As a parent, it can be difficult to guide your child in making a decision about their future. One of the most critical phases of your child's life comes before college: What senior high school track should they choose?
Their decision will heavily impact their college plans, career path and overall life direction after graduating.
To help families make an informed decision before a child enters senior high school, Mapúa University, the country's premier engineering and technological school, lists some tips and relevant factors to consider:
Know what their interests are. Understand your child's interests and strengths, especially their passions in life, and factor this into your decision. Talk to your child about their career aspirations and what they want to study in college, then choose an SHS track in line with the program they want to pursue.
Mapúa Senior High School offers cutting-edge tracks that prepare students for college: Academic Track (HUMMS, ABM, STEM and GAS) and Arts and Design Track.
Consider the job market. Look for in-demand careers and other jobs projected to grow in the future when choosing an SHS track and eventually the college degree for your child.

Research.

Ensure your child is getting the best education possible on their chosen track by looking at the school's facilities, curriculum and legacy.
