SGOD sets things for good - Dr. Feliza D. Dellosa

The personnel and staff of the School Governance and Operations Division (SGOD) of the Schools Division Office (SDO) of DepED, Sorsogon City managed to set things, with the purpose of refocusing and strengthening effort to transform the bureaucracy into a government that works for the people as they took the positions this CY 2015.

As a start, the SGOD team intended to stand for the department’s advocacy:  “Tayo para sa Edukasyon.”  In doing this, they facilitated the conduct of PTA Summits on         K to 12 SHS Implementation in this division for five waves as proposed by Dr. Feliza D. Dellosa, the Chief Education Supervisor for SGOD and scheduled as:

DISTRICT	DATE	VENUE
Bacon East	June 25, 2015	Teachers’ Hall, Escudero Building, BECS (Bacon)
Bacon West	July 2, 2015	Teachers’ Hall, Magsaysay Building, BWCS (Balete)
Sorsogon East	July 9, 2015	Teachers’ Hall, Gabaldon Building, SECS (Burabod)
Sorsogon West	July 23, 2015	Teachers’ Hall, Gabaldon Building, SPES (Talisay)
Secondary	July 31, 2015	Teachers’ Hall, Gabaldon Building, SECS (Burabod)

The conduct of the PTA summits aimed at (1) informing the public of the salient features of the K to 12 Basic Education Program (BEP); (2) explaining the reasons why we need to implement 12 years of basic education; (3) sharing to the public the parent’s point of view on SHS implementation ; and (4) allowing the stakeholders to express commitment in promoting SHS implementation.

Relative to these PTA summits, Mr. Armand D. Engay, Education Program Specialist-II, Social Mobilization & Networking (SM &N) Section of the SGOD, also proposed and conducted the SHS implementation drive, with the SGOD team for all Grade 10 students in the division.  The team went from one secondary school to another, amidst the risk in reaching out the far flung barrios and coastal schools.  The major aim in his proposal is to guide the Grade 10 students on what track and strands to choose come  SY 2016-2017.
