Study Notes

Teacher guides and instructional materials, including reading primers, mathematics books, and numeracy manipulatives, are provided to ensure teachers know how to use evidence-based literacy and numeracy instructional materials.
School leaders are equipped to structure and manage classrooms and schools to improve learning results.

Ongoing, in-school, and in-class support is provided to help teachers implement instructional practices and models presented during training and use instructional materials effectively.

Teachers gather informal and formal data on learner progress and performance, within the context of the classroom, on a regular basis, to inform instruction and respond to student learning needs.

Extending learning beyond the school day through rich and cognitively challenging literacy and numeracy activities is crucial for greater learning gains.

The Department of Education initiated a curriculum review to ensure that the curriculum is quality, relevant, and liberating, and that it aligns with international counterparts.
The review examines the curriculum in its various phases, including intended, implemented, assessed, and achieved.
Findings from the review include a substantial number of essential learning competencies, gaps, and issues relative to standards, and recommendations to decongest the curriculum and ensure continuity and progression of skills.

The Philippines' results in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMMS) show a significant positive correlation between regional PISA reading scores and NAT English scores, and weak correlations in Math and Science.
The results highlight the need to revisit the existing curriculum and ensure that curriculum standards are benchmarked against international counterparts.
