The document discusses the Multigrade Program in Philippine Education (MPPE). It describes the MPPE as contributing to democratizing access to education in 19% of public elementary schools since 1993. A 2017 review found that MPPE implementation generally complied with standards, but flexibility is needed due to local contexts. The review also identified factors like innovative teaching, parental involvement, and teacher commitment as contributing to MPPE goals, while inadequate support and monitoring present challenges. The MPPE was found to help student learning and provide a practical solution to access issues in remote areas.

Hi! I am Ma’am Celeste. I will be your guide in answering this


self-learning module. This week’s lesson is about the Multigrade
Program in Philippine Education (MPPE). Come on! Let’s learn
together!

Learning Outcomes
At the end of the lesson, you are expected to:
 Describe the effectiveness of Multigrade Program in Philippine Education (MPPE)

LESSON 12: Multigrade Program in Philippine Education (MPPE)

Let’s Read and Understand


 Since 1993, the Multigrade Program in Philippine Education (MPPE) has significantly
contributed to the Department of Education’s (DepEd) need to democratize access to
education while ensuring its quality in around 19% of public elementary schools
in isolated, underserved, and sparsely populated communities in the Philippines.
 In 2016, DepEd instituted its Basic Education National Research Agenda which identified
the review of the MPPE as a research priority to determine if it is serving its intended
purposes and to inform decisions for policy formulation and programme improvement.
 As a response, under a tripartite agreement established in 2017, SEAMEO INNOTECH
worked with UNICEF and DepEd to identify key steps in advancing the implementation
of MPPE. One of the components of the collaboration involves a program review to present
the overall status of the MPPE as a modality of delivering basic education.
 The review was undertaken to accomplish four specific objectives:
1. To assess how well the MPPE was implemented in line with existing standards
and policies of DepEd
2. To identify factors that contribute and hinder in achieving the goals of MPPE
3. To describe the contribution of the Multigrade program to student learning and
school quality
4. To examine the role of the program in improving access to quality education in
disadvantaged school communities
 Through a series of focus group discussions, national survey of multigrade schools and
schools divisions, case studies, comparative analysis, and documentary analysis, the study
shows that the MPPE implementation was generally compliant with existing
standards and policies.
 However, the extent to which multigrade schools complied with these policies vary due to
the local context and experiences of multigrade schools. A more flexible policy
seems to be necessary to cater the unique conditions of the communities where the
multigrade program is implemented.

 In terms of factors affecting the achievement of MPPE goals, innovative instructional


strategies, authentic assessments, parental and community engagement, the strong
commitment of multigrade teachers, and enabling school leadership were recognized as
contributing factors.
 On the other hand, achieving MPPE goals is said to be constrained by inadequate
instructional support from school heads and supervisors, issues concerning
multiple roles assigned to multigrade teachers, and the absence of a responsive
monitoring and evaluation system specific for multigrade implementation.
 Amid the challenges, the multigrade program proved its contribution to student learning.
Through the comparison of learners’ results in various assessment tests, multigrade
learners are seen to be performing at par with learners in a single grade
classroom setting. Even outperforming some monograde learners in assessment tests for
language, mathematics, and social studies.
 The multigrade program was seen as a practical solution to address barriers to education
such as access and inclusion. It is a reasonable learning delivery especially in remote,
isolated, low-resourced, and underserved communities as teachers provide different but
appropriate activities to the learners based on their individual developmental level. This
allows teachers to empower and engage the learners by providing multiple ways to learn.
 While the multigrade program has been proven as an effective learning delivery mode, there
are still a lot of areas that may be improved, particularly in policies and program
implementation.
