Abstract
In 2013, Former President Benigno Aquino III approved the K-12 Curriculum. With the implementation of the new curriculum designs, the teachers who are the frontliners of the education system are the most affected. In this study, I focus on the lived-experiences of 3 teachers who have been teaching since the old curriculum.
It is found out that the change in curriculum design is not as easy at it seams. From the semi-structured interviews, three generals themes about the experiences of the participants arose: (a) the participants are optimistic about the contents of the new curriculum finding out that it is generally good in contex; (b) they seemed to be not in favor af the Outcomes based approach since it is now an excuse of the students for passing and is very student centric and lastly; (c) they are confident that they are already done with coping with the changes brought by the curriculum reforms.
