Graduation Message of Education Secretary Armin Luistro

To our Dear Pupils, Parents, and Teacher of Diclum Elementary School

Greetings of Peace!

Another school year is coming to a close, signaling a start of a new chapter for most you. You’ll move on to high school, while some of you may immediately join the workforce. Whichever path that stretches out before you, you can be sure that it is a fresh one, a renewed one.

We are entering a period in the world’s history in which many in the old systems are being dismantled, gradually being replaced by newer, and hopefully, better ones. Technology, governments, businesses are fast evolving, recognizing that you, the individual, are a significant part of a bigger whole. You matter, and what you do matters.

The Philippines is no stranger to this transforming reality. More than ever, your country recognizes your role in society, government and the economy. And so we are investing heavily on you; putting our hopes in each one of you.

In education alone, we have introduced changes which aim to equip you with more relevant knowledge and skills for the new economy. The K to 12 Basic Education program is a massive upgrade of lessons, subjects and methods to ensure we are honing your gifts to maximize your potential. You are at the heart of this upgrade. In helping you grow to be the persons you are meant to be, we are helping build the nation’s future.
The fruits of these efforts will take years before they yield fruit, but they will definitely affect, with positive force, all sectors of society. You have the capacity to effect these changes. I pray that you relentlessly seek and build better lives for yourselves and for the larger community around you.

To our parents and teachers at Diclum Elementary School, I thank you for your patience and support as we undergo these radical changes. An investment is not an investment without capital. Your support and sacrifices make up the capital which would bring us to see our children lead and live in a country much transformed by your investment. Thank you!

And to all our partners in education, to our proponents in Congress, local government units, the private sectors and various non-profit organizations, you are well-aware that your generosity in sharing your resources and support will go a long way and return to you hundredfold, in one form or another. Thank you for believing in Filipino youth!

On behalf of the Republic of the Philippines, we congratulate you, our graduates of 2013!

Mabuhay ang Kabataang Pilipino!

MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Education (DepEd) will roll out a one-day early enrolment for incoming kinder and grade 1 students ahead of the usual summer enlistment in all public schools nationwide.

The education department has declared January 26, Saturday, as Early Registration Day in all public schools for school year 2013-2014 to ensure the enrolment of all students in public schools. But enrolment in kindergarten and grade 1 will be prioritized.

This follows the launch last year of DepEd's K to 12 Basic Education Program, in which all 5-year old children are required to study kindergarten.

The program requires kindergarten education as a prerequisite for admission to grade 1, but DepEd has decided to admit even those without kindergarten experience "to achieve universal participation and completion of basic education of all Filipino children."

For school year 2013-2014, those born in October 2008 or earlier shall be eligible for early enrolment in kindergarten, while those born in October 2007 or earlier, with or without kindergarten experience, shall be eligible for early enrolment in Grade 1.

Education Secretary Armin Luistro said that this initiative will enable the department "to make the necessary preparation and to address potential resource needs in time for the opening of classes in June."

The early enrolment will also be open to other levels, particularly to transferees.

Incoming grades II-IV and second to fourth year students who will study in the same school need not enrol, as they will be automatically registered in the next grade or year level. For incoming first year high school students, their elementary schools will submit their names to concerned high schools.

Out-of-school youth included

DepEd will also open the early registration for other elementary and high school levels to accommodate transferees and out-of-school youth.

The department stated that they would like to guarantee that the out-of-school youth, including street children and some members of indigenous groups, will be attending school in school year 2013-2014.

Luistro said they will be provided their preferred education delivery system, which could either be through alternative delivery mode (ADM) or alternative learning system (ALS).

“We are enlisting the assistance of local and barangay officials for the early registration of the out-of-school youth," he said. - Rappler.com
