I wish to share the new Matatag curriculum in our country. A review can be seen here: https://www.asiaeducationreview.com/others/vista/matatag-curriculum-redefining-learning-in-the-philippines-nwid-1598.html#google_vignette

The commentary highlights the critical problems in Philippine education, particularly its stand in reading comprehension, math, and science around the world. PISA 2018 and World Bank 2022 reports show that scores of Filipino 10-year-olds are incapable of basic acts of reading and an education system lagging behind regional neighbors. Articles call for change in the curriculum, including a new MATATAG curriculum that is supposed to help address some of the core deficiencies: reading, writing, skills, mathematics, science, and life skills. The MATATAG curriculum offers a glimmer of hope in finding solutions to some of the most critical issues in Philippine education. On the other hand, I agree that there are also underlying problems that come out, which include overcrowding classrooms, inadequate learning materials, overworked teachers, poverty, among other such reasons that desecrate excellent delivery of learning.

In this regard, hopes are bolstered by the efforts of the MATATAG initiative; however, its implementation will only be successful if it is managed with proper leadership. The commentary aptly points out the requirement for leaders to lead this new curriculum and encourage change by reducing teachers' non-educational workloads and developing a helpful learning environment. Modular and flexible learning products, such as those found at Academ-e, are also gaining ground in the hopes of serving to be able to assist in pushing forward MATATAG goals. But in the same breath, more has to be done in other areas beyond this new curriculum to address some of the deeper systemic issues, like infrastructure, lack of resources, teacher workload, and student motivation.
