PROJECT RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES
A “dropout” is defined as a pupil/student who has stopped
attending school before completing the prescribed level of
education within the specified school year. The dropout rate,
meanwhile, is the percentage of students who drop out from a
level of education in a given school year, including those who
transfer out to other places and those who complete the
school year but fail to enroll in the next or succeeding school
year(s). In the municipality of Tagbina, there are 171 pupils
not enrolled in elementary school and 186 students not
enrolled in secondary school as of the March 2013 data
based on the Social Welfare Indicator [SWI] gaps identified
by the DSWD who are pantawid beneficiaries.

4. DepeD – projecT
iMpleMenTaTion plan
Here are some of the factors of
droppin out based on the SWI gap
data as of March 2013, viz;
•Transfer of residence
•Not enrolled
•Stop schooling within the school
year
•Passing away or death
Hence, it is the objective of this program to
reduce or even eradicate the number PP HHs
children not enrolled in elementary and secondary
schools within the municipality of Tagbina.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In order to address the said issue on PP HHs children who are no
longer in the elementary or secondary schools as identified by
the SWI gaps data, the schools district offices will conduct first a
verification and validation of current status of the 171 pupils not
enrolled in elementary school and 186 students not enrolled in
secondary school through their respective school heads. In the
succeeding years, the DepEd - Early Registration Program which
usually occurs in every 25th
day of January will be intensified in
order to monitor as early as possible those school children who
are likely not to enroll prior to the opening of classes in June for
the next school year. After which, the following plans and
interventions will be intensified or implemented in order to
reduce, prevent and if ever eradicate the number of children who
drop from the school, viz;

SCHOOL COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE
Systemic Renewal
A continuing process of evaluating goals and
objectives related to school policies, practices, and
organizational structures as they impact a diverse
group of learners. [eg. school vision, mission, goal,
core values…]
School-Community Collaboration
When all groups in a community provide collective
support to the school, a strong infrastructure sustains
a caring supportive environment where youth can
thrive and achieve.[eg. community – linkage or
partnership, ]

SCHOOL COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE
Safe Learning Environments
A comprehensive violence prevention plan, including conflict resolution, must deal with
potential violence as well as crisis management. A safe learning environment provides
daily experiences, at all grade levels that enhance positive social attitudes and effective
interpersonal skills in all students. [eg. child – friendly school, anti-bullying, address arm
conflicts]

8. DepeD – DROpOUT pLANS
AND INTeRVeNTIONS
EARLY INTERVENTIONS
Family Engagement
Research consistently finds that family engagement has a direct, positive effect
on children's achievement and is the most accurate predictor of a student's
success in school.[eg. parents involvement in school activities, parents care for
education, parents must provide proper food and nutrition, parents must
discourage child labor, parents must refrain from vices]

9. DepeD – DROpOUT pLANS
AND INTeRVeNTIONS
EARLY INTERVENTIONS
Early Childhood Education
Birth-to-five interventions demonstrate that providing a
child additional enrichment can enhance brain
development. The most effective way to reduce the
number of children who will ultimately drop out is to
provide the best possible classroom instruction from the
beginning of their school experience through the primary
grades. [eg. intensification of kindergarten education]
Early Literacy Development
Early interventions to help low-achieving students
improve their reading and writing skills establish the
necessary foundation for effective learning in all other
subjects and prevent future academic difficulty or
failure.[eg. School Readiness Assessment, Phil-IRI,
Eight Week Curriculum, Five Words a Week, Read Two
Books a Year, Partnership in Reading Program].

AND INTeRVeNTIONS
BASIC CORE STRATEGIES
Mentoring/Tutoring
Mentoring is a one-to-one caring, supportive
relationship between a mentor and a mentee that is
based on trust. Tutoring, also a one-to-one activity
focuses on academics and is an effective practice
when addressing specific needs such as reading,
writing, or math competencies. [ eg. remedial
teaching esp. to Pupils/Students at Risk of Dropping
Out and low academic performing]
Service-Learning
Service-learning connects meaningful community service
experiences with academic learning. This teaching/learning
method promotes personal and social growth, career
development, and civic responsibility and can be a powerful
vehicle for effective school reform at all grade levels. [eg.
OPLAN-Balik Eskwela, conduct Home Visitation, encouraged
Adopt-A-School]

11. DepeD – DROpOUT pLANS
AND INTeRVeNTIONS
BASIC CORE STRATEGIES
Alternative Schooling
Alternative schooling provides potential dropouts a variety of options that can
lead to graduation, with programs paying special attention to the student's
individual social needs and academic requirements for a high school diploma.
[eg. Alternative Learning System – is a ladderized, modular non-
formal education program in the Philippines for dropouts in
elementary and secondary schools, out-of-school youths, non-
readers, working Filipinos and even senior citizens. The program has
two different schematics for conducting instruction; school-based and
community-based. On the school-based program, instructions are
conducted in school campuses while in the community-based
program, formal instruction are conducted in community halls or on
private places. Furthermore, the ALS – Literacy Mapping Program
purposely intended for the identification of the number of out of school
children in the different barangays serves also as the bases in the
conduct of this ALS program. Moreover, the ALS leraners have to
attend 10 months of school or 800 hours in the classroom. Instead of
teachers, facilitators are always present to answer any questions and
sometimes lecturers would discuss a certain module.

AND INTeRVeNTIONS
[…Alternative Learning]
After several months, in elementary, the ALS
learners will take the Accreditation and Equivalency
Test (AET). If they pass the test, they will be given a
diploma and can now enroll in secondary. , In
secondary, the ALS learners will take the
Accreditation and Equivalency Test (AET). If they
pass the test, they will be given a diploma and can
now enroll in college. Indeed, a first year high
school dropout, boxing champion, Manny Pacquiao
took and passed the (AET) under the ALS program.
He was presented a high school diploma, making
eligible to pursue college. He was then named as the
DepEd’s Ambassador for the ALS and People’s
Champ for Education. According to Education
Secretary, Jesli Lapus, “Manny is an excellent model
for all out-of-school children, youth and adults who
are determined to learn and are able to gain
functional literacy skills outside of formal schooling.”,

13. DepeD – DROpOUT pLANS
AND INTeRVeNTIONS
[…Alternative Learning]
Open High School Program (OHSP)- is a distance learning program for high school students
who are unable to attend regular classes due to physical, economic and geographical
limitations. Despite being a distance-learning program, the OHSP is still considered as a
“formal and structured” program with students' learning structured around the eight core
subjects (English, Filipino, Math, Science, Araling Panlipunan and MAPEH). Students also take
the same exams and other evaluation measures to proceed to the next year level.There are
three ways of distance learning available through the OHSP: modular, Internet-based, and
blended technology.
The Effective Alternative Secondary Education Project, or Project EASE, is a program
designed by the Department of Education and in coordination with the Southeast Asian
Ministers of Education Organization - Regional Center for Educational Innovation and
Technology (SEAMEO-Innotech). It targets regular high school students who intermittently miss
classes due to various reasons. Unlike theOpen High School Program, Project EASE is not a
total replacement for regular classes; rather it is designed for students who will only miss a part
of the school year (such as planting and harvesting season) to be able to continue their studies.
Project EASE uses a module-based approach - students are given modules for them to take
home and be able to study their lessons outside the classroom.]

[…Alternative Learning]
After-School Opportunities
Many schools provide after-school and summer
enhancement programs that eliminate
information loss and inspire interest in a variety
of areas. Such experiences are especially
important for students at risk of school failure
because these programs fill the afternoon "gap
time" with constructive and engaging activities. [
eg. Kindergarten summer class program for
incoming elementary pupils, project jump start
for incoming secondary students,etc.]

15. DepeD – DROpOUT pLANS
AND INTeRVeNTIONS
Making the Most of Instruction
Professional Development
Teachers must constantly be supported and must be provided with avenue by which they
can continue to develop and enhance their knowledge, skills and attitude for the good of the
service especially to the school children. [eg. National Competency-Based Teaching
Standard (NCBTS), Individual Plan for Professional Development (IPPD), CB –
Performance Appraisal for School Teacher (CB-PAST), Values Formation Program, Civil
Service – Refresher Course, Teacher Induction Program (TIP), other seminars/workshops.]

16. DepeD – DROpOUT pLANS
AND INTeRVeNTIONS
Making the Most of Instruction
Active Learning
Active learning embraces teaching and learning strategies that engage and
involve students in the learning process. Students find new and creative ways to
solve problems, achieve success, and become lifelong learners when educators
show them that there are different ways to learn.[eg. use varied teaching
strategies, employ Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), use of appropriate,
interactive and interesting Instructional Materials (IM’s) like those provided by
the Instructional Materials Council (IMC).]
Educational Technology
Technology offers some of the best opportunities for delivering instruction to
engage students in authentic learning, addressing multiple intelligences, and
adapting to students' learning styles. [eg. use of multi-media devices such as
Educational DVDs, PowerPoint Presentations, Downloaded YouTube Educational
Videos, Downloaded e-materials from the Learning Resource Management and
Development System (LRMDS)]

17. DepeD – DROpOUT pLANS
AND INTeRVeNTIONS
Making the Most of Instruction
Individualized Instruction
Each student has unique interests and past learning experiences.
An individualized instructional program for each student allows for
flexibility in teaching methods and motivational strategies to
consider these individual differences. [eg. Differentiated
Instruction – Training teachers in different teaching strategies to
develop the multiple intelligences of their students as well as a
recognition of their diverse learning styles brought about by
factors such as gender differences.]
Career and Technology Education (CTE)
A quality CTE program and a related guidance program are essential for all students.
School-to-work programs recognize that youth need specific skills to prepare them to
measure up to the larger demands of today's workplace. [eg. Guidance program, Gulayan sa
Paaralan Program(GPP), Industrial and Livelihood Education]
