DepEd issues new guidelines for Matatag Curriculum implementation

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education (DepEd) has introduced flexible guidelines for the implementation of the Matatag Curriculum.

Citing DepEd Order (DO) No. 012, s. 2024, the agency said in a statement on Thursday that the new guidelines will allow schools to adapt class schedules based on their specific needs and capacities to ensure smoother education delivery despite limited staff and facilities.

Based on previously released DO No. 10, s. 2024, all learning areas must be taught 45 minutes a day for five days, and the Homeroom Guidance Program for 45 minutes once a week. the DepEd said this will be retained as option A.

Under this option, English, Mathematics, Science, Good Manners, and Right Conduct must be taught five times a week.

“Additionally, Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan (EPP)/Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE), Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH), Araling Panlipunan (AP), and Filipino for four times a week, and Homeroom Guidance Program once a week,” the DepEd said.
