“In the coming weeks, we will roll out trainings in regions for divisions instructional leaders,” said Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte during the National Summit of the MATATAG Curriculum Pilot Implementers held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City on Friday, Feb. 16.

Duterte said trainers from the DepEd Central Office will also continue to provide training support to Regional and Division trainers “until every teacher in every school who is teaching Kinder, Grade 1, 4, and 7 next school year is reached.”

Moreover, she noted that the training will be school-based for teachers in the form of collaborative expertise sessions through the learning action cells (LACs).

“We expect these sessions to happen in a supportive and respectful environment where teachers can ask questions or share insights, thereby strengthening their knowledge of curriculum content and teaching strategies,” she said.

“These concerted effort to train our teachers underscores our solid commitment to providing them with the support they need to succeed,” she added.

Duterte noted that by fostering a deep understanding of the MATATAG curriculum at all levels of the education system, “we can maximize its impact and ultimately enhance the experience of our learners.”

In her speech, Duterte also reiterated the need to review and revise the basic education curriculum.

“When I first took office at DepEd, we quickly realized that the curriculum needed needed so much work,” Duterte said, noting that the reviews highlighted issues that needed to be addressed.

These issues include congestion, misplaced learning competencies, and high cognitive loads, especially in the early years, among others. “It was clear that we could not keep doing things the same old way,” she added.

Recognizing that the curriculum is a “dynamic document” capable of evolving to remain relevant to the needs of learners in a rapidly changing education landscape, DepEd launched in August last year the MATATAG Curriculum or the revised curriculum for Kinder to Grade 10.

“Our new curriculum is the result of countless hours of dedicated work by our team of experts both from here and abroad,” Duterte said.

“They have worked in close collaboration with members of the public, including parents, teachers, and students who generously gave their time and input to help us create a strong and effective curriculum,” she added.

While the pilot implementation starts this school year (SY), DepEd said that MATATAG Curriculum shall be implemented in phases: SY 2024-2025 for Kindergarten, Grades 1, 4, and 7; SY 2025-2026 for Grades 2, 5, and 8; SY 2026-2027 for Grades 3, 6, and 9; and SY 2027-2028 for Grade 10.
