Transcript
00:00The guidelines were issued by the Department of Education
00:03for the flexible teaching of a solid curriculum
00:06to address the challenges of schools.
00:10To discuss that, we will have Deputy Undersecretary for Curriculum and Teaching, Gina Gonong.
00:17Good morning, ma'am.
00:18Good morning, Ms. Susan. Good morning to all of you.
00:22Yosec, please explain what is called flexible teaching.
00:27Where will there be changes in that?
00:30Yes, Ms. Susan, in the flexible options that we gave to the schools,
00:35what I mean to say is that we gave options
00:39in the time allotment for teaching subjects.
00:42The time for teaching subjects.
00:45Before, what we gave was 45 minutes per subject.
00:50Now, schools can decide, for example,
00:54that they will give 60 minutes per learning area or per subject.
01:00For example, in English, Math, Science, and GMRC,
01:05it can be one hour, five times a week.
01:08It can also be for Education, Health, and Welfare,
01:13Music and Arts, PE, Social Studies, and Filipino.
01:17It can be four times a week.
01:20Ms. Susan, if schools still can't do that,
01:25we still give them the option of flexibility
01:29to propose other combinations.
01:33They just need to show it to their division superintendents.
01:37How will you choose the learning areas or subjects that will be taught?
01:41Will you consider the ability or weakness of the students to catch up?
01:48Yes, if they choose five times a week,
01:52the subjects that will be taught will be English, Math, Science, and GMRC.
01:59What does this mean, Yusek?
02:01Will the load of our teachers be reduced
02:04because it has been a problem for teachers for a long time,
02:07the so-called heavy workload?
02:09How will it be systematized?
02:12Yes, the teachers currently hold eight sections
02:18for 45-minute time allotments.
02:21They can hold six sections, five to six sections.
02:25Our goal here is that the students will not be left behind,
02:32but they will be able to catch up with the speed of what is being taught in the schools.
02:37That's right, Ms. Susan.
02:40Thank you so much, Adept Ed Undersecretary for Curriculum and Teaching, Gina Gonong.
02:46Good morning to you.
02:47Good morning. Thank you so much.
