1. LET’S TALK ABOUT … DepEd!

2. The Philippines' Department of Education (Filipino: Kagawaran ng Edukasyon), abbreviated as DepEd, is the executive department of the Philippine government responsible for the management and upkeep of the Philippine system of education. It is the chief formulator of Philippine educational policy and is responsible for the Philippine primary and secondary school system. Higher education is managed by the DepEd in coordination with another body, the Commission on Higher Education The DepEd is also known by its old name, the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (Filipino: Kagawaran ng Edukasyon, Kultura at Palakasan), or DECS.

9. Girls, don’t fight, I will explain to you our grading system I think he’s right Let’s listen to him

12. The final grade shall be determined by averaging the marks for the four quarters. In the case of secondary level, averaging across quarters shall be by subject only. Promotion of the secondary level shall be by subject. A student shall be retained in the year level if he/she incurs failures of three units or more during the regular school year and is unable to make up for the failed subject during summer sessions. Retained students need to repeat only those subjects that they failed. Previous issuances that are inconsistent with this Order are amended accordingly. Immediate and wide dissemination of this Order is expected.

14. Honor Students To determine the Top 10 pupils or students, they shall be ranked using the 7-3 scheme (7 points for academic performance-3 points for co-curricular activities) while their grades in the previous curriculum level shall not be considered in the ranking of honors for graduating pupils or students,” Lapus said in the order. “The final rating shall be computed to the three decimal places. In case of a tie, both candidates shall be declared in the same honor ranking like valedictorians, salutatorians or first honorable mentions. The guideline also stipulated that “All candidates for honor must be of good moral character and have not been subjected to any disciplinary actions within the current school year.” At the same time, the revised guideline also gave recognition to achievements of pupils and students in specific subjects such as Mathematics, Science and English or in co-curricular activities such as athletics, performing arts and campus journalism. The guidelines also provide that transferees shall be considered in the ranking of honor students provided they were enrolled in the school not later than the second week of classes in school year 2009-2010.

15. Transferees previously were not considered for the honors, especially valedictorians. Duly recognized annexes of public elementary and secondary schools with complete curriculum grades or year levels have now been allowed by the education department to choose their own set of honor school children. The DepEd named the school principal as chairman of the School Selection Committee (with three qualified teachers as members) which is required to officially announce the selected honor pupils/students not later than 15 days before the school’s graduation day. It also mandated that any member of the selection committee must not be related within the second degree of consanguinity or affinity to any of the candidate for honor. Lapus said in case of protest, the parent or guardian of the candidate for honor shall file the complaint before the school head, within five days after from the final announcement and the selection committee are mandated to resolve the issue within the same period.

17. Na…na..naruto, I heard there were lots of issues involving DepEd Oh, what are those?! Who can tell me about that?

21. The DepEd ICT Curriculum is very late. The latest ICT curriculum was made last 2004 and the basis of this curriculum is still Microsoft Operating System, Microsoft Office, Basic hardware and software with actual or hand on experience, basic web development with little discussion on graphics and basic programming which until 2009 the computer teacher was unable to implement due to lack of programming training and trainors.
