SHS Preparations 3

Methods of Data Analysis

1. Data collection from clusters 1 to 5 • All regions except ARMM

2. Consolidation of Total per Region• Total cohorts• Percentage of students to be absorbed by DepEd

schools• List of schools, slots per school• Program tracks/strands offered per school• Resource requirements (Classrooms, Teachers)

3. National Summary of the 16 Regions

4. Hypothesized vs. actual ratio for tracks and strands

SHS Preparations 4

Assumptions

• Sum of two cohorts is based on SY 2013 EBEIS data for Grades 7 and 8;

• No attrition in enrollment for 2 cohorts;

• Preferred number of learners in a classroom (and subsequently, section) is 40

• There should be at least 6 sections to fully load 9 teachers

SHS Preparations 7

What do these data tell us?

• 68.96% of learners from the two cohorts will be absorbed by DepEd SHS

• 31.04% of learners from the two cohorts may be absorbed by Non-DepEd providers (i.e. private HS and HEIs, SUCs and LUCs, TVIs)

SHS Preparations 11

Issues and Concerns

1. Curriculum • Is there a standard parameter in classifying

schools as Urban-Rural-Remote?• What are the bases in determining program

offerings in SHS?• How are students enrolled in the Open HS

Program, other ADMs, and ALS catered in SHS?

• How will SPED students be accommodated in SHS?

SHS Preparations 12

Issues and Concerns

2. Teachers • What are the criteria in hiring and ranking

SHS teacher applicants?• Will a JHS teacher or teacher from an HEI

carry his/her item along when transferring to SHS?

• How do we employ specialized teachers who are non-LET passers?

• What is the entry level salary grade of SHS teachers?

SHS Preparations 13

Issues and Concerns

3. TA/Supervision per strand and specialization in every SDO

4. Need for more guidance counselors for career advocacy

5. SHS assessment

6. Textbook printing and procurement concerns

7. Communication plan for SHS

8. Voucher program guidelines and policy for SUCs/LUCs

SHS Preparations 14

Issues and Concerns

9. Partnership guidelines and MOA templates

10. Guidelines/policy on work immersion

11. Guidelines/policy on school demolition, transfer, and building of stand-alone for SHS

12. Policy on use of non-DepEd spaces for SHS

13. Possible amendments in prescribed building designs for those with limited spaces

14. Guidelines for non-DepEd schools to offer SHS

SHS Preparations 15

Red Flags in SDO SHS Planning

1. Program/track offerings are solely based on students’ preferences/survey

2. Number of projected slots per track/strand is much more than the number of available slots that can be absorbed for immersion

3. Mismatch of learned competencies to needed competencies/skills of identified industries for immersion

SHS Preparations 16

Examples of Red Flag SDOs(Require relatively more TA and guidance)

1. Quezon City, Manila, Paranaqueo Difficulty placing incoming students given their large number

and very limited spaces for building, plus big top-up amounts of non-DepEd schools

o Considering double shift for Grade 12 in several schools to solve classroom gaps

2. Vigan City – due to lack of buildable spaces and many cross-enrolees, they intend to prioritize Vigan residents

3. San Carlos City, Aklan, Antique – almost all proposed SHS contain zero slots for Academic strands

4. Bacolod, Bago City, Davao Oriental – no STEM

5. Quezon Province – very low slots for Academic strands

6. Tanauan City – predominantly GAS and TVL, very low STEM allocation

SHS Preparations 17

Red Flags during the Workshops

1. Data • Use of 2013 EBEIS data because there was no 2014

EBEIS data yet• Schools that didn’t pass Condition C (population and

buildable space) but will offer SHS with no justification2. Program/track distribution

• Far from hypothesized ratio• Incomplete Academic track in a municipality or city SDOs

(e.g. no STEM, no HUMSS)• Remote school but will not offer SHS• Low STEM percentage

3. Behavioral red flagso Insensitive remarkso Sexist remarkso Resistant to changeo Unfocused Participants

SHS Preparations 18

Green Flags during the Workshops

1. Well-prepared Internal and External Assessments and clustering plans

2. Participative, open to suggestions and corrections

3. Receptive to information during plenary and break-out sessions 

4. Collaborative efforts among SDOs in the planning process

5. Proactive participants during the planning process (e.g. clarified details with HS principals)

6. Clear direction setting by the Region

7. Visible presence and support of the RO
