During my participation in the SEA Teacher Student Exchange program, there are a lot of things that I observed between the Schools in the Philippines and Future Integrated Schools.

unlike the Philippine system where lower-grade levels usually
have classes from Monday to Friday.
2. Starting the week with a flag ceremony on Mondays.
3. At Future Integrated Schools, the standard duration for each
subject is typically 40 minutes, whereas in the Philippines, class
durations can vary based on grade level and may extend up to an hour.
4. The strict adherence to punctuality at Future Integrated Schools,
where classes conclude promptly when the alarm sounds, that
contradicts with the practice in the Philippines, where teachers
occasionally permit students to stay a little longer.
