DepEd, through the BERF, supported the implementation of 1,732 researches for FY 2020
focusing on the implementation of the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan. Amid the
pandemic, most Regional Offices, as program fund managers, had maximized their PRP
allotment by allocating most of their research funds for the implementation of research
proposals concerning distance learning. It was also noted that since most research activities
were held virtually, expenses for the conduct of research were minimal. Consequently, more
research proposals were accommodated for funding. Likewise, other research management
activities were held virtually during the pandemic (e.g., seminars, orientations, monitoring) and
initially allocated funds for these activities were utilized to fund for research implementation as
guided by DepEd Order 26, s. 2021 or the Amendment to DO 16, s. 2017.

Table 1 shows the original GAA Target relative to the printing of Learning Resources by
Region for FY 2021. This target includes printing of Kindergarten Activity Sheets and Grade
1 Activity Sheets. However, due to volume of activity sheets (AS) procured from FYs 2019 to
2020, the GAA target was not achieved. The budget for this purpose was reprogrammed for
the procurement of accessible learning materials for learners with disability (LWDs) including
the provision of other learning resources for school libraries (SL) and library hubs (LH).

Table 2 shows the reprogrammed target for the procurement of accessible materials including
the provision of learning resources for school libraries and library hubs. Below is the
breakdown:

a. Textbooks and Other Instructional Materials - 27,705

b. Procurement of Accessible Format Production Materials - 27,012
c. Procurement of Production Materials for Tactile Format LRs - 479
d. Provision of Learning Resources for School Libraries and Library Hubs - 214

The above target was revised to 28,383, 332, and 214 as a result of the final Summary of Cost
Breakdown Estimates of the projects and as approved by the Bids and Awards Committee.

However, due to the failed biddings other Accessible Format Production Materials were not
procured resulting to only 2,468 number of actual numbers of SPED materials.

Likewise, the Bureau’s focus shifted to the procurement and production of Self-Learning
Modules (SLMs), learning activity sheet, worksheets, etc. This is rooted in the current revision
of the K-12 Curriculum as well as in refocusing manpower efforts in the quality assurance and
production of learning resources needed as response for the pandemic.

Funds for learning resources from the Flexible Learning Options (FLO) Fund was mainly
downloaded to the Regions for their utilization depending on their localized/contextualized BE-
LCP. 19,067,363 learners were enrolled in modular print based on LIS, covering 16 regions,
excluding BARMM. The regions, divisions, or schools then in turn provided all learners with
paper based LRs such as Self-Learning Modules (SLMs), Learning Activity Sheets,
Worksheets etc. Online learners were provided access to electronic SLMs via DepEd Learning
Management System and DepEd Commons.

Beneficiaries. The recipient schools of this program were selected from

the list of schools in Enhanced Basic Education Information System
(EBEIS). Moreover, priority is given to non-recipient schools from the
previous project and replacement of the equipment concerns are also
being managed by the Bureau of Learning Resources - Cebu.
The project package consists of all contract packages. On the other hand,
contract packages are the number of items to be delivered in schools.
From FY 2016 to FY 2018, all recipient schools received the allotted packages in all key
stages. For FY 2019, distribution of packages is ongoing and the fund for FY 2020 was
realigned to support the implementation of BE-LCP. Thus, delivery of SME was not carried
out in FY 2020.

The school beneficiaries for FY 2021 were schools that were not recipients in the previous fiscal
years.

Learning Tools and Equipment - Technical-Vocational and

Livelihood Equipment (LTE-TVL)

Beneficiaries. The recipient schools of this program were selected from

the list of schools in Enhanced Basic Education Information System
(EBEIS) and priority is given to non-recipient schools from the previous
project and replacement of the equipment concerns are also being
managed by the Bureau of Learning Resources - Cebu. However,
Senior High Schools differ in the packages depending on their offered
TVL specializations.
The project package consists of all contract packages (by TVL specialization). On the other
hand, contract packages are the number of items to be delivered in schools.

The distribution of packages in all recipient schools from FY 2016 to FY 2019 is still ongoing.
Specifically, some schools have received initial TVL packages, and the rest are to be
delivered. Like SME, the LTE-TVL fund for FY 2020 was realigned to support BE-LCP.

For FY 2021, a total of 949 recipient schools were programmed to be provided with LTE-TVL
packages. BARMM was not part of the targeted recipients due to the implementation of the
BARMM Law. As of 31st of December 2021, 2,654 contract packages (8 contracts) were
awarded for delivery to 928 schools. The remaining 233 packages had failed bidding. There
are eight (8) contracts on-going implementation. One (1) contract already completed pre-
delivery inspection ready for tagging and delivery. The remaining seven (7) contracts are
ongoing conduct of pre-delivery inspections.

Flexible Learning Options: Alternative Learning System – Education Skills and Training
The Alternative Learning System (ALS) Integrated Education and Skills Training Program
modifies the regular ALS program by integrating Technical-Vocational Training and other skills
training. The program will utilize existing DepEd expertise, particularly from remaining
technical high schools and select Senior High Schools, and leverage partnerships with SUCs,
LGUS, private sector, and CSOs, to provide the technical-vocational and other skills training
components attuned to the demands and opportunities of the local community and the country.
The ALS Integrated Education and Skills Training Program aims to produce ALS completers
who are not only able to catch up with basic academic education but have also acquired
technical competencies suitable for immediate employment.

There is a large difference between the total target and targeted number of milk feeding
beneficiaries. The main reason is the shortened days of implementation in consideration of
the change of school year and pandemic. Thus, to utilize the budget, more learners were
accommodated as beneficiaries of the program.

Government Assistance and Subsidies

These programs aim to improve access to quality secondary education
through the government extension of financial assistance to deserving
elementary school graduates who wish to pursue secondary education
in private schools. Below are the different programs under GAS:

1. The Education Service Contracting Program (ESC) is a financial

assistance wherein subsidies called ESC grants are provided to
qualified Junior High School (JHS) – Grades 7 to 10 learners in
ESC-participating private JHSs.
2. Teachers’ Salary Subsidy (TSS) is a financial assistance wherein an annual salary
subsidy is provided to qualified teachers in ESC-participating JHSs.
3. The Senior High School Voucher Program (SHS VP) provides financial assistance to
senior high school students who enroll in non-DepEd schools that offer SHS, including
private JHSs, private higher education institutions (HEIs), state and local colleges and
universities (SUCs and LUCs), and technical-vocational institutions (TVIs).
4. The Joint Delivery Voucher Program (JDVP) optimizes TVL learning by allowing SHS
students enrolled in public schools to avail of vouchers and take their TVL
specializations in eligible partner institutions from either private or non-DepEd public
SHSs, as well as TVIs offering their desired specializations.

Education Service Contracting Program (ESC)5
A. Terms of the ESC grant
The ESC grant covers four years of junior high school starting from Grade 7. If the
grantees are enrolled in delivery modes where junior high school extends beyond four
years, the grant will only cover four years. No new ESC grants are awarded at higher
grade levels. The grants will carry-over to the next school year if the grantee is promoted
to the next grade level and enrolls in an ESC-participating JHS. No maintaining grade is
required for grantees within a school year.

The grant is terminated if a grantee does any one of the following:

 Drops out for non-health reasons in the middle of the school year;
 Does not re-enroll the following school year;
 Fails to be promoted to the next grade level or is retained at the same grade level;
 Is suspended for more than two (2) weeks, dismissed, or expelled by the school
for disciplinary reasons; or
 Transfers to a non-ESC-participating JHS
Transfers to another ESC-participating JHS are allowed. In cases when the applicable
subsidy amount of the releasing school is different from that of the accepting school, the
accepting school will be paid the lower of the two applicable subsidy amounts.
Grantees who drop out due to prolonged illness, accident, force majeure, or death of a
parent or guardian may be reinstated in the ESC program, provided they submit relevant
documents to PEAC. The documents to be submitted are to support their claim i.e., for
illness, a medical certificate issued by a licensed medical doctor.

B. Slot allocations
Slot allocations represent the maximum number of grantees ESC-participating JHSs can
accept in Grade 7 in the coming school year. Allocations are based on the capacity of
schools to consider grantees (fixed slots), with more slots awarded for demonstrated quality
(incentive slots).
1. Fixed slots
a. The maximum allocation for new participating schools is fifty (50) slots
b. The minimum slots for currently participating schools of good standing is equal
to the number of billed Grade 7 grantees in the previous school year. A school
is considered in good standing when all the following are met:
 It has passed the latest recertification;
 It has no adverse findings in its past monitoring visits;
 It has no sanctions or penalties.

2. Incentive slots
ESC-participating JHSs that rate 3.0 or higher in their last certification or are
accredited by any member of the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the
Philippines (FAAP) are awarded incentive slots as follows:

The total slots allocated to a school each year is the sum of its fixed and incentive
slots.
3. Additional Slots
a. Only ESC-participating JHSs of good standing may apply for additional slots.
All requests for additional slots shall be coursed through the ESC Information
Management System (IMS) school panel. PEAC shall process and evaluate
the requests and submit to DepEd for approval.
b. The provision of additional slots shall depend on the availability of program
funds.

A. Selecting grantees
ESC-participating JHS shall give priority to graduates of public elementary schools.
The School Committee shall profile and assess the students considered for ESC grants
and select grantees based on need, given the limited slots allocated to the school.

B. Amounts of ESC Grants (Per student per School Year)

The table below presents the maximum ESC grant amounts. If the total school fees
declared by the ESC-participating JHS in the ESC Information Management System is
lower than the amount of the ESC grant, the school will only be paid the total school
fees.

Teachers’ Salary Subsidy (TSS) Program

A. Teacher Qualifications
Teachers in ESC-participating JHSs that meet the following conditions qualify for the
TSS and are called TSS recipients:
● Have a valid PRC license, or pass the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET);
● Be a full-time employee of the school
● Teach ESC grantees for at least 180 teaching minutes a week.

B. Amount of subsidy for TSS recipients: ₱18,000/teacher/year.

DepEd remits TSS funds to the ESC-participating JHS which must, in turn, pay its TSS
recipients. TSS recipients who have resigned or retired from service at the time the
TSS is remitted to schools shall be paid the TSS in proportion to actual services
rendered.

In implementing the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan, in response to the pandemic
brought by the COVID-19, teachers and non-teaching personnel of DepEd have been
subjected to various learning and development trainings. Trainings focused on reskilling and
upskilling DepEd’s personnel in implementing distance education and operating with a high
percentage of online modalities. Moreover, with the help of different institutions and concerned
partners, capacitating teaching and non-teaching personnel was strengthened going beyond
the knowledge and skills DepEd can transfer to its workforce. Thus, for FY 2021, a huge
increase in the number of trained individuals in the field of education was recorded which has
884,032 teaching personnel and 103,675 school leaders for a total of 1,006,163 trained
personnel.
