SCHOOL MEMORANDUM
No. 1
s. 2024
SCHOOL-BASED PROJECT DEAR
To:
School Reading Coordinators
All Teachers
1.
In support of DepEd’s commitment to make the curriculum relevant to produce jobready, active, and responsible citizens by strengthening literacy programs, Northville
VI Elementary School informs all concerned of the conduct of School-Based Project
DEAR.
2.
The Department’s current initiatives provide opportunities to enhance learners’
academic performance, particularly the low proficiency levels in reading based on
national and international large-scale assessments. These assessment results
necessitate prompt attention to address learning gaps and strengthen the reading
proficiency of every learner.
3.
Similarly, to bolster the basic education priorities articulated in the MATATAG Agenda
and accelerate the achievement of education targets as stipulated in DepEd Order (DO)
No. 013, s. 2023 titled Adoption of the National Learning Recovery Program (NLRP),
there is a need to intensify Values, Health, and Peace Education. Values Education
remains a priority in compliance with Republic Act (RA) No. 11476, Good Manners and
Right Conduct (GMRC) and Values Education Act, which recognizes the vital role of
the youth in nation-building. The urgency for Peace Education is a prompt response to
the 2022 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) results which reveal that
bullying remains a pervasive problem in public schools and the need for Filipino
learners as global citizens to acquire and strengthen peace competencies allowing them
to become peace builders and advocates in their respective communities, while Health
Education demands stronger advocacy to ensure the overall health and well-being of
learners.
4.
In light of these considerations, DepEd shall implement Catch-up Fridays beginning
January 12, 2024, across elementary schools and community learning centers
(CLCs) nationwide. All Fridays of January 2024 shall be dedicated to the “Drop
Everything and Read” (DEAR) activity and orientation for field officials. It shall also
be used as a venue to gather feedback from field implementers on the guidelines of
Catch-Up Fridays.
5.
Immediate and wide dissemination and compliance of this Memorandum is desired.
