...DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education is in charge of overseeing the country's school system, particularly in the Basic Education Department. The DepEd handles the overall administrative process of elementary and secondary schools and it also issues Memorandums and Orders on anything related to the management of schools in the whole country. It is authorized to launch nationwide programs which usually aim to improve the conditions of public schools. Its vision is by 2030, DepEd is globally recognized for good governance and for developing functionally-literate and God-loving Filipinos. Furthermore, its mission is to provide quality basic education that is equitably accessible to all and lays the foundation for life-long learning and service for the common good. As a concerned Filipino citizen, I think it is imperative for me to know about the latest DepEd memo or program because as the Department in charge of the country's Basic Education, it should be where I gather my sources or knowledge about changes that may occur in our curriculum that could affect the children’s future. One thing I noticed is that school nowadays has now finally shown its cracks and holes that is drastically affecting our society. School punishes people for making mistakes. The punishment could be in verbal, psychological, or sometimes physical form. How does that happen? When you made a mistake or did not comply to a certain curriculum, you would be told you are wrong or even get...

As a beginning professional teacher, it is advantageous to know the legal bases of education and the programs and projects of the department. It must also be clarified about the rights, responsibilities, and accountabilities as a teacher. It is important that the beginning teacher must internalize their roles, rights, obligations, and accountability that must be performed as a professional teacher. Being a part of the organization, the beginning teacher must also be aware of the programs and projects of the department through the years to achieve the goal of improving the quality of basic education. The culture inherent in the system and structure of the department also helps in giving the right perspective and insight of the organization.

...DepEd adopts IP education agenda By TONY PE. RIMANDO January 18, 2012, 3:12pm PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines – A national policy framework (NPF) has been adopted by the Department of Education (DepEd) recently to answer the basic education needs of Indigenous Peoples (IPs) who live in mountain villages and sitios of Mindanao, and other areas of the country. Education Secretary Armin A. Luistro said the NPF for IPs is in line with the country’s commitment to achieve its Education for All (EFA) targets, and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which are in pursuant to the DepEd Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA). Luistro explained through DepEd Order No. 62, Series of 2011, which was received here lately by DepEd Region 9 Director Walter O. Albos, that the NPF was preceded by a consultative and participatory process held in designated venues of Southern Philippines. Albos said the consultations were followed by a national validation workshop where participants affirmed the principles of the draft framework and later recommended the formulation and implementation of an IP basic education program. The events were attended by qualified representatives from various IP communities in the country, together with concerned government agencies, and civil service society partners to ensure that IP groups can claim ownership of this framework, Albos quoted Luistro’s directive. The DepEd chief, Albos said, described the NPF as “an instrument for promoting...

...Macion, Rona Liza T. 3BSED – Mathematics Preschool pupils must not be over 5—DepEd By Dona Z. Pazzibugan Philippine Daily Inquirer How old should a child in preschool be? With kindergarten now mandatory under the K to 12 program, the Department of Education (DepEd) has required preschools and day care centers to comply with the standard requisite age for preschoolers. The preschool age should normally be up to 5 years old only, since by 6 years old a child is expected to be in Grade 1, according to the DepEd. Under Republic Act No. 10157 or the universal public kindergarten program passed last year, the DepEd made one year of kindergarten compulsory and a prerequisite to entering Grade 1. Kindergarten is free to 5-year-olds in the public elementary schools under the K to 12 basic education reform program, which consists of kindergarten, six years of elementary, two years of junior high and two years of senior high school. “Private (pre)schools should follow (the standard),” Education Undersecretary for Programs and Projects Yolanda Quijano said. “Whether they have nursery, kinder 1 or kinder 2 levels, they should now follow [the standard] that kinder is for 5-year-olds and Grade 1 is for 6-year-olds,” she said. Quijano clarified that while the DepEd required only one year of kindergarten, parents who can afford private day care centers or preschools can have their children start school as young as 3 or 4 years old to prepare them for regular schooling.

...DepEd chief: Moving start of classes to September will only benefit some areas KIMBERLY JANE TAN, GMA NewsAugust 14, 2012 3:30pm 61 4 2 1307 Tags: Department of Education Moving the opening of classes to September will only benefit some areas and not the entire country, Department of Education Secretary Armin Luistro said Tuesday. "When I looked at the data it looks like there is very little additional advantage, benefit for schools if you look at things nationwide," Luistro said at a Senate hearing on the K to 12 basic education program. Luistro said that proposals to move the opening of classes from June to September will probably just benefit the National Capital Region (NCR). "Obviously we cannot have a different start of the school year recognizing that the country may have different ways of experiencing the weather," he said. "I think the benefit of moving it to September may be confined to maybe NCR and a few other regions, but that may not necessarily translate to additional safety realities for the other regions," he added. Two climate types PAGASA acting deputy administrator for research and development Flaviana Hilario explained that the country has two climate types: Western areas of the country such as the NCR and Central Luzon fall under type 1 climate, which experiences rain from May to September. Eastern areas such as Aurora and the Bicol region experience type 2 climate, with their rainy season lasting from October to January...

...2. VERSUS COMPARE a. In Realistic metaphysics, the thinker (subject) and the thing–thought–of (object) are taken to exist simulataneously and indepen dently. Both the thinker, the subject, i.e., the ‘I’, and the object, the things of the world, are taken to exist independen tly and on their own strength. The existence of the objects do not depend on the subject. Idealistic metaphysics starts with the examining the question of existence by first taking up and proving the existence of the ‘I’, the subject. This is seen in the famous Cartesian dictum: I think, therefore I am. The existence of every other thing is then taken up from the viewpoint of this ‘I’, their existence is secondary to the ‘I’ and their reality or not depends on the ‘I’. b. epistemological realism is the idea that observable characteristics exist in the observed object, independent of the observer. Likewise epistemological idealism is the idea that the characteristics exist in the mind of the observer independent of the object. example of "If a tree falls in a forest does it make a sound?" Someone who is a strict epistemological idealist will say, no, because no one is there to observe the tree falling to interpret what happened as making a sound and thus it cannot create a "sound". But someone who is a strict epistemological realist will say, yes, because sound is just pressure waves in the air and there does not have to be an observer in order to make a "sound". C 3.

...UN attacks dropout rate in Philippines The United Nations (UN) has dared the Aquino administration to come up with a breakthrough Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Plan that will address high dropout rates and extreme poverty in the country, two of the goals that Manila is not on track to achieve the 2015 deadline, the Manila Times reports. The UN was referring to the eight time-bound, concrete and specific goals that 189 world leaders committed to achieving for their nations by 2015 at the UN in September 2000 namely: 1) end extreme poverty and hunger; 2) achieve universal primary education; 3) promote gender equality and empower women; 4) reduce child mortality; 5) improve maternal health; 6) combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases; 7) ensure environmental sustainability and 8) develop a global partnership for development. Dr. Jacqueline Badcock, UN resident coordinator in the Philippines, underscored that the bigger problem in the education situation is the increasing dropout rate in elementary levels as reported by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB). Based on the 2006 to 2007 NSCB statistics, the dropout rate increased from 8.6 percent to 9 percent, far from the 2006 target of decreasing it to 5.5 percent and 2009 target of 4.3 percent. “A targeted program that will identify causes and solutions for high dropout rates is urgently needed to reverse this alarming trend,” Badcock said. Badcock cited that case of the province of Sulu wherein only 62...

...not enough to provide them the free, quality education to which they are all entitled. We need generous hearts in the private sector to realize the spirit of Republic Act 8525 or the Adopt-A-School Act, enacted in 1988 for the very purpose of providing a venue for the strong and dynamic private sector to participate in nation-building through investments in the education of Filipino children. The rewards of such investments come through an educated generation that will succeed ours, run our enterprises, and steer this nation to greater heights. Over the years, DepEd introduced interventions to reduce student dropouts and keep the youth off the streets. It has sought to increase student achievement levels and improve teacher performance. It continues to bring the issues and needs of public education to every Filipino who cares, in an effort to invite each and everyone to help boost education opportunities for our young. DepEd, through the Adopt-A-School Program (ASP), sincerely invites all members of private entities to accept our offer of active partnership in the noble goal of educating all Filipinos. Education is the key to national growth. With Adopt-A-School, each Filipino...

...The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education. Six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School (SHS) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners. In 2011, the Department of Education started to implement the new K-12 educational system, which also included a new curriculum for all schools nationwide. The K-12 program has a so-called "phased implementation", which started in school year 2011-2012. According to the DepEd Sec. Armin Luistro said that there is no stopping the implementation of the K to 12 Program, particularly Senior High School (SHS) Program which will be implemented nationwide starting school year 2016-2017. The President lauded the DepEd and its partners for the continued implementation of the K to 12 Program. The Republic Act 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 also known as the “K to 12 Law” which was signed by Aquino in May 2013. The summit was attended by teachers, school heads, students, parents, local government units (LGUs), and representatives from the private sector with other stakeholders. Department of Education maintained that it is not giving President Benigno Aquino III wrong information on the government’s readiness to implement the K to 12 program, contrary to claims made by a senator. In a statement Communication Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said that “The K to 12 program is important for the country’s...
