by DepED;
 New schools without school ID are given temporary ID
by the NETRC and no other sources to avoid duplication
and to facilitate allocation of TM’s; and
 The issued temporary school ID number by NETRC will
now be used as permanent school ID until such time

Guidelines in the Preparation of Enrolment Data for the
NAT and NCAE
Two sets of matrices for the enrolment data shall be prepared:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Elementary level covering Grades 3 and 6;
Secondary level covering Year 2 and Year 4;
The enrolment data starting July 30, 2011 or beyond should be the basis;
Consider only total enrolment for each school. No gender segregation;
Group schools by municipality and not in alphabetical order as to listing of schools;
Legislative district is considered and not school district;
Lone district is the only one in the province, while first district is a part of a large province having
more than one constituency;
8. Provide separate lists for elementary schools (Grades 3 and 6) and secondary schools (Second
Year);
9. Use the standard format found below in the preparation of enrolment data. Soft and hard copies
have to be submitted in Excel format; and
10. On school ID’s:
- BEIS and NETRC are using similar school ID’s both recognized by the Department
- New schools without school ID’s are given temporary ones by the NETRC and no other sources to
avoid duplication and to facilitate allocation of Test Materials
- The issued temporary school ID’s by NETRC will be used permanent for future test administration
until such time when DepED issues another one
- In case the school ID’s differ from the School Header follow the one indicated in the School
Header.

Madam:
This is to inform your Office that the testing Program NCAE was successfully
administered in the Schools Division of __________. Likewise, all the test
materials have been accounted and packed in its original boxes; all of which are
ready for retrieval by the forwarder.
In this regard, may we be informed as to the exact time and date when the
forwarder has to retrieve the test materials?
In case, the DTC is not around to release the TM’s to the forwarder pls.
contact Mr./Ms. __________________ designation ____________________.
He/She is authorized to release said materials to the forwarder/courier.
Very truly yours,

Case Analysis
1. In a public school, the CE released 30 TB’s for NAT Grade 6
to RE assigned in Room 1. This figure is consistent with
the data in Form 3. During the retrieval time, the CE
received the TM’s of RE without bothering to count them.
When the CE returned the TM’s to the DTC, it was found
out that one TB was missing.
a. Which part of the EH was violated?
__________________________
b. At what stage of test administration was the TB lost?
__________________________
c. Who among the Testing Staff were accountable?
__________________________
65
Case Analysis
2. One perennial problem of NETRC is on dealing with
schools which were not released with the COR of their
respective examiner. What is the main source of this
problem?______________________________________
______________________________________________
______________________________________________
Recommendations:
______________________________________________
______________________________________________
66
Case Analysis
3. There were instances where examinees had mispelled
names or erroneous middle initials. Hence, requests
were made to rectify entries. What could be the reason
for this problem? _________________________________
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
Recommendations:
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
67
Case Analysis
4. Upon school opening, the enrolment data of Y4 are
needed by NETRC for an estimate of NCAE test
materials. One potent source for this is the third year
enrolment from the School Header. However, the data
appeared to be unreliable, about three million of third
year students were generated. What could have caused
this predicament? ________________________________
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
Recommendations:
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
68
Case Analysis
5. An unprogrammed activity of the NETRC is the conduct
of Special NCAE. However, it was observed that some
divisions kept on providing the NETRC a long list of
prospective takers during the season for the
administration of the regular PEPT in November. Why
did this happen? __________________________________
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
Recommendations:
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
69
Case Analysis
6. In one of the school visits of the key officials in the Central
Office, the principals were interviewed as to the maximized
utilization of NAT results. Suprisingly, the NAT achievement
level of his respective school is unknown to him. What could
be the main reason for this?_____________________________
_____________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________
Are NAT results important at the school level?
________________________________________________
________________________________________________
How could this have been accessed by the School Head?
_____________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________
70
Case Analysis
7. The Y2 NAT takers of a high school failed to take the OIISS....
In the affidavit of the Room Examiners who were asked to explain
by NETRC through the SDS, it has stated that they inquired from
the Chief Examiner whether the OIISS should be administered
since this was not a part of the NAT last year. The response was
this, “Hindi ko baga alam yan.” So why do we have to administer
it?
What could be inferred from this situation?
________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________
71
Case Analysis
8. Similarly in another high school, the Y2 students failed to take the
OIISS in two or more rooms. When the Room Examiners were
asked to explain by NETRC through the SDS, the reason was this,
the students don’t want to answer anymore for they are tired
already.
What could have been done to let the Y2 students take also the
OIISS? ___________________________________________________
________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________
72
Case Analysis
9. There were examinees from the public high schools
who were identified in data processing as GASTPE
grantees. Should this situation happen in public
schools? ______________________________________
Why?
______________________________________________
______________________________________________
______________________________________________
73
Case Analysis
10. One division had submitted the enrolment data only for public
schools. The DTC realized this only when she received the boxes
of test materials. What she did was to request the NETRC to
provide her additional test materials which were favorably acted
upon. However, it cost NETRC thousands to transport the TM’s thru
LBC. How could this problem be avoided? _____________________
