MY REFLECTION ABOUT MOOE
MOOE means Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses. According to MOOE
Expense Code 200, this account includes travelling expenses, communication services, repair
and maintenance, transportation services, supplies and materials, water illumination and power
services, training and seminar expense. For purchase of supplies items should not exceed Php 10,
000.00 as prescribed by COA.
Its uses is to pay expenses for utilities like electric and water expenses of the school. To
procure school supplies necessary in classroom teaching of all teachers in a certain school. To
pay salaries to janitorial and security services. To use for the other mandatory expenditure except
for the procurement pf textbooks and other instructional materials and school furniture and
equipment.
It is allocated directly and released immediately by the Department of Budget and
Management (DBM) and DepEd to the field offices (elementary/secondary school and schools
division offices.
Secretary of education Armin A, Luistro said DepEd and the Department of Budget and
Management both agreed to adopt a refined formula for setting the MOOE budget of public
schools, which take into account not only the number of students in a school, but also the number
of classrooms and teachers. The new formula is more responsive to the requirements for
improves classroom instruction and better school management. The increase in MOOE comes
together with the governments classroom construction program and its massive teacher hiring
program, which are part of the governments thrust to improve conditions in public schools and
upgrade the quality of education.
Luistro explained that the administration of the Department is best seen in how the
schools are managed on a daily basis, thus, the principals are given funds to empower them to
maintain the schools well. By increasing the MOOE, our schools can be well trained so that it
becomes the proud center of the locality, he said.
The secretary also enjoined principals to monitor and demand the release of the MOOE
funds to their schools by the Division Offices. The amount of MOOE per school will be
published in the Department of Educations website. The department also encourage parents,
communities and other stakeholders to monitor the utilization of these funds to help ensure that
these goes to the most critical priorities of the school.
In our school, we are so blessed that we have a principal who is do dedicated, sincere and
committed to his work.
We have Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) headed by our school president and
principal. We have also canvasser, a secretarial, inspectorate, treasurer and BAC Members. All of
us joint together to work for the good of our school with the proper use of our MOOE.
