The purpose of Senior High School (SHS) applied subjects in the Philippines is to equip students with practical skills and knowledge relevant to specific industries and career paths. Unlike academic tracks that focus on theoretical learning, applied tracks provide hands-on experience and prepare students for immediate employment or further technical-vocational education. The goal is to:
-
Develop vocational skills: Applied subjects provide training in specific trades or professions, allowing students to develop the practical skills needed for employment in those fields.
-
Enhance employability: The curriculum aims to increase students' marketability by giving them the skills and knowledge demanded by employers.
-
Provide career pathways: Applied tracks offer clear pathways to specific careers, guiding students towards relevant further education or apprenticeship opportunities.
-
Promote entrepreneurship: Some applied subjects foster entrepreneurial skills, enabling students to start their own businesses after graduation.
-
Bridge the skills gap: Applied subjects help address the skills gap in various industries by providing a pipeline of trained and skilled workers.
-
Provide an alternative to academic tracks: The applied track offers a viable alternative path for students who may not be interested in or suited to purely academic pursuits.
In short, SHS applied subjects are designed to provide students with the practical skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the workforce or pursue further technical-vocational education, ultimately contributing to the country's economic development.
