K+10+2
 K+10+2 or K+10 Plus Two Bill was proposed by the former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo that seeks to return the previous education setup, with students considering high school graduates that completed kindergarten, elementary and junior high school (JHS). The Senior High School (Grade 11 and Grade 12) would be only for those who's willing to pursue and prepare for their college degree. According to Arroyo, the two (2) years in Senior High School is an "additional" burden to parents and students. She maintained, there should be an option for the students to decide whether to continue pursuing higher education or to start their employment journey. It is compulsory than the other curriculum that is mandatory.

Vice President and the current Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Sarah Duterte expressed her support on the revamping of the current K to 12 curriculum. According to her, DepEd should be more focused on providing more sufficient teaching skills. The K-12 system, which operationalized in 2012, has drawn criticism for falling short of its goal of producing graduates who are prepared for the workforce following two years in SHS. Yet according to research by the Philippine Business for Education, only 14 of the top 70 employers in all sectors of the nation were willing to hire SHS graduates. Most employers continue to favor candidates with college degrees.
