"Empowering Globally-Competitive and Transformative Learners: New Visayas National

High School Launches National Learning Camp Program"

In a bold stride towards fostering educational excellence and equipping the youth for the
challenges of tomorrow, the Department of Education announces the launch of the National
Learning Camp Program. Designed to ignite the flames of curiosity, critical thinking, and
collaboration, this initiative promises to be a transformative journey for students across the nation.
As education steps into a new era, this program stands as a testament to the government's
unwavering commitment to nurturing young minds and nurturing a generation of capable leaders.

The National Learning Camp Program is organized by the Department of Education to

provide students with an opportunity to enhance their skills and knowledge in the subjects of
English, Math, and Science during the summer break. The program aimed to create a supportive
and engaging learning environment that fostered academic growth and personal development
among participants. Without a doubt, this program is also created in response to the learning gaps
caused by the pandemic. The program was designed to address the challenges students faced
during remote learning and provide them with targeted support to catch up on missed concepts
and skills.

The said program spanned 5 weeks which started on July 24, 2023 and ended on August
25, 2023 with 61 participants from both grades 7 and 8. Both grade levels were grouped into 2
groups: the Enhancement Camp and Intervention Camp. The Enhancement camp is comprised of
a maximum of 35 learners while the Intervention Camp has only a maximum of 10 learners. The
national learning camp was implemented in full force by the school head and all teachers involved:
Sir Nestor J. Capina, Ma’am Gladys C. Remotigue, Ma’am Lainanie Camillo, Ma’am Rio Jane D.
Amplayo, Ma’am Janice C. Galacio, Ma’am Hannah Grace A. Balagot, Sir Kevin Mark M.
Provendido and Ma’am Ian O. Prado. The school also accepted volunteer teachers who could fully
support the implementation. Two volunteer teachers were involved; Sir Marlon. S. Balanza and
Ma’am Jennifer L. Sanchez.

In the English component of the program, students participated in a variety of activities

designed to improve their reading, writing, and communication skills. Daily reading sessions
exposed students to a diverse range of literature, encouraging critical thinking and literary
analysis. Writing workshops helped students develop their creative and expository writing abilities.
One of the highlights was the speaking competition, where students showcased their persuasive
speaking skills while discussing relevant social issues. The Math segment of the program focused
on strengthening students' mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills. Interactive math
games and puzzles engaged students and made learning math enjoyable. Small-group
discussions encouraged collaborative problem-solving, enabling students to learn from each
other's approaches. A math fair was organized at the end of the program, allowing participants to
present projects that demonstrated real-world applications of math concepts. The Science
component aimed to foster curiosity and a deeper understanding of scientific principles. Hands-on

experiments and demonstrations provided students with opportunities to explore different scientific
phenomena and concepts. The culminating event was a science exhibition, where students
showcased their own experiments and findings to their peers, teachers, and parents.

Throughout the program, students exhibited remarkable growth in their respective subjects.
Many students who initially struggled with certain topics gained confidence and proficiency through
consistent effort and the guidance of dedicated instructors. Notable improvements were observed
in students' test scores, class participation, and critical thinking skills. Additionally, students
developed stronger study habits and a passion for continued learning. The success of the National
Learning Camp was also attributed to the active involvement of parents and guardians. Regular
parent-teacher meetings were held to provide updates on their child's progress and discuss areas
for improvement. Parents appreciated the program's impact on their children's academic growth
and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to engage with their child's education.

The National Learning Camp Program proved to be a resounding success, achieving its
goal of enhancing students' skills and knowledge in English, Math, and Science. The program not
only improved academic performance but also fostered a love for learning and exploration among
participants. The positive outcomes showcased the effectiveness of dedicated educators, well-
designed activities, and an enthusiastic community of learners. The school looks forward to
continuing and expanding this program in the coming years to empower more students to excel
academically and personally.
