Project Overview
The new national curriculum, which has been introduced in the Philippines in stages since 2024, aims to equip students with 21st century skills. However, priority has been given to improving academic performance in science, social studies, and mathematics, resulting in the reduction of music classes and integration with other subjects in elementary school grades 1 to 3, and raising concern about a potential lack of the learning opportunities that contribute to the development of well-rounded human resources with 21st century skills, which the curriculum aims to foster. This project will contribute to the acquisition of 21st century skills by introducing Japanese-style music education, including the use of musical instruments.
