Educational reform: Implications for the Sciences and Mathematics
Abstract
The Philippines is scrambling to implement reforms to basic education covering Kindergarten to Grade 12 with 2016 looming as a watershed year, i.e., it is expected that no first-year tertiary students will enter higher education.
