Course

The Bureau of Secondary Education (BSE) in close collaboration with the DepEd Regional and Division Offices is currently conducting a national survey to generate information on Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) such as course offerings and teachers qualifications among the regular secondary schools. The said survey seeks also to gather data on school resources/facilities, e.g., laboratory workshops, tools and equipment, learning materials, etc. The survey results will provide inputs in the development of a TLE Master Plan for the regular secondary schools which shall include provision of resources in the long term, teacher assessment and certification by TESDA and skills training that will be implemented by phase, starting this SY 2012. The teachers found ready to be assessed may undergo assessment before the end of this year. The rest will undergo skills training in their areas of specialization in order to prepare them for the competency assessment. Using the attached survey form and guidelines, the school heads are requested to supply the needed data. One week after its receipt, the accomplished forms shall be submitted to the Division Office through the TLE Supervisor for consolidation at the division level. The division-wide consolidated survey report shall likewise be submitted to the Regional Office for the preparation of a region-wide survey report for submission to the Bureau of Secondary Education, DepEd Complex, Meralco Avenue, Pasig City on or before November 5, 2012. For your information and appropriate action.

Technical-Vocational Unit, BSE National Survey of TLE Course Offerings and Teacher Qualifications PROPOSED GUIDELINES

I.

Rationale

The Department of Education (DepEd) is instituting an enhanced Basic Education Program through the gradual implementation of the K to 12 Program. This enhancement process is also in respond to the Education for All (EFA) and Millennium Development Goals (MDG) aimed at providing universal access to quality education and achieving full productive employment and decent work for all. This effort of DepEd is vital in producing high school graduates who are socially aware, proactive, involved in public and private affairs, adequately prepared for work or entrepreneurship or higher education, legally employable, globally competitive and responsible, productive, skilled, competent and functional graduates. One of the important key pathways under this transformation is the technical-vocational program and technology and livelihood education which are recognized as among the key measures in alleviating poverty and effective catalyst of change. In order to support these thrusts, the regular secondary schools offering techvoc/TLE subjects shall be provided with necessary interventions, including intensive training for teachers and skills assessment, etc., to prepare the schools in the efficient and effective implementation of the K to 12. II. Objectives A national survey will be conducted in all the regular secondary schools to determine their present capacities and actual requirements which will serve as bases for the prioritization and efficient scheduling of the necessary interventions. Specifically, it intends to: 1. determine the techvoc courses being offered in the regular secondary schools as areas of specialization; 2. determine the number of TLE teachers per area of specialization; 3. assess the qualifications of teachers handling techvoc/TLE subjects; 4. determine the readiness of TLE teachers to undergo competency assessment; 5. identify training requirements of teachers teaching different TLE subjects; and 6. determine the adequacy of school facilities and other resources, such as, tools and equipment, laboratory workshops and instructional materials. III. Expected Outputs/Outcome This project is expected to come up with the following information as inputs in the development of a TLE Master Plan: 1. 2. 3. 4. List and number of teachers for competency assessment List and number of teachers for skills training List of tools and equipment per area of specialization Support/interventions to be provided to the schools with no/inadequate resources

In order to support these thrusts, the regular secondary schools offering techvoc/TLE subjects shall be provided with necessary interventions, including provision of resources, intensive training for teachers and skills assessment, etc., to prepare the schools to efficiently and effectively implement the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum. II. Objectives A national survey will be conducted in all the regular secondary schools to determine their present capacities and actual requirements which will serve as bases for the prioritization and efficient scheduling of the necessary interventions. Specifically, it intends to: 1. Establish a database of a. the techvoc courses being offered in the regular secondary schools as areas of specialization; b. the qualifications of TLE teachers per area of specialization; and c. the school facilities and other resources, such as tools and equipment, laboratory workshops and instructional materials. 2. assess the qualifications of teachers handling techvoc/TLE subjects; in order to a. determine the readiness of TLE teachers to undergo competency assessment; and b. identify training requirements of teachers teaching different TLE subjects; 3. prepare a regional master plan to improve the delivery of TechVoc/TLE in secondary schools.

III. Expected Outputs/Outcome This survey is expected to come up with the following information as inputs in the development of a TLE Master Plan: 1. Course offerings in TLE 2. Adequacy of resources (hand tools, equipment, print and non print learning materials) 3. Current qualifications of teachers, readiness for competency assessment and proposed training areas 4. Support/interventions to be provided to the schools with no/inadequate resources 5. Draft schedule for teacher training, assessment and certification The survey findings will provide policy decision makers a better understanding of the TLE program in secondary schools and hopefully use the findings to provide more resources and build capacities of the school community to deliver quality TLE.
