QUESTIONS (FAQs)
How were the 638 identified as
nominated schools?
The School Readiness Checklist which was first used to assess the
readiness of the schools contains indicators only. On the other
hand, the SSAT contains indicators and standards based on the
recommendations from series of consultative meetings with DOH,
WHO, UNICEF, and Child Health experts and suggestions from
DepEd concerned offices.
The School Heads (SH) shall input the data on SSAT using the
Google Forms link assigned to their region. The School Head,
prior to the accomplishment of the e-SSAT, shall conduct
consultations with key school stakeholders.
Is it required to meet all standards
under an indicator?
Yes.
Yes.
For schools that met all indicators, they shall be informed of the
scheduled monitoring visit. For schools that did not meet all
indicators, the SDOs shall continuously provide technical assistance
to meet all indicators, this is in preparation for the expanded
implementation of the face-to-face classes.
What will happen if the data of the schools that
met all indicators have been found valid?
The schools that met all indicators and have undergone data
validation shall be added to the SDO's list of schools that met
all indicators and will qualify for the pilot implementation of
the face-to-face learning modality which will be forwarded
to the Policy, Planning, and Research Division of the ROs.
What will happen if the data of the schools that
met all indicators have been found mistagged?
In the event where the SDOs find issues on the validity of data
submitted by the schools, such as indicators that are tagged as met but
are actually unmet, SDOs shall provide technical assistance to help
the schools meet the unmet indicators.
If the school has met all indicators prior to the pilot implementation
of the limited face-to-face classes, the SDO shall consider their
inclusion. In case the school was not able to meet all indicators prior
to the pilot implementation, they must continuously be provided with
technical assistance until they are ready to participate for the
expanded implementation of the face-to-face classes.
Can the schools that have not met all indicators still
participate for the pilot implementation on the
face-to-face learning modality?
For schools that did not meet indicators, the SDOs shall inform them
of their unmet indicators and shall provide technical assistance to
help them prepare for the expanded implementation of the face-to-
face learning modality. The school may only be eligible to participate
for the pilot implementation if they have undergone data validation,
and has met all indicators prior to the pilot implementation.
The SDOs shall monitor the progress of the schools and shall update
the schools' latest data in their database every two weeks after the
deadline of the SSAT.
How will the nomination for the schools that meet
all indicators proceed?
No.
