For its second year, the implementation of the National Learning Camp (NLC) will be intensified at the local level by the 27 elementary and secondary city schools in Pasay City through quality-assured, fun-filled and productive operations from July 1 to 19.
The intensification of the implementation purports to contribute to the commitment of the Department of Education (DepEd) to the National Learning Recovery Program (NLRP) which aims to close learning gaps and assist K to 12 learners in all schools in the country, elementary and secondary levels, in attaining learning standards.
The city schools renewed their commitment as they conducted the initial orientation on NLC Year 2 implementation for key school officials and program school focal persons on May 2, and the Online Division-Based Capacity Building of Teachers in Grades 1 and 3 in the Elementary Level, and Grades 7-10 Teachers in English, Science and Mathematics in the Secondary Level, on May 31. 651 school key officials and teacher-volunteers for the program attended this capacity building activity.
Aside from orientation and capacity building of key school officials and teachers, for pre-implementation activities of the program, the schools have accomplished on May 11-30 the profiling of learner-participants per camp per learning area based on results of learners’ pre-assessment, identification of teacher-volunteers, drafting of class programs and sequence of activities, preparation of advocacy materials and compilation and curation of relevant teaching resources.
All schools are also expected to develop the camp sites before the Grand Launch and first day of the program implementation on July 1.
For this year, the Schools Division of Pasay will focus on learners who are identified to be at the “Consolidation” and “Intervention” Camps. This will make teachers more concentrated on providing learners who are at the “Consolidation” Camp further practice on and application of previously taught competencies. Likewise, teachers will also have more of their attention to support “Intervention” learners who are yet to grasp foundational skills in Mathematics and English.
The Division Education Program Supervisors (EPSs) in English, Filipino, Mathematics and Science, and Public Schools District Supervisors (PSDSs) are tasked to be at the forefront of the progress monitoring and mid-implementation review of the NLC program. (LFT)
