Which DepEd Order implemented the Basic Education Curriculum of 2002 to be implemented in SY 2002-2003?

• A. DepEd Order no. 5 s. 1975
• B. DepEd Order no. 52 s. 1987
• C. DepEd Order no. 25 s. 2002
• D. DepEd Order no. 74 s. 2012

Answer: (C)

The main idea this item tests is which DepEd order created and laid out the Basic Education Curriculum that would start in the 2002-2003 school year. DepEd Order No. 25, s. 2002 is the one that issued the policy framework for implementing the Basic Education Curriculum, including the transition plan, learning areas, standards, and teacher-support structures needed for the rollout beginning in SY 2002-2003. The other orders come from different years and reforms, not the 2002 BEC implementation.
