摘要

This study sought to determine the perceptions of the teachers, students and parents on the K to 12 program of the Philippine government. It utilized the descriptive research design in getting the information from the 100 selected respondents (30 teachers, 40 students and 30 parents). The study was conducted at Pikit National High School in Pikit, Cotabato, Philippines. Findings revealed that the parents, students, and teachers appeared to understand the K to 12 program. On the contrary, they still felt there were some areas needing improvements and concerns, like as: K to 12 programs was expensive, poor, lacking in sufficient facilities, classrooms and laboratory equipment; delays in salary, and insufficient numbers of teachers in Senior High School. In the light of these findings, it is recommended that the Philippine government should allocate sufficient budget for the K to 12 program to succeed and to allow the stakeholders to share their sentiments about the deficiencies and/or inadequacy of the facilities to accommodate the needs of the growing number of student population all over the country.
