DepEd prepares teachers for K to 12

In preparation for the adoption of the new curriculum under the K to 12 program, the Department of Education is conducting the Test of English Proficiency for Teachers (TEPT) and Process Skills Test (PST) in Science and Math to all Grades 1 and 2 public school teachers nationwide.

The tests, according to Education Secretary Br. Armin A. Luistro FSC, are part of DepEd’s assessment on the capability of public school teachers to teach the new curriculum under the K to 12 program.

DepEd names new assistant secretary

Expanded early school registration set on January 28

No one left behind. Everybody goes to school.

This is the goal set by the Department of Education as it declares January 28, 2012 as early registration day for School Year (S.Y.) 2012-2013 in all public elementary and secondary schools nationwide.

Last year, the early registration covered only kindergarten which jumpstarted the K to 12 basic education reform program, as well as Grade 1 pupils and First Year high school students. This year, DepEd has expanded the target of early registration to include out-of school children (OSC) and out-of school youth (OSY), and learners with disability.
