Philippines: in adopting international school system By Elena B. Pacamo
Education has been a priority in the mind of our nation leaders for it is believed to be a provider of quality human resources who will contribute big to our economic status. Thus, education system are meant to be developed and improved. June-March is a school calendar that the country used to follow. However, it seems that this will be changed in 2014. This year, the issue began right after Cavite Representative Lani Mercado-Revilla filed a proposed law, changing this school calendar to SeptemberMay. Once approved, all schools in all levels, public and private alike, shall implement it. There are various reasons behind this shift. Philippines want to be at par with other countries. Most universities outside Philippines begin the school year in August,
September, or October, while the Philippines has stuck to its June-March calendar. Philippines is also sole country composing Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) which follow June-March school calendar. Through changing it, students will be in sync along with the students of neighboring countries such giving favor for exchange student programs. This is also for the reason that rainy season drops in June to September, making schooling very difficult for the students. In every act that is being pushed, there are good sides and the foe sides. Institutions and people involved should weigh both sides to arrive in an intelligent conclusion. This conclusion should be the best for it covers Philippine Education System which holds future opportunities for Filipino children.

DepEd-Tangub conducts final round of classroom evaluation for SY 2013-2014 TANGUB City, Misamis Occidental - The third and final round of evaluation of schools and classrooms has just been concluded in the public elementary and secondary schools of the Department of Education, Division of Tangub City (DepEd-Tangub). The evaluation is done to establish dignified schools for students and pupils and ensure that the classrooms are well-maintained and conducive for learning throughout School Year (SY) 2013-2014, Dr. Victoria V. Gazo, Schools Division Superintendent (SDS), said. She said DepEd-Tangub conducts three rounds of evaluation for the SY, first, at the opening, second, at the middle and third, a month before the end of the SY, on 12 complete schools of which eight are monogrades and four are multi-grades composing the Central District. Public School District Su-
pervisors (PSDS), Education Program Supervisors (EPS) and District-in-Charge of the elementary and secondary schools assigned in each district compose the evaluation team. Meanwhile, the school heads and teachers are tested and challenged on how they were going to maintain the beauty and cleanliness of the school ground, most specially, the attractiveness and uniqueness of their classrooms and offices for the whole school year. Among the criteria for the evaluation are the following: classrooms are safe for children, with proper ventilation and lighting, bulletin boards have worthwhile display of learning materials, such as posters and magazines, and schools have big spaces or lawns for vegetation. School evaluation is not new to teachers, as this has been the practice every year.
This is the moment when teachers and school heads have the chance to showcase their talents by making projects in their schools, classrooms and offices that
would eventually redound to the benefit for both internal and external stakeholders, Dr. Gazo added. (RCA/ RABaril/PIA-Misamis Occidental)
