EDUCATION POLICY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Policy and Research Program (PRP)
The Policy and Research Program (PRP) supports DepEd in
strengthening evidence-based decision-making through the
oversight, promotion, and conduct of policy development,
research, and sector monitoring and evaluation.
PRP supports the implementation of three key areas: (1) policy
development, (2) research management, and (3) sector
monitoring and evaluation. It also includes the Basic Education
Research Fund (BERF), a funding mechanism for DepEd
researchers, which the Regional Offices manage. Qualified
DepEd personnel may avail themselves of the grant as provided
in DO 16, s. 2017 and DO 26, s. 2021.
Through the DO 13, s. 2015, the policy development process in DepEd was established while DepEd
Order No. 39, s. 2016 adopts the Basic Education Research Agenda, which guides education
research and utilization of results to inform planning, policy, and program development. The Basic
Education Monitoring and Evaluation Framework was recently issued through DepEd Order 29, s.
2022, to establish the roles and responsibilities of all DepEd operating units in monitoring and
evaluation. Support fund is also provided to Regional Offices to roll out the Basic Education Monitoring
and Evaluation Framework policy.

BASIC EDUCATION INPUTS PROGRAM
Basic Education Facilities (BEF)
The School Building Program under the Basic Educational
Facilities Fund (BEFF) of the Department of Education (DepEd)
aims to address the classroom gaps in high-priority schools
nationwide. The BEFF was incorporated into the General
Appropriations Act (GAA) in 2013. Before this, the Department
had two budget sources for the School Building Program – the
Regular School Building Program (RSBP) by Republic Act 7880
(Equitable Access to Basic Education Law) and the School
Building Program for Areas Experiencing Acute Classroom
Shortage (Red and Black Schools in the Basic Education
Information System).
Prior to BEFF, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) only implemented the Regular
School Building Program with an annual budget of P1 billion, 90% of which is implemented by DPWH,
and the remaining 10% is called the discretionary fund of the Secretary of Education implemented by
DepEd. Likewise, since 2005, the School Building Program for Areas Experiencing Acute Classroom
Shortage was incorporated into the DepEd’s Budget, where DepEd oversaw its implementation until
2012. DepEd Order 18, s. 2023 governs the Allocation, Receipt, Utilization, Monitoring, and Reporting
of the Basic Education Facilities Fund.

1. Construction of School Buildings
Under the basic education facilities, one of the components is
the construction, replacement, and completion of school
buildings, including technical-vocational laboratories. The
program aims to address classroom requirements based on
standard parameters per key stages and replace school
buildings totally damaged by typhoons and other calamities and
those that are structurally unsafe and need replacement.
2. Classroom Repair and Rehabilitation
DepEd’s school infrastructures and facilities need maintenance
religiously to ensure the safety of teachers, non-teaching
personnel, and learners. This is dealt with the rehabilitation,
renovation, and repair of Kindergarten, Elementary, and
Secondary school buildings, and repair of water and sanitation
facilities. The classroom repair and rehabilitation anchor on the
"Repair All" policy to cover all repair needs of the schools. The
project extends to the repair of multi-purpose buildings,
gymnasiums, stages, courts, fences, walkways, and other nonclassroom facilities damaged by calamities and having
immediate repair needs. A specific budget is appropriated for
this component to maintain the quality of classrooms and their
conduciveness for learning with appropriate space.
3. Provision of School Furniture
The provision of school furniture includes sets of learners’ tables
and chairs, sets of teacher’s tables and chairs, and sets of
working tables and stools for technical and vocational
laboratories. School furniture was also redesigned from
armchairs to tables and chairs. The school furniture is provided
to newly constructed classrooms and existing classrooms
needing replacement of their old school seats and other
furniture.
4
4. Electrification of Schools
Newly constructed classrooms package connection to electrical
systems. Also, schools without access to electricity are focused
on this component to ensure that all schools, on or off-grid, are
energized and connected to modernized electrical systems.
Specifically, it includes upgrading existing electrical power
systems of existing buildings, purchasing and installing
appropriate transformers, and installing solar power systems, as
may be necessary and appropriate in the use of renewable
energy.
5. Priority School Health Facilities
In strengthening the return of the in-person classes, the department appropriated an amount
specifically to establish COVID-19 response in schools. This is through constructing potable water
facilities, toilets, handwashing stations, and school clinics. These facilities will ensure proper hygiene
for learners, teachers, and other school personnel.
Gabaldon Heritage Schools Restoration and Conservation
Recognizing the importance of Gabaldon Schoolhouses
and other heritage school buildings in the history of
Philippine education, the Department of Education
(DepEd) embarks on conserving and restoring these
school buildings to prevent their deterioration. These
schoolhouses are considered important structures
considering their architectural, historical, social, and
scientific significance. The passing of Republic Act (RA)
No. 10066, “National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009,” and
RA No. 11194, “Gabaldon School Building Conservation
Act,” further prove the significance of these structures to
Filipino heritage.
Cognizant of the importance of Gabaldon Schoolhouses to Filipino education and culture, DepEd took
the initiative to preserve their original architectural features and reinforce their structural integrity. In
March 2018, the Office of the Undersecretary for Administration (OUA), through the Education
Facilities Division (EFD), officially introduced the Gabaldon Heritage Schools Restoration and
Conservation Project. The guidelines in the conservation and restoration of Gabaldon Schoolhouses
and heritage school buildings mandated in the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA
11194 of 2019 shall be conformed accordingly.

Quick Response Fund (QRF)
DepEd intended to fast-track the recovery programs of the
department on school communities or areas stricken by
disasters, natural or human-induced calamities, epidemics,
pandemics, or complex emergencies (RA 10121 or the
Philippine DRRM Act of 2010). Specifically, DepEd utilizes this
fund to rehabilitate and repair school buildings and facilities. The
main purpose of this fund is to bring back normal operations as
quickly as possible for school communities.
Last Mile School Program (LMSP)
In May 2019, the DepEd Memorandum No. 59, s. 2019 entitled
“Prioritizing the Development of the Last Mile Schools in 20202021: Reaching Out and Closing the Gap,” was released. It
formalized the efforts and made the actions taken in line with the
Last Mile Schools Program official.

New School Personnel Position (NSPP)
The Department of Education proposes the creation of new teaching
positions through the New School Personnel Positions (NSPP) Program
to attain the ideal teacher-learner ratio in every public school
nationwide. NSPP is crucial in providing quality basic education
because teaching personnel in school precedes a conducive learning
environment. Teachers remain to be the most vital factor in ensuring
learner achievement even with the shifts in learning delivery modality.
Sufficient teaching personnel in schools optimize teacher-learner
contact time, supervision, and professional development opportunities.

INCLUSIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM
Multigrade Program
Education (MPPE)
in
the
Philippine
The Multigrade Program in Philippine Education (MPPE)
is anchored on Article IV, Section 1 of the 1987 Philippine
Constitution, which stipulates that the state shall protect and
promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels
and shall take appropriate steps to make such education
accessible to all. It is also the State's policy that the educational
system reaches out to serve educationally deprived
communities, enrich their involvement in community and
national life, and unite all Filipinos into a free and just nation.
The Multigrade Program was formally introduced to public schools to guarantee the continuing
provision of quality education services in the archipelago's remote, isolated, and underprivileged
communities. With low enrollment, public schools were encouraged to provide complete grade levels
or form a combination of Multigrade schools. It contributes to DepEd's strategic goal of increasing
access to and improving the quality of basic education. Multigrade Program aims the following:
a) Increase access to basic education in underserved and inaccessible communities with low
enrollment.
b) Establish multigrade courses in public and private schools to allow for the use of flexible
learning curricula for pedagogical and philosophical issues.
c) Enhance education in multigrade classrooms by providing suitable teaching and learning
materials and resources, technical assistance to teachers and school administrators, and
continuous monitoring and evaluation of classes; and
d) Encourage stakeholders to develop partnerships and linkages to improve Multigrade schools'
and students' engagement and learning performance.
Since its foundation in 1993, the program has become a vital part of the Philippines' basic education
system, providing substantial contributions to fulfilling the Department’s constitutional mandate for
education for all and global commitment.

Special Education (SPEd) Program
The Philippines is continuously responsive to Sustainable Development
Goal 4 (SDG4) in ensuring equal access to all levels of education
suitable to the learning needs of diverse learners by looking closely at
the status of each group of learners with varying contexts, eccentricities,
and circumstances.
The Special Education Program aims to develop the maximum potential
of learners with disabilities to enable them to become self-reliant. The
program also ensures the acquisition and maximization of learning
competencies and the inculcation of values to make them productive
and effective members of society. It shall also be geared towards
providing learners with disabilities the opportunities for an entire and
independent life by providing a relevant curriculum, adequate and
appropriate support mechanisms, and accommodations. Ensures
learning environments inclusive to LWDs by converting four hundred
forty-six (446) SpEd Centers into Inclusive Learning Resource Centers
(ILRCs), making 112 converted SpEd Centers by 2030.

Madrasah Education Program
Education among Muslim learners is one of the solutions that
address the issues like historical injustice, marginalization,
terrorism, violent extremism, alienation, poverty, and others.
Thus, the Madrasah Education Program (MEP), a
comprehensive program for Muslim learners in public and
private Madaris (schools), aim to provide Muslim Filipino
learners with appropriate and relevant educational opportunities
within the context of their cultures, customs, traditions, and
interests through the integration of the Arabic Language and
Islamic Values Education (ALIVE) in public schools and K to 12
Curriculum in private Madaris in the basic education program.

Indigenous People’s Education (IPEd) Program
Republic Act (RA) No. 8371 or the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act
(IPRA) recognizes, promotes, and protects the rights of Indigenous
Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples, including their right to
culturally appropriate education and development. DepEd's landmark
policy, DepEd Order No. 62 s. 2011 or the National Indigenous Peoples
Education Policy Framework, affirms DepEd’s recognition of the
longstanding education issues being raised by indigenous communities
and serves as the key basis for operationalizing IPEd-related provisions
of IPRA.
To address the education concerns of IP communities and learners, there is a need for a national
education system that is responsive to the context of Indigenous communities, respects their
identities, and promotes their indigenous knowledge, competencies, and other aspects of their cultural
heritage. An education that realizes inclusion addresses institutional gaps and promotes appropriate
education interventions at the community and individual levels. The Indigenous People’s Education
(IPEd) Program is DepEd’s response to the right of Indigenous Peoples (IP) to basic education.
Furthermore, the IPEd Program promotes the implementation of the K–12 Basic Education
Curriculum, which adheres to standards and principles that are inclusive, culturally sensitive, and
flexible enough to enable and allow schools to localize, indigenize, and improve based on the
educational and social context of the community.

SUPPORT TO SCHOOLS AND LEARNERS
PROGRAM
School-Based Feeding Program
The School-Based Feeding Program is the provision of hot
meals/nutritious food products (NFP) and milk to the severely wasted
and wasted Kindergarten to Grade 6 learners per Republic Act 11037,
“Masustansyang Pagkain para sa Batang Pilipino,” an Act signed by
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte last June 20, 2018.
The program is intended to address short-term hunger and malnutrition by providing nutritious food
products/hot meals and milk to undernourished (severely wasted and wasted) Kinder-Grade 6
learners in all divisions, covering 120 days. The meal must meet 1/3 of the Recommended Energy
and Nutrient Intakes (RENI) for children per Philippine Dietary Reference Intakes (PDRI).
The SBFP is managed by the Bureau of Learner Support Services (BLSS) which guides and directs
the field offices in the implementation of learner support services such as but not limited to, school
health, youth formation, after school sports development programs and other complementary
programs.
