EFA Goals by 2015, the
deadline set by the UNESCO

10-POINT BASIC

1) 12-year Basic Education Cycle;
2) Universal Pre-Schooling for All;
3) Madaris Education as a Sub-system within the
Education System;
4) Technical-Vocational Education as an Alternative
Stream in Senior High School;
5) Every Child-A-Reader Program) by Grade I;
6) Science and Math Proficiency;
7) Assistance to Private Schools as Essential
Partners in Basic Education;

10) Covenant with the Local Governments to Build
More Schools.



PREVALENCE
OF
SCHOOL LEAVERS

The prevalence of school leavers among
Grade I has been noted over the past 10-year
basic education cycle. School leaver is the
most common problem of schools.
Interventions to reduce school leavers are
particularly important because the cohort
survival rate decreased remarkably. Schools
are an essential channel for intervention
because they offer access to large numbers
of pupils. Class advisers are the very persons
who should know the whereabouts of pupils.
In time of meeting the Education for All (EFA)
goals and the DepEd ROV targets, there is a
need to conduct an intervention program.
PERFORMANCE
INDICATORS
The elementary completion
rate level is still far from the
EFA target of 81.0 percent by
2015. Likewise, the drop-out
rate is 0.74 percent for the
elementary level and 5.32
percent for secondary level.
Possible reasons were due to
child labor, poverty, health and
sanitation, peace and order,
and other problems in a certain
area.


DepED Region V has
stepped up effort towards
the attainment of the
foregoing, but then it
continues to confront the
challenge of ensuring
greater participation of all
school-aged children,
especially in the secondary
level.
In school year 2011-2012, the net
enrollment rate in elementary
level was 92.30 percent and
49.48 percent in secondary level
which is far below the MDG and
Education for All (EFA) targets.
The cohort survival rate reached
76.78 percent for Grade VI in the
elementary and 73.14 percent for
Year 4 in the secondary level.


THE FIVE (5)
BASIC
QUESTIONS
1. What is the actual
enrolment trend from SY
2002-2003 (Grade I) to SY
2011-2012 (Year 4) along
male enrolment, female
enrolment, and region
total for male and female?


2. What transition grade or
level requires an
intervention program
based from the enrolment
trend?


3. What are the different
intervention programs
suggested by the
division?


4. What are the reasons
why pupils/students
tend to leave the
school?


5. What are the status of
some DepEd Programs
and Projects addressing
the problem on school
leavers?


BRIEF REVIEW
OF
LITERATURE:
A low percentage of
pupils reached
grade six (6) but a
high percentage of
elementary
graduates made it to
high school.
Low survival rates are due
to unstable economic
condition of families, poor
health and nutrition
among the learners, child
labor/employment, lack of
schools, and distance of
schools from the
residence of learners.
Results of the
National
Achievement Test for
elementary and high
school indicate below
average performance
in all subject areas.
School-age population
continues to increase,
but not all children
are in school, and
many children do not
finish basic education.


POLICY
THRUST
FY 2012-2015:

Increase school
participation, completion
and achievement at the
elementary and
secondary levels using all
delivery modalities
available, including the
strengthening of
alternative delivery
modes.

REGIONAL
STRATEGIES/DIRECT
IONS, 2012-2015

Putting pupils and
students in school and
keeping them in school
by reducing high leaver
rate and by providing
them quality
education.



SYNTHESIS:

Based on the regional situational
overview, policy thrust and regional
strategies/directions, it was found
out that the problem on school
leavers must be addressed in order
to come up with an intense
solutions so that the Medium-Term
Development Goal (MDG) and
Education for All (EFA) goals would
be achieved by 2015 as targeted.
To do it, each school in every
division throughout the region
must be evaluated and validated
in terms of the programs of the
department. Enrollment must be
checked because it is one factor
that affects the basic services of
the government due to budget
requirements. Quality education
can be attained if government
funds are utilized properly in the
different programs and projects.
