Module 1: Activities

Activity #1

I believe that communication and adaptability are the 21 st century skills we need to use for our country.
Because with this skill, we can have a better connection and understanding with our students during this
pandemic. For example, using Google Classroom, Google Meet, and other applications as our new
classroom where teachers can teach their students regardless of the pandemic, they can be able to
teach us students.

Activity #2

BSE has a Curriculum Development Division which coordinates and implements research projects on
curriculum changes and innovations. There is also the Staff Development Division for the training and
development of teachers, administrators, and staff of the bureau. The Population Education Unit is
geared to provide high school students a better grasp of population related issues to enable them to
make sound and responsible decisions.

During the beginning of 2001, BSE had 12 active projects and a flagship 6-year program (SEDIP).

Adopt-a-school was a partnership between school and industry to maximize provisions of the resources
to public schools. In February 2001, this program was able to procure one thousand PCs for one
thousand facilities in sixteen regions nationwide along with provisions to train one teacher in each
facility to use and implement technology applications to learning.

Balik-Paaralan sa (Out-of-School Adults (BP-OSA, Back-to-School for Out-of-School

Adults) was another project of BSE. As of the beginning of 2001, there are 31 high
schools serving some 1,381 adult students in this project.
Government Assistance to Student and Teachers in Private Education (GASTPE) was a project utilized by
BSE. It was a contract between government and private schools that allowed students who were unable
to attend the free public secondary schools to enroll in private schools. In January 1999, there were
374,918 student beneficiaries in 1,122 participating schools for the Education Service Contracting and
162,966 recipients of Tuition Fee Supplements in 638 schools.
