Alignment of the Senior High School Strand to the College Course Enrolled by the Graduates of La Salette of Jones Batch 2018-1019

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

The introduction of the K-12 program aimed to elevate the Philippine educational system to meet global employment standards. Within senior high school, diverse academic strands were introduced to align students' choices with their future career paths. This study investigated the correlation between these senior high school strands and college course enrollments. Utilizing a descriptive survey, findings reveal that while many graduates pursued courses aligned with their senior high school strands, a notable portion opted for unrelated fields or remained undecided. Despite this, most students acknowledged the importance of aligning their college courses with their earlier academic choices. The study suggests a need for a re -evaluation of the K-12 curriculum to incorporate essential skill development for post-senior high school employment, addressing the discrepancy between a primarily college-focused curriculum and the diverse career intentions of graduates.
