“The Office of the President and the Department of Education have decided to abolish Grades 11 and 12.”
What Vera Files found
The Office of the President did not issue any statement announcing the abolition of Grades 11 and 12. Senior high school remains an integral part of basic education as mandated under Republic Act No. 10533, and the Department of Education is actively implementing its strengthened curriculum rather than scrapping the program.
