During the national BE and OBE campaigns kick-off, Chief Justice Puno said World
Vision is highly honored to be considered a partner of DepEd in serving all
Filipino children.
“Our decades of collaboration between World Vision
and the Department of Education have seen millions of students achieve improved
functional literacy through equitable access to age-appropriate,
culture-sensitive and contextualized learning process,” the former Supreme
Court chief magistrate shared.
In her keynote message, DepEd Secretary Leonor
Magtolis Briones said she knows very well the contribution of World Vision for
education, for the society and for the welfare not only of the learners but
also of many Filipinos.
“Right now, ang
World Vision ay tumutulong sa atin sa ating pag shift sa edukasyon-kalidad,
yung pag punta natin sa edukalidad, dahil magbibigay sila ng advice sa atin
hinggil sa technology. Hindi lamang sa technology kundi sa health at ibang mga
bagay-bagay pa,” Secretary Briones said.
(Right now, World Vision helps us in our shift to
quality education, the edukalidad program” because they give advice about
technology, and not only about technology but also health and on other
matters.)
Chief Justice Puno invited both individuals and
organizations to support our children’s education by saying that these challenging
times call for a revitalized alliance of stakeholders as the state recognizes
the complementary roles of public and private institutions in the educational
system.
“Helping ensure the unimpeded delivery
of quality education to every student means upholding the constitution’s
provision on protecting and promoting the right
of all citizens to quality education at all levels, and on taking appropriate
steps to make such education accessible to all,” he added.
BE and OBE in
the time of pandemic
According Undersecretary Tonisito M.C. Umali, Esq. of
DepEd’s Legislative Liaison Office, External Partnerships Service and Project
Management Service, BE and OBE are annual activities of DepEd that assist
schools as they prepare for the opening of classes.
Under the new normal, stakeholders are encouraged to
donate health promotion and disease prevention equipment. Partners are likewise
encouraged to help in the information campaign and provision of learning
options.
With the joint theme of “Pagpapanatili ng Bayanihan Tungo sa Kalidad na
Edukasyon para sa Kabataan”, the campaign supports DepEd’s Basic Education
Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP), with a provision, among others, on the
adoption of various learning delivery options in light of minimum health
standards.

Education Manager Geomel P. Jetonzo said that both online and offline learning
interventions are deployed to serve thousands of students all over the country.
“Our digital education
project in partnership with Spanish foundations Telefónica and La Caixa runs
ProFuturo. We want to help propagate the DepEd Commons online learning platform
so our partner public school teachers are now undergoing self-paced online training on distant learning to help
them develop digital learning content,” explained Jetonzo.

on localized alternative delivery modes. “Academic interventions like the
Central Visayan Institute Foundation – Dynamic Learning Program shared to us by

resources,” Jetonzo added.
