mummies of them. Mummies several thousand years old have been discovered nearly intact.

head, and polio killed a child king. Mummification consisted of removing the internal organs,

applying natural preservatives inside and out, and then wrapping the body in layers of

bandages.

The K to 12 Program was introduced in the Philippines with the aim of providing sufficient

time to master concepts and skills, prepare graduates for higher education, produce lifelong

learners, and prepare students for middle level skills development, entrepreneurship, and

employment (Republic of the Philippines Official Gazette). Hence, the program added two years

of Senior High School (SHS). The courses. The courses that can be learned from SHS include

accounting, welding, machinist work, agriculture, music, medical technology, and culinary and

hospitality work.

still a mismatch between our schooling system and working system. As regards the

implementation of SHS, some people are concerned about the lack of learning materials

provided to the schools. For example, during the school year 2013-2014, learning materials for
