As of this writing, there are more than 20 million population of learners.

Sir Jonathan Diche, FB LIS admin informed through LIS Help Desk FB page that as of April 8, 2014 LIS is considered to be the biggest databank in the country as far as the learner's profile with his unique identification reference number is concerned. He attributed this success to the teachers' concerted efforts in overcoming challenges in which in return it turned into a commendable performance and outcomes.

Handling Diverse Learners

This is reality. Teachers are always confronted with the problem on how to make their pupils learn. By experience, teachers are teaching the lessons, but not their pupils. (And this is one of the common problems among my teachers in my school.)

If this is the case that the child is not learning in the manner the teachers are teaching. Therefore, the teacher must teach in the manner the child learns as pointed out by Rita Dunn (1929 - 2009), author of learning styles model.

It is pointed out that multiple intelligence is one of the greatest factors in making the child learns. Thus, diversity of learners comes to being. So as with different learning style model to handle different types of learners, too.

School Heads Secure, Protect Learners Info

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.

The different schools head of the Division of La Carlota gathered in hands-on workshop on the basic data housekeeping and implementation of learner information system for school year 2013-2014 in compliance with DepEd Order No. 33 s. 2013 issued by Department of Education (DepEd) secretary Armin A. Luistro, dated July 23, 2013.

These school heads together with their respective information and communication technology (ICT) teacher updated their school data by accessing them online using their laptop with the guided instructions from the division planning officer who handled this workshop. Some of them, however, found technical problem in doing their work for poor internet connection and unavailability links of needed school data.
