Sequa’s Project Director
Susann Gerlach and K to 12 Plus Project Coordinator Andreas Dernbach visited
the project partners of K to 12 Plus Project in the Philippines held on 19
February 2018 at SKILLS Campus. The visit highlighted SKILLS’ success on its project
implementation of the pilot class in the construction cluster with 19 students
who successfully graduated in March 2017. The next phase of the program is the
implementation of the Plus Element that aims to pilot a Dual Training System
approach as an advancement training program that will prepare a Tech Voc
graduate to take an NC-III qualification level together with a bundled related
trade, in such case Plumbing NC-III + Waterproofing.
The K to 12 Plus Project is a multi-stakeholder initiative
supported by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and
Development (BMZ) that aims to assist the ongoing Education and Training Reform
of the Government of the Philippines. The K to 12 PLUS Project will focus on
piloting innovative dualized approaches to technical and vocational education
and training. The overall objective is to contribute to increased employment
and income of Filipino youth and their families, and to matching the needs of
companies for mid- to high level qualified employees. As an offshoot of this
partnership, SKILLS has opened a Senior High School (SHS) for Technical
Vocational and Livelihood (TVL) Track through the provisional permit granted by
the Department of Education.
