The Department, through the Bureau of Curriculum Development – Curriculum Standards Development 

Division, in collaboration with the Assessment Curriculum and Technology Research Centre (ACTRC), 

started working on the identification of essential learning competencies in the middle of 2019 as part of its 

ongoing review of the intended curriculum. Bureau specialists, academic experts and field implementers 

worked to reach a consensus regarding the criteria to be used in determining these competencies. 

Initiated by Secretary Leonor Magtolis-Briones, the K to 12 curriculum review is not just meant to fulfill one

of the provisions of Republic Act (RA) 105333 to review the curriculum, but is also part of her commitment 

to ensure quality, relevant and liberating education for all. After the four phases of curriculum review are 

completed, the Secretary will convene the Curriculum Consultative Committee to present the findings as 

provided for in Section 6 of the same Republic Act.

The review focuses on articulation within and across learning areas to identify gaps, issues, and concerns 

across learning areas and grade levels. Specifically, the review covers the following:

● Mapping of the essential and desirable learning competencies within the curriculum;

● Identification of prerequisite knowledge and skills needed to prepare students for essential learning 

competencies; and

● Analysis of the interconnectedness of prerequisite knowledge and skills among the learning 

competencies for each subject area.

Essential learning competencies are defined as what the students need, considered indispensable, in the 

teaching-learning process to building skills to equip learners for subsequent grade levels and subsequently, 

for lifelong learning. On the other hand, desirable learning competencies were defined as what may enhance 

education but may not be necessary in building foundational skills. 

A list of characteristics of essential learning competencies was provided to help reviewers decide which 

among the learning competencies are deemed most important.
