launch of the Early Registration period last September 2015.
