duly documented with photos and narrative reports.
3. The expenses incurred by external-volunteers are not
chargeable to NETRC funds.
17. Orientation at the Division and School Levels
17
This is primarily aimed to orient all the testing staff in the NAT
administration. But due to budgetary constraints only one
representative per school is authorized to attend - either the SH or
the STC. However, a 100% attendance is imposed for the school
representative. Sanctions should be meted out for non-
attendance.
Hence, a mechanism should be devised so that all testing staff are
properly oriented; one of which is orienting all the teaching
force in the school by the SH/STC to be ready on exam day
in case there will be shortage of REs in other testing centers.
19. Guidelines in the Preparation/Submission of Enrolment Data
19
1. Enrolment data needed: Gr 3, Gr 6, 4th Yr (for NAT) and Yr 3 (for
NCAE)- no segregation; Cut-off date is July 31, 2012; Date of
Submission by DTC to NETRC – NCAE Orientation (August)
2. Use the Prescribed Standard Format in Excel. Enrolment data in other
formats (Word, PDF, JPEG file) will be returned to the DTC;
3. Private schools are NOT included in NAT-G3 except for the Private
MADARIS elementary schools;
4. Do not include in the list private schools operating without permit
5. Only those Y4 students graduating in March 2013 (with no back
subjects) will be included in the enrolment data for NAT- Y4. Fourth
Year students in Night High Schools may take the NAT as long as they
are candidates for graduation in March.
6. Group schools by municipality (CD), integrating the list of private
schools into the public schools to facilitate the delivery and retrieval of
TM’s for the NAT G6 and Y4 in every division.
20. Guidelines on the Use of School IDs
20
1. BEIS and NETRC are using similar School IDs both recognized by
the Department;
2. New schools without School IDs are given temporary ones by the
NETRC and no other sources to avoid duplication and to facilitate
allocation of test materials;
3. The School IDs issued by NETRC will be used temporarily for
future test administrations until such time BEIS issues the
permanent ID;
4. In case there are several School IDs for one school, follow the
School ID indicated in the Scannable School Header(SSH) and
check the correctness of School ID in theTMs received.
21. Guidelines on the Use of School IDs
21
5. For Schools with similar School ID.
- Use the bar coded school ID found in the school header.
6. School ID to be used
- For students who already transferred, the school ID of
the present/new school will be used.
-Schools affected by the calamities and those who are
temporarily relocated will use the same school ID.
22. Regular and Special Science Classes in the
Elementary Level and Engineering and Science
Education Program (ESEP) in the Secondary Level
22
- In elementary schools with Special Science Curriculum, assign
a separate Examination Room for those examinees in the said
classes.
- School IDs of examinees from regular and special science classes
must be the same because they belong to one school.
- Separate test results may be provided by NETRC for the special
science classes as long as examinees will “properly shade” the
identifying portion in theAS (Do you belong to a section with special
science curriculum? – Elementary Level; Do you belong to a section for
Engineering and Science Education Program (ESEP) in your school? –
Secondary Level)
23. Guidelines on the Use of
Learner Reference Number (LRN) for
Pupils/Students IN or FROM Public Schools
23
1. Use the LRN that was provided by the
Office of the Planning Service, DepED
Central Office.
2. The LRN must be reflected in each of the
examinees’AS and in Form 1.
Note: The LRN is a number of permanent nature.
25. Filling Out the Scannable School Header (SSH)
25
Data must be prepared by the STC days ahead of the exam day.
Transcribe the data in the School Header using a PENCIL
(lead# 2) during examination day.
Every variable is labeled with S if a school concern and G/Y if
a grade/year concern.
There are variables specific only for private schools (GASTPE)
and for the public schools only (CFSS, etc.)
GASTPE Grantees (for private schools only) must be specified
by year levels
-Take note of the bubbles for EVS and ECS.
26. Filling Out the School Header
26
- Nominal Counts of Data. Start filling out the last box for
ones, next box for tens, next third box from the last is for
hundreds, and so forth (zeroes have to be filled out for the
empty boxes to the left of the number). – decimal place value
system
Ex.Actual number of examinees: 203
An actual number of 94 examinees is filled out as:
Use the same School ID as prescribed by BEIS.
Take note of new features or additional information in every
set of School Header.
