DepEd sets early registration on Jan. 24



OROQUIETA CITY: The education department is in its full eagerness to its Jan. 24 Early Registration Day (ERD) for School Year (SY) 2015-201, a new PIA report said.


DepEd sets the ERD for SY 2014-2015, said DepEd superintendent Dr. Jonathan Dela Peňa, to encourage parents to come out early to register their children.

This, he added, fulfills the government’s the Minimum Development Goals (MDG) and the Education for All (EFA) campaign in the province.

DepEd-MisOcc’s communication teams undertake the campaign including the registration process, while the schools in its 16 districts have been enjoined to work with parents, local officials and other stakeholders and students for support.

Dela Peňa said the DepEd in the province schools will lead the child find activities in collaboration with the barangays, and those enrolling children from indigenous and communities will be mobilized to ensure the early registration of the targeted enrollees.

Home and street visits will be conducted by the education supervisors to targeted enrollees and get the profile of the respective learners, Dela Peňa added. (PIA)
