Sample questions with answers and explanations

Sample 1

What is the MATATAG curriculum?

Answer: A

The MATATAG Curriculum is DepEd's refinement of K-12, rolling out by grade level starting School Year 2024-2025. 'MATATAG' (meaning 'strong/resilient') stands for the agenda priorities. Key changes: streamlined competencies, fewer learning areas in early grades, and stronger focus on foundational skills (literacy, numeracy, socio-emotional).

Tip: MATATAG = K-12 refinement, started SY 2024-2025. Focuses on foundational skills.

Why the other choices are wrong
  • B. MATATAG is a curriculum FRAMEWORK, not a subject.
  • C. MATATAG isn't an assessment system.
  • D. Not a promotion system.

Sample 2

MATATAG aims to address one of K-12's major criticisms: that the curriculum was:

Answer: B

K-12 was widely criticized for being CONTENT-OVERLOADED — too many learning competencies for teachers to cover meaningfully, causing rushed teaching and shallow learning. MATATAG streamlines competencies (similar to how MELCs did during the pandemic) to allow deeper mastery of fewer items.

Tip: MATATAG fixes K-12's overcrowding — streamlines for depth.

Why the other choices are wrong
  • A. K-12 wasn't called too easy.
  • C. K-12 added MORE years (13), not too short.
  • D. Wasn't a Filipino-only complaint.

Sample 3

MATATAG introduces 'Good Manners and Right Conduct' (GMRC) as a separate subject in:

Answer: B

Under MATATAG, GMRC (Good Manners and Right Conduct) is taught as a stand-alone subject in early elementary grades to strengthen values formation from the start. EsP (Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao) continues at later grades. RA 11476 (the GMRC Act of 2020) mandated this.

Tip: GMRC under MATATAG = early elementary (K-3). RA 11476 mandates it.

Why the other choices are wrong
  • A. GMRC isn't an SHS-only subject.
  • C. Not JHS-only — it's introduced at K-3.
  • D. Not Kindergarten-only — it spans early elementary.
