ABSTRACT

In the pursuit of the goals of the government that no child shall be left behind to attain higher learnings and that no Grade 12 applicants shall be denied entry in HEIs which offer free tuition and miscellaneous fees altogether. As a result, it is no surprise that the number of enrolees for the S.Y. 2018-2019 for the incoming freshman students among HEIs went up. To prepare for this transition, HEIs are mandated to help formulate and implement strategies to ensure a smooth transition into the new K to 12 system. This includes being able to formulate programs and improve college curriculum to address student’s needs in the community. This study conducted a preliminary survey among the senior high school students in the First District of Capiz. For the purpose of having a bird’s eye view on what courses are most preferred by senior high school students. Results showed that the courses most preferred by senior high school students are the Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education, Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Teacher education is seen or the consistent choice among high school graduates with the full implementation which still needs additional teachers in most academic areas. Business and technology courses are do preferred as technology becomes an integral part of the human existence.
