DepEd rescues students affected by non-renewal of private schools

DAVAO DEL NORTE, June 8 (PIA) - - “Kami ang bahala sa mga bata. Magpadayon ang paghatag ug education services para kanila. (We will take charge of the children. Educational services will continue to be provided to them). People need not to worry.
Government will do its responsibility in those areas concerned.”
Department of Education XI Jenielito Atillo said that the department will rescue the students affected by the private schools, who did not renew their government permit to operate for the school year 2015-2016.

According to the records of DepEd XI, around 25 institutions offering basic education in the region failed to renew to DepEd their government permit to operate for the school year 2015-2016.
Atillo emphasized that the DepEd already institutionalized a program for the affected students depending on the situation and conditions of the area.

He disclosed that the department will employ any of the following system: integrated school system, multi-grade system or combination classes.

He explained that the integrated learning system will be set up if the need of the area is an elementary school and there is an existing secondary school or vice versa.

“This is like setting up an elementary school in an existing secondary school or vice versa,” he said.

He added that the multi-grade system will have two or more grade level in one classroom administered by one teacher while the combination class will have two classes in one classroom with one by one teacher.

“Our target for them to start classes is on or before July 1,” Atillo bared.

He said that they have already identified the teachers, schemes to employ for the smooth opening of classes.

“We should not be worry about the period. We are already late. That’s not a problem. We will just extend the classes to cover 201 school days mandated by the department.” (PIA11, Michael Uy)
