Dahil sa pag-streamline ng core subjects, ilan sa maaapektuhan ay ang paglabnaw o tuluyang pagkawala ng paggamit ng wika at kontekstong Filipino. Matatandaang sa pagdating ng K to 12 ay tinanggal din ang Wika at Panitikan sa kolehiyo dahil "ibababa sa Senior High School" ang pagtuturo nito. Kasabay nito ay ang pagtanggal din sa trabaho ng libo-libong guro na nagtuturo ng mga asignaturang ito. Ngunit sa bagong kurikulm kung saan lima na lamang ang core subjects --- Purposive Communication, Understanding the Self, General Mathematics, Science, Technology and Society, Readings in Philippine History --- kapuna-puna ang tuluyan na ngang pagkawala ng Filipino, hindi lamang bilang disiplinang pag-aaralan kundi pati na rin bilang wika ng diskurso. Nauna na ring tinanggal noong nakaraang taon ang Mother Tongue Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) kahit pa sagana ang pananaliksik na nagpapatunay sa bisa ng paggamit ng sariling wika upang iangat ang literacy ng mga mag-aaral. #KaayohanParaSaTanan #BasicEducation #BatayanSerye
