Immediate Goal: Improved access to basic education
under the K to 12 BEP (SHS)
Outcomes:
1. Enabled DepEd to ensure learners access to SHS
Program (public & private)
2. Increased cohort survival rate from Grade 10 to
SHS (Grades 11-12)
3. Increased completion rate at Grade 12
AREAS OF CONCERN, ISSUES, CHALLENGES
• Will there be enough teachers to teach in the
technical-vocational stream in the Senior HS, and how
many students shall enroll in the Tech-Vocational
courses?
• How is the forging of partnership in terms of the onthe-job training/practicum experience of the Senior
HS students between and among TESDA, HEIs, TVIs,
public and private secondary schools, and with the
companies/industries ?
AREAS OF CONCERN, ISSUES, CHALLENGES
• There must be strict observance on the standard
qualifications of the trainers especially in TechnicalVocational courses
• Assurance that there will be adequate assessors and
assessment center for the issuance of NC certificates
AREAS OF CONCERN, ISSUES, CHALLENGES
* If only potential public secondary schools shall
offer SHS in 2016, where will the Grade 10
students of those public secondary schools
found not capable of offering SHS enroll?
* If this would be the scenario, will this not
affect the cohort survival rate from Grade 10 to
Grades 11-12?
AREAS OF CONCERN, ISSUES, CHALLENGES
* How is the prioritization in the application for
Partnership with DepEd by private education
institutions, HEIs, TVIs, and SUCs relative to the
implementation of the SHS? Who is the 1st
priority: SUCs/TESDA since they are funded by
government, or the HEIs/TVIs who also have
available faculty and facilities but shall require
government funding for teachers’ salaries and
use of facilities?
AREAS OF CONCERN, ISSUES, CHALLENGES
* Will there be teacher items for the SHS in
public schools, or will DepEd just hire part-time
instructors from HEIs/TVIs who might be jobless
in 2016?
* In case DepEd will hire teachers from
HEIs/TVIs, how much is the teachers’ salary per
month/per hour?
AREAS OF CONCERN, ISSUES, CHALLENGES
* What will happen to the teachers/instructors
from the HEIs/TVIs who will be laid-off in 2016
but will not be absorbed by DepEd to teach in
a public secondary school?
* How many SHS students could be
accommodated by DepEd in the E-GATSPE in
2016?
AREAS OF CONCERN, ISSUES, CHALLEGES
* What shall be the selection criteria for the
SHS students under the E-GATSPE program?
* How is the scenario in 2018 when the
HEIs/TVIs/SUCs shall now have their enrollees
in college courses? Shall they still
accommodate SHS students from public
secondary schools?
AREAS OF CONCERN, ISSUES, CHALLENGES
* Are the private secondary schools willing and
ready to accommodate SHS students from
public secondary schools?
* How much shall be the school fees to be
collected by private secondary schools from
the E-GATSPE SHS student recipients?
AREAS OF CONCERN, ISSUES, CHALLENGES
* Will there be enough government funds for the
salaries of SHS teachers, facilities, and E-GATSPE
Program?
* If the number of years in college shall be reduced
to only 3 -4 years instead of 4-5 years, will this not
impair the competitiveness of our college
graduates specifically in the global market?
PROBLEMS:
1. Bottom Planning seems a little difficult in
view of the following reasons:
• There is no clear-cut plan yet as to whether
DepEd shall partner with the private
secondary schools for the accommodation of
the SHS from the public secondary schools.
• DepEd has not yet expressed its interest as to
whether preference in partnership shall be
given to the SUCs/TESDA rather than to the
HEIs/TVIs.
AGREEMENTS:
1. Draw a Training Plan for the Teachers in
Senior HS particularly those who will teach in
the Tech-Voc. Stream, in partnership with
TESDA.
2. There must be sharing of qualified teachers
and facilities between and among the
public/private secondary schools, HEIs, and
TVIs.
AGREEMENTS:
3. The timelines for the submission of
application requirements for those who intend
to offer Senior HS must be extended.
4. There must be discreet evaluation of the
application documents of schools. HEIs, and
TVIs who shall be accredited as partners of
DepEd in the Senior HS implementation.
5. Follow – up the status of application
documents of HEIs and TVIs.
AS AN INSPIRATION….
Amidst the odds and peculiarities
of the situation,
“we can make great things
possible”,
by the power of convergence and
collaboration.
