16 (PIA) – Some 1, 600 public school teachers in Negros Oriental and Siquijor
assigned in Grade 10 classes underwent a training on K-12 basic education
program organized by the Department of Education (DepEd) at Silliman
University recently.
According to SU
Information Officer Mark Garcia the mass training of teachers aims to
better prepare them for the full swing implementation of K-12 in 2016. Grade 10
is equivalent to 4th year high school in the previous educational system of the
country.
Participants are
trained on the seven learning areas namely, Science, Mathematics, English,
Filipino, Aralin Panlipunan, MAPEH (Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health)
and ESP (Edukasyong Pagkatao).
Garcia added DepEd had
tapped SU as a training institution for teachers. He also noted that the
engagement of the university with DepEd is in recognition of
Silliman's strength in basic education program and intensive preparations
for offering Senior High School (SHS) next year.
As of now, Silliman
University is the only school in Negros Oriental that offers all four tracks in
SHS curriculum which are academic, sports, arts and design,
technical–vocational and livelihood tracks. (mbcn/ral/PIA7-Negros
