1. Republic Act No. 10533, otherwise known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, mandates the implementation of a learner-centered, developmentally appropriate, and standards-based basic education curriculum supported by effective pedagogy and aligned assessment practices. The law emphasizes the importance of continuous teacher professional development to ensure that curriculum objectives are translated into meaningful learning experiences that support holistic learner development and national education goals.
2. In consonance with this mandate, the Department of Education issued DepEd Order No. 10, s. 2024, which provides the policy guidelines for the implementation of the Revised K to 10 Curriculum. This issuance emphasizes the need to strengthen teachers’ competencies in curriculum understanding, instructional planning, pedagogical approaches, and classroom-based assessment to ensure coherence, alignment, and effective curriculum implementation across learning areas.
