“Isang malaking tagumpay para sa kabataang Pilipino ang muling pagsisimula ng in-person learning ngayong araw na ito. Isang habkang na buong tapang na ginawa ng Department of Education sa kabila ng mga hamon at takot na dala ng COVID-19 pandemic,” Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Z. Duterte said in her welcoming speech during the school opening program held at Dinalupihan Elementary School.

“Our shared dedication, our shared strength as a nation, and our shared aspirations for children and our country has brought us all here today, and today we are making things possible for our children and for our country,” Vice President and Secretary Duterte added.

The enrollment data is based on the total of the Quick Count of the Learner Information System (LIS) and early registration data.

Region IV-A (CALABARZON) recorded the highest number of registrants with 3,423,460, followed by Region III (Central Luzon) and National Capital Region with 2,619,321 and 2,454,151 enrollees, respectively.

Meanwhile, the Department encourages more parents, legal guardians, and learners to register as the agency will still accept late enrollees in accordance to DO 3, s. 2018 on the Basic Education Enrollment Policy.

On the other hand, the Alternative Learning System (ALS) can enroll via digital and/or physical platforms established by schools and Community Learning Centers (CLCs) within the barangays.

“Hinikayat natin ang ating mga magulang na i-enroll na ‘yong mga hindi nakakapag-enroll na anak para maihanda natin [nang tuluy-tuloy] ang ating mga paaralan base sa actual number of learners this year,” DepEd Spokesperson Atty. Michael Poa reiterated.

Atty. Poa also reiterated that the start of the school year did not have any major issues, based on the reports of the regional directors.

“To echo our Vice President and Secretary’s message, when we say we are ready for classes, we are not saying that there will be no problems, we expect many challenges but as Filipinos we will be resilient. We will overcome. We will not break,” Atty. Poa said.

In her congratulatory message, Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones emphasized the importance of the partnership in developing effective learning materials in teaching and learning.

“We have to further enhance the effectiveness, the usefulness of the materials we are using. I do hope that this wonderful event will be shared with the rest of the public, it is good to discuss not only politics but also how we can catch up with mathematics, with science, how we can prepare not only the learning capacities of our learners but also the capacity to teach of our teachers,” Sec. Briones said.

DepEd, through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the BDO Foundation, Inc. and Huawei Technologies Phils., Inc. launched the search in December 2021. The SLM writing competition was open to teachers on developing creative and innovative SLMs that best integrate financial literacy concepts in Science and Mathematics as an avenue in developing a financially literate citizenry.

Undersecretary for Curriculum and Instruction Diosdado San Antonio expressed his gratitude to BDO Foundation for inculcating financial literacy in students in his opening remarks.

“Writing self-learning modules that integrate financial literacy concepts in our learning resources is something that should be supported by everyone because we know that efforts to make the youngsters more financially literate will have to anchor on relevant learning resources,” Usec. San Antonio said.

The nationwide competition received a total of 96 entries, which were evaluated by a panel of judges composed of distinguished academicians from the country’s top universities.

These learning materials will be uploaded on the DepEd learning resource portal, where they can be readily accessed by teachers across the country.

H3C Brings Innovative Education Scenario-based Solution and Latest Technologies to 13th EDIX Tokyo | TOKYO, May 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Focusing on the theme “Together, For A Digital Future”, H3C exhibited innovative education scenario-based solution and many of its latest technological achievements at the recent 13th Education Expo Japan (EDIX Tokyo), fully demonstrating its strong strength in facilitating the application of digital technologies in the education sector.

As the largest exhibition of its kind in Japan, the 13th EDIX Tokyo, showed the latest educational IT products and solutions and gathered many top IT service providers, education experts, and industry pioneers, who discussed the latest topics and shared problems facing the education sector in the digital era.

Unlocking Knowledge for A Promising Future with Digital Technologies

Developing digital education and establishing a convenient and efficient education system has gradually become a global consensus. Last year, the Japanese government established a new Digital Agency to meet the needs of the digital economy and boost digital transformation in all industries. In particular, the government has rolled out the roadmap on the utilization of data in education under the mission of digitalization in education “a society where anybody, at any time and place, can learn with anybody in his/her own way”.

“As a company devoted to facilitating global digital transformation with solutions, H3C looks forward to growing together with customers and partners and contributing to a bright future of digital education in Japan,” said Peter Pi, General Manager of H3C Japan.

“We hope that our customers and partners will know better of our strength as a digital solution provider through the expo. We will continue giving full play to our advantages so as to bring better services to customers and partners,” Pi stressed.

At the expo, H3C mainly displayed its “Innovative Education” scenario-based solutions, fully showcasing its advanced technologies, products, and solutions as well as cases in empowering digital education.

Helping Embrace Digital Education with Scenario-based Solutions

H3C set up an innovative education-themed scenario-based exhibition area and especially put on display its cloud & AI platform, intelligent connectivity and innovative education solution, which cover multiple educational scenarios as well as scenario-based models of the applications of digital technologies including the smart classroom.

H3C staff introduced its latest products and solutions to guests with demo show at the 13th EDIX Tokyo.

Since it entered the Japanese market, H3C has endeavored to inject impetus into digital transformation with its rich experience accumulated in global markets and competitive full-stack products.

For example, H3C has been engaged in the networking construction project for Japanese schools with turnkey products and solutions involving Wi-Fi 6 products, PoE switch and Cloudnet solution, strengthening its pledge to provide high-performance wireless networks and intelligent cloud O&M management services. The deployment project is also part of the country’s GIGA School initiative launched to connect schools nationwide to high-speed Internet and high-quality digital learning services, and build high-speed and large-capacity communication environments.

Many customers and partners showed great interest in the exhibits of H3C at the EDIX Tokyo. According to them, the products and solutions brought by H3C not only suit the pressing industrial digital needs but can benefit digital trade and exchanges between China and Japan. They also showed the intention of seeking in-depth cooperation with H3C and jointly promoting digitalization in education.

This three-day expo has provided an excellent demonstration of how H3C continuously promotes the development of smart technologies in education and drives the digital transformation of the education sector with scenario-based solutions and products. In the future, H3C will further leverage innovations to drive high-quality digital education in Japan and set examples of digital growth in global markets.

“We cannot underestimate the efforts of the youth because even in their own ways, they take active steps to protect the environment. For example, Generation Z or better known as Gen Z supports movements like purchasing cruelty-free products, zero-waste management,and the like. If they can do it, so can we with our learners,” Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones said during the event.

Organized by the Office of Assistant Secretary for Youth Affairs and Special Concerns (OAYASC) and the Youth Formation Division (YFD), the Earth Day virtual event highlights the theme “Youth: Invest in our Planet” which tackles the importance of bayanihan to protect and conserve the environment for future generations as the goal moves from restoring the earth to investing in it in sustainable ways in the light of climate change and growing number of environmental issues worldwide.

“I call for the youth and everyone to be good role models, to take care of our Mother Earth, and be the bearers of change for a better world. we cannot tell what the future holds but every day, let us invest in our planet by being actively involved in environmental activities and endeavors,” Sec. Briones added.

During the panel discussion, youth representatives presented their green initiatives such as the establishment of a vegetable garden, following sustainable food consumption practices like backyard gardening, steaming vegetables, Gulayan sa Paaralan Program (GPP), distribution of fruit-bearing tree seedlings, and Environmental-Friendly Purchase.

Davao Del Sur School of Fisheries SSG Vice President Ramzel Ivan Hugh Delloro shared the following tips for eco-friendly purchases: shop at eco-friendly stores, avoid impulse buying, buy local products, buy fruits and vegetables that are in season, reduce online order deliveries, buy recycled items, bring eco-shopping bags, avoid pre-washed groceries, and choose organic and natural products.

“Eco-friendly living can lead to cost savings from energy and water efficiency, less maintenance, enhanced air quality, a healthier lifestyle, increased property value, and positive impact chance in the community to help save the planet,” Delloro said. 

Meanwhile, Assistant Secretary for Youth Affairs and Special Concerns Juan Valeriano Respicio IV noted that investing in something entails a certain degree of sacrifice coupled with hope as he urged learners to rise and invest in planet Earth for their future and the future of generations yet to be born.

“Now is the time for us to act. To sacrifice and to invest. To the youth, I encourage you to be more conscious and proactive and to be supportive of our efforts to preserve the environment. Let us focus our attention on matters concerning climate change and be part of the solution to the ever-growing and ever-changing challenges concerning the environment,” Asec. Respicio said.

YFD OIC-Chief Rovin James Canja, Region XI Director Allan Farnazo, School Division Superintendent – SDO Davao del Sur Nelson Lopez, and ASDS Janette Veloso also attended the virtual Earth Day 2022 celebration.

DepEd, DOH, and USAID kicked off the BIDA Kid national campaign at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall on Tuesday. The campaign encourages learners, teachers, and education stakeholders to keep practicing COVID-19 health and safety guidelines in schools and public spaces.

“One of our utmost priorities is the safety of our learners amid the risk of COVID-19. The BIDA Kid campaign is another whole-of-government initiative to encourage everyone to keep our children protected while we progressively reintroduce classroom-based learning,” Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones said.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III and USAID Mission Director Ryan Washburn joined Secretary Briones to unveil the official music video and key visual of the campaign, which highlights the 3Bs: Bakuna (Vaccination), Bayanihan (Solidarity), and BIDA behaviors (Bestfriend natin ang masks, Ingatan at hugasan ang kamay, Dumistansya upang makaiwas sa sakit, Airflow ay panatilihin)(Wear masks, observe hand washing and social distancing to avoid getting sick, and maintain room airflow).

Secretary Duque highlighted the importance of the 3Bs. He reminded education stakeholders to continue observing safety measures in schools and at home amid the improving COVID-19 situation in the country.

“A safe school environment is crucial for our children’s development both academically and emotionally. This is only possible if we continue to champion COVID-19 vaccination in our communities and commit to practicing the minimum public health standards everywhere and at all times,” Secretary Duque said.

USAID Mission Director Washburn said he was grateful for the strong partnership between USAID and the national government, as a whole-of-society approach ensures that physical classes can be conducted safely.

“Face-to-face classes give students better motivation to study, having the opportunity to interact directly with their teachers and classmates.  Classrooms offer a supportive environment for learning as well as social and emotional well-being,” said USAID Mission Director Washburn. “As your friend, partner, and ally, the U.S. government, through USAID, will continue to collaborate with our Philippine government counterparts, so Filipinos are better able to manage the impacts and bounce back quickly from the COVID-19 pandemic.”

As of March 28, around 13,692 public and private schools are conducting in-person classes, according to the latest DepEd field report. Thanks to the country’s Resbakuna Kids campaign, about 10 million children have been vaccinated against COVID-19, and the DOH continues to secure additional vaccine doses for them.

The BIDA Kid campaign, including BIDA kits, the music video, jingle, and key visuals, will be rolled out to all schools and DepEd offices. Field offices are encouraged to display and develop localized materials to further amplify the campaign’s messages.

The month-long activity aims to ensure that incoming learners are registered for the next SY and help the Department better anticipate and deal with the possible challenges and concerns, as stated in the DepEd Order No. 3, s. 2018 or the Basic Education Enrollment Policy.

“All incoming Kindergarten, Grades 1, 7, and 11 learners in all public elementary and secondary schools are encouraged to pre-register to allow the Department to make necessary preparations and adjustment of plans for the incoming School Year,” Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones said.

Briones also noted that Grades 2-6, 8-10, and 12 do not need to participate in the early registration as they are considered pre-registered.

The Department encouraged private schools to conduct their respective early registration activities in the same timeframe.

“As we are set to conduct early registration, we remind our school authorities from both public and private schools to strictly implement the Kindergarten cut-off age under DO 020, s. 2018,” Sec. Briones said.

Despite the developing COVID-19 situation in the country, DepEd urged everyone not to be complacent and follow the IATF guidelines and DOH’s minimum health and safety standards.

“In the context of the prevailing COVID-19 public health emergency, the conduct of the early registration shall be done remotely in areas under Alert Levels 3-5. In-person registration through parents or guardians may be allowed in areas under Alert Levels 1-2 provided physical distancing and health and safety protocols are strictly observed,” Briones said.

In 2021, the Department implemented a hybrid set up for the early registration, remote for areas under General Community Quarantine (GCQ) and in-person for areas under Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ).

Last year, more than four million learners signed up in the early registration for SY 2021-2022, showing continued support of parents to learning continuity.

Introduced to help DepEd anticipate the number of enrollees for the coming school year, the early registration also ensures the right of all school-aged learners to enroll and be equally provided with quality, accessible, relevant, and liberating basic education.

Moreover, it also seeks to locate, identify, and register out-of-school youth and children, who are in conflict with the law, homeless, living with disabilities, living in off-grid communities and geographically isolated areas, and displaced due to natural disasters and armed conflicts.

“Education will teach us to remember what women have always been, an equal member of our society. Education will always teach us that gender barriers, gender gaps, and gender biases should not have a place in our society,” Secretary Briones said during the Department’s IWD celebration program.

Bureau of Human Resources and Organizational Development Director Anne Rachel C. Miguel echoed Secretary Briones as she discussed the role of women during the pandemic and in a post-pandemic world.

“Women have been serving in the frontlines during the onslaught of COVID-19, and what happens next would not be more different than that. Education is key in ensuring that women will thrive in a post-pandemic world,” Dir. Miguel shared.

Spearheaded by the International Cooperation Office in collaboration with the United Nations Association of the Philippines (UNAP) and the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), the program also featured women at the forefront of advancing women’s rights worldwide.

The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Chief Executive for the Ministry for Women, New Zealand Renee Graham, tackled providing adequate and equal opportunities to girls and women.

“Gender education starting from schools can help society break free from gender biases, close gender pay gaps, avoid workplace segregation, promote inclusion, and provide economic empowerment to women,” Graham said.

Meanwhile, OIC of the UN Women Regional Office for Asia-Pacific Sarah Knibbs underscored the role of empowering women through education as one of the keys to solving the climate crisis. She noted that adopting a more comprehensive curriculum that includes gender equality, climate impacts, and resilience can shift the entire perspective on numerous pressing issues.

“This year’s theme for the International Women’s Day puts a spotlight on the importance of ensuring women and girls are centered in all our efforts to promote positive change for a sustainable future for all,” Knibbs said.

UNESCO Assistant Director-General Stefania Giannini also urged governments to build bridges with the education sector, especially learners, to advance their rights and empowerment in the classroom and beyond.

“We have been working hand-in-hand with governments, civil societies, the international community, to galvanize action in support of the creation of a resilient gender-responsive education system that leaves no girl or no boy behind,” Giannini remarked.

The celebration of this year’s International Women’s Day was in a hybrid format. The physical celebration was held at the Bulwagan ng Karunungan, Rizal Building inside the Department of Education Central Office located at Meralco Avenue, Pasig City, where it was attended by Chairperson Sandra Montano of the Philippine Commission on Women together with the personnel from the DepEd central office. On the other hand, teachers, students, and other stakeholders attended virtually via Zoom.

The month-long activity is initiated to ensure that incoming learners are registered for the  School Year and help the Department better prepare for possible issues and concerns that  may arise, as stipulated in DepEd Order No. 3, s. 2018, or the Basic Education Enrollment  policy. 

“All incoming Kindergarten, Grades 1, 7, and 11 in public elementary and secondary schools  shall pre-register to allow the Department to make necessary preparations and incoming plans  for the coming school year,” Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones said. 

The Education chief also noted that Grades 2-6, 8-10, and 12 are considered pre-registered  and will not need to participate in the early registration.  

Early registration is mandatory for public schools while optional for private schools. Private  schools, however, are mandated to strictly implement the Kindergarten cut-off age under DO  No. 20, s. 2018. 

Meanwhile, DepEd reminded schools and the public to still follow precautionary measures  against COVID-19 transmission for the early registration activity.  

“In the context of the prevailing COVID-19 public health emergency, the conduct of early  registration shall be done remotely in areas under General Community Quarantine (GCQ). In person registration through parents or guardians may be allowed in areas under Modified  General Community Quarantine (MGCQ) provided physical distancing and health and safety  protocols are strictly observed,” Briones added. 

Last year, in line with strict physical distancing and community quarantine measures, the  Department adopted remote enrollment in the first two weeks of the activity. On the third week,  physical enrollment was done in coordination with the Local Government Units (LGUs) and  physical enrollment platforms established by the schools.  

In previous years, regional and school division offices organized teams that will lead the  advocacy campaigns. Schools designated early registration desks in the school premises  manned by individuals tasked to handle the registration. They also undertook activities such as house-to-house campaigns, dissemination of print materials, social media information  campaigns, and engagement with parents, barangay officials, civic and people’s  organizations, and other stakeholders. 

The Early Registration was introduced to help the Department anticipate the number of  enrollees for the coming school year and instituted in DepEd Order No. 3, s. 2018, otherwise  known as the Basic Education Policy.  

Aside from incoming Kinder and Grades 1, 7, and 11 students, it also seeks to locate, identify  and register out of school youth and children who may be identified as living with disabilities;  living in an off-grid community; living in a barangay without a school; living in a geographically  isolated area; displaced due to natural disaster; living in an armed conflict area; living in an  area with a high level of criminality/drug abuse; having a chronic illness; having nutritional  problems; a victim of child abuse or economic exploitation; stateless/undocumented; in conflict  with the law; living on the streets; and no longer in school but interested in going back to  school.  

The early registration campaign ensures the right of all school-aged learners to enroll and be  equally provided with quality, accessible, relevant, and liberating basic education.
