English: The MATATAG K to 10 Curriculum decongests learning competencies from more than 11,700 to around 3,644. Experts pointed out that the previous congested curriculum prevented learners from mastering essential competencies, which led to the country's poor performance in international large-scale assessments such as the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).
Filipino: Mula sa 11,700 na learning competencies, 3,644 na lamang ang nananatili sa MATATAG K to 10 curriculum. Matatandaang nagbabala ang mga eksperto na ang congested curriculum ay nagiging sagabal sa epektibong pagkatuto ng mga mag-aaral, bagay na nagdulot ng mababang marka ng bansa sa mga international large-scale assessments tulad ng 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).
