Senior High School’s Specialized Subject: Computer Programming


It has been said that programmers are the most obliging people in our generation today as we are living in the millennial era specifically the age of technologies. Plenty of programs, softwares, applications, and games were invented, updated and developed by these so called programmers which are pretty convenient to many. Aside from that are the coding parts where they create an output through codes using programming software to satisfy human needs and/or wants. Based on a survey, people use technologies to make their works easier and faster so they prefer it than the usual manual and detailed process.



Their contribution has been highly appreciated and so, some institutions decided to introduce Computer Programming to our Senior High Schoolers. This triggers the youngsters to exploit their creativity through variety of ways of programming. We may be familiar with bloggers who manage their own blogs or sites. Well, that’s an example of what you may become once you study computer programming.

Computer Programming is just one of the many specialized subjects of Senior High School under Technical-Vocational Livelihood (TVL) career track. Its scope focuses on the development of the technology world and with that, it offers plenty of competencies such as:

  • Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECS)
  • Assessment of Personal Competencies and Skills
  • Environment and Market
  • Key concepts of market
  • Products and Services available in the market
  • Consumer Analysis
  • Hand Tools, Equipment, and Paraphernalia
  • Safety procedures in using hand tools and equipment
