personal development and
necessary for living in and
contributing to a developing
and changing social milieu;

provide learning experiences
which increase the child’s
awareness of and responsiveness
to the changes in and just
demands of society; and to
prepare him for constructive and
effective involvement;

promote and intensify the child’s
knowledge of identification with,
and love for the nation and the
people to which he belongs; and

promote work experiences which
develop the child’s orientation to
the work of work and creativity
and prepare himself to engage in
honest and gainful work.
Objectives of the Elementary
Education Curriculum
 Elementary
Education shall aim
to develop the spiritual, moral,
mental and physical capabilities
of the child, provide him with
experiences in the democratic
way of life, and inculcate ideas
and attitudes necessary for
enlightened, patriotic, upright
and useful citizenship.
To achieve these objectives,
Elementary Education Curriculum shall
provide for the:
 Inculcation
of spiritual and civic
values and the development of a
good Filipino based on an abiding
faith in God and genuine love of
country;
 Training
of the young citizen in
his right, duties and
responsibilities in a democratic
society for active participation,
in a progressive and
productive home and
community life;
 Development
of basic
understanding about Philippine
culture, the desirable tradition
and virtues of our people as
essential requisites in attaining
national consciousness and
solidarity;
Goals of the Values
Education Curriculum

At the Basic Education level, the goal of
Values Education across the curriculum is
to provide the Filipino adolescent learners
with the appropriate knowledge base
necessary in developing a value system
which will guide them in dealing with the
self, relating with their family and peer
group, serving others, country and God
and dealing with issues and problems
posed by the environment.
Characteristics of the Values
Education Curriculum in the
Philippines
 It
provides the explanation for
the thinking which forms the
basis for and leads to behavior,
thus developing in the learners
skills of rational thinking and
value judgment.
 Issues
and moral dilemmas are
discussed vis-à-vis a universal
frame of reference.
 It
involves the formation of the
will-the faculty which moves a
person to spend his/her energies
on possessing the goods he/she
needs for physical and spiritual
maturity.
 It
addresses the goal of the
Revitalized Homeroom Guidance
Program (RHGP)-guiding students
in the choice of a career or
vocation that match their interests
and aptitude.
What alternative curriculum
designs can be use to improve
Values Education in the
Philippines?
