Are you still undecided on which strand to take? Do you still have doubts if that strand you're taking up fits your dream career or skills? Do you still have a lot of questions about the academic tracks available? This K-12 blog series is for you.

 

Since its approval in 2013, the K-12 system has created changes in the way high school students are trained not only for educational advancement but for possible employment as well. The K-12 program basically added two more academic school years to the then-existing 10-year pre-university format of secondary education institutions. With goals of achieving educational equity, the K-12 program aims to equip students with the much-needed skills to gain employment even without a college degree.

As a student too, I am recommending the GAS track. The question is, why I'm choosing this track? This is the reason why.

GAS (General Academics Strand) is the most flexible strand among the four strands offered in the Academic Track because students get to learn and experience something from all the other strands. GAS is essentially for students who are undecided on which strand to take.

The advantage being a General Academic student is that you'll be able to know and explore new things like what other tracks cannot. It helps us to decide what to go to college and also general academic is a big help to improve our speaking skills and communicating skills.

 

 Being a General Academic student is fun and crazy, you'll be able to experience everything crazy about life and in school.
