Pilot testing will be conducted in 841 schools this year, with 580 public and 261 private schools participating, DepEd Undersecretary Gina Gonong said.

Thirty-five pilot schools are in rural areas.

Changes to the SHS program include a decongested curriculum and more work immersion hours.

Core subjects will be decreased from 15 to five: Effective Communication, Life Skills, General Mathematics, General Science and Pag-aaral ng Kasaysayan at Lipunang Pilipino (Study of History and Filipino Society).

Two elective subjects are available for Grade 11 students, while Grade 12 learners have five to seven electives.

Work immersion hours will be increased to 640 from 340.
