E-Net Philippines believes that:

• The Enhanced Kto12 program is not ripe for implementation as there are more pressing issues besetting the basic educational system that need to be addressed.
• It is unlikely that simply adding 2 years to the basic education program will arrest the deteriorating quality of education in the country.
• The additional 2 years in the basic education does not guarantee employment unless there are enough employment opportunities available in the market.
• Developing critical thinking skills starts during the formative years of a child and should be integral in the curriculum and teaching from ECCD to secondary education; it cannot be addressed by merely adding two years in high school.
• The purpose of education is to develop competent citizens who will serve the needs of the country and not to qualify them for jobs abroad.

In the desire to put forward the position, concerns and reservations of the different member organizations and marginalized groups regarding the proposed reforms in the basic education, E-Net Philippines took the initiative and invited the Department of Education (DepEd) for a dialogue to discuss and present the position of the organization on the proposed Enhance Kto12 Program last 18 July 2011.

The DepEd was represented by Undersecretary for Programs and Projects Dr. Yolanda S. Quijano, while three E-Net member organizations namely PRRM, KUMPAS and PIGLAS represented E-Net.
