Introduction

“By 2016, we will have our first batch of senior high school, or Grade
11… That’s the batch entering first year high school in June. By March 2018, we
will have our first graduates of the two additional years in senior high school,”
Elena Ruiz said.
As soon as the Department of Education announced last 2012 that there
will be a K-12 Curriculum, students agitatedly think about what strand they are
going to select. But choosing on what strand you are going to take is not that
easy. You have to weigh things first and consider other factors that may affect
your decision. Students should ask themselves this question: What do I want to
do after high school graduation? SHS is supposed to help lead students toward
a career path and not to mislead and confuse them.
Kristin Hans V. Santos of Bocaue, Bulacan province, pre-enrolled in ABM
at Manila Central University in Caloocan City because she wants to be “a
successful businesswoman someday.” She believes “the world changes because
of the business people who manipulates it.”
ABM is the short term for Accountancy, Business and Management. ABM
strand is under the Academic Track of K-12 Program. This is perfect for those
inclined in Mathematics and to those people who wants to enter the world of
business. Accountancy is the profession or practice of accounting. Also
measurement, processing, and communication of financial information about
economic entities. Business is an organization or enterprising entity engaged in
commercial industrial or professional. Management is the coordination of the
activities of a business in order to achieve desired objects.

This chapter reports the findings of a thorough study to establish the

factors that have led the students of choosing ABM as their way to their
desired strand, likewise, the significance of this related literature and studies that
are relevant to the research. An in-depth search done by the researchers. This
will also present the synthesis of the art, theoretical and conceptual framework
to fully understand the research to be done and lastly the definition of terms for
better comprehension of the study.
Gubalane (2016) asserted that there are two main factors to consider
when choosing your Senior High School Track and Strand in the k to 12
Program: (1) college plans; if you are planning to proceed to college after Senior
High School, what possible course are you planning to take? He stated that, “If
you can have the answer to these questions, then it will be easier to choose
among the different tracks and strands.”; (2) availability; not all tracks and
strands will be offered by schools in your area. “You should check the available
options first. Try to inquire too if the schools are well equipped.”, he proclaimed.
Some colleges are also offering Senior High School. These are mostly private
colleges but you can use DepEd’s voucher program to get discounts.

Accordingly, Pedragoza (2016) stated that as an ABM student, she enjoy
every moment she have. “Of course sometimes it gets hard and I know even
you experiencing hard times right? But if you love your course, the hard times
doesn't matter that much just think for the positive outcome. For me ABM is life
because besides of having classmates that is crazy us me, subjects you can
like, and having good teachers, ABM also give you the good future or jobs after
you graduate under this strand. ABM is a strand which a student choose
because they want to become a successful accountant or to become a
successful businesswoman or man.”
As quoted by Pedragoza (2016), the factors in choosing ABM as your strand
are; (a) you are willing to have a business someday. It is because in this strand,
you are going to study how to have a business, entrepreneurship, what are the
characteristics does a business man/woman have? (b) Inclined with the subject
Mathematics. But not all because some student says "If this is your weakness,
you should give more focus here." Most of the students choose this strand
because they are good in Math which makes it easier for them. (c) A heart that
loves what he/she do as an ABM student. You cannot achieve your goal if you
don't love your course. If you love everything about ABM, you can give your full
effort and attention just to achieve your dreams. http://ghelu06.blogspot.com
