School heads in the Division of La Carlota City have worked out for securing and protecting their learners data in an online workshop conducted by the Division planning officer.

Legal Basis
It was sometime in September 2012 wherein the LIS was implemented in government schools and community learning centers (CLCs). And also the issuance of a unique Learner Reference Number (LRN) to learners enrolled in public schools and Alternative Learning System (ALS). In so doing, a centralized "Learner Registry" is realized for easy tracking and decision-making on learners at different aspects of Department of Education management.
How It Is Done
This brief online workshop on learners data housekeeping requires the following basic information about the learner, such as: enrolment date, mother's maiden name, father's name, ethnicity, disability, and balik-aral.
Enrolment date should indicate the date when the learner first reported to class for a certain school year. Ethnicity is referred to the ethnic group to which a learner who is an indigenous people (by definition in IPRA Chapter 11, Section 3) by self-ascription and ascription by others. Disability specifies a learner's disability based on medical certification or by the teacher's observation. And Balik-aral is an indicator to identify a learner enrolled in the current school year, finished a grade level and stopped schooling after a year or more.

Can anyone be a "learner"? No age limit or background verification to enter?
ReplyDeleteThere is a program that says EFA,meaning education for all. It has no age limit as long as the learner has not yet completed his basic education. In public school, there is no need for background investigation or verification as long as the person is willing to go to school.
DeleteI see. I can somewhat relate because we have designed and developed a program (e-assessment for learners who want to continue studying) for BALS (Bureau of Alternative Learning System) of DepEd. The exam is for advancing to elem/high school.
DeleteI think with the learner info, there's a better monitoring of the progress of the students.
ReplyDeleteThis is good news for both teachers and learners. I hope every school in this country can employ this kind of program to make learning easier for everyone.
ReplyDeletewow. good thing to know that with the online system, there would be less supervision for the needs of the learner.. less supervision but more learnings. :)
ReplyDeleteProtecting learners info are the right thing to do by school heads. Information needs to be in private.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear this. I just hope all of the school in the Philippines would comply with this new DepEd order. It will be easy for the school to monitor their students, in this way.
ReplyDeleteEveryone would benefit from this especially the students whose mission should be to learn.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good program that protects the info of learners who are enrolled in that school.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good thing. It's about time that we take things to the next level. And students are not the only ones who need to be educated with technology. Our educators also need to level up.
ReplyDeleteGood to know that public schools in the Philippines is catching up with technology. As we were so way behind from other countries.
ReplyDeleteThis is good to learn that you have already implemented an on-line system data for your learners, so it would be easy for your school to track any learners record who have enrolled there. I just hope you will finish on the specified deadline.
ReplyDeleteKudos to all of you! This is really a good act to educate and at the same time helping both parents and students to have a faster transaction in enrolling. No more hassle. No more lost files. Just keep the monitoring online to have proper guidance.
ReplyDeleteLooks like teachers are one day will no longer be using chalk and chalk boards. I think it's time to update with the mainstream.
ReplyDeleteI can relate because my mom was also a teacher when she was still here. It's nice to know about these kinds of projects. I was also involved with this before.
ReplyDeleteFor sure, this workshop has helped lots of people in La Carlota! =)
ReplyDeleteFor a teacher like me this kind of project is very important to school. More time be safe since there will be less supervision on the part of the teachers and much info to absorb for learners.
ReplyDeleteI think this has something to do with the ICT conference held at the PNU-Taft over the summer which I was invited to cover for my blog. Although I was only their to cover the launch of V-Smart (offline and online learning solution) which will be head-started by De La Salle Zobel.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good program for both learners and the teachers. Hopefully more technology improvements in the school to happen in the future.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to take a great deal from this post then you have to apply these methods to your won web site.
