-AA+A
Tuesday, July 9, 2013
THE Department of Education-Cordillera Administrative Region (DepEd-CAR) will conduct massive Regional Literacy Mapping (RLM) to survey all indigenous peoples (IP) and non-IP learners, out-of-school youths (OSYs) and adults in all the barangays of the region.
In a regional memorandum issued by DepEd-CAR Regional Director Ellen B. Donato, the RLM is a locally initiated project that aims to support the attainment of universalization of the Basic Education and the objectives of the Education For All (EFA) and will involve the participation of all barangay officials to assist in the conduct of the mapping.
Other objectives of the activity are: to establish census of all in school learners, OSYs and adults including senior citizen groups, IPs, street children, and persons with disabilities to guarantee their enrollment in the formal education or in the Alternative Learning System (ALS); to determine appropriate/relevant DepEd programs and projects or alternative delivery modes for the different group of learners and to establish regional repository of data and information needed for policy formulation and preparation of the Regional Educational Development Plan (REDP).
The RLM which will be massively conducted in the months of June to September of this year in all barangays in the region, will be done by selected formal teachers, ALS mobile teachers and district ALS coordinators.
The literacy mapping will be done every Saturdays, Sundays, holidays or it could also be done after office or class hours.
All DepEd officials who will be involved in the said endeavor shall be given Compensatory Time-Off or Compensatory Overtime Credit for 15 days.
The RLM survey forms were finalized by members of the Regional RLM Technical Working Group that included representatives from DepEd, National Economic and Development Authority, Department of Interior and Local Government, Department of Social Welfare and Development, National Commission on Indigenous People, National Statistic Office, state universities and colleges and Philippine Information Agency.
Other members were planning officer/Indigenous Peoples Education coordinator of the different schools division offices. (Maria Aprilla Cruz)
