DepEd bats for stakeholders support for the Success of Early Registration Day

To ensure the success of the Early Registration Day for pre-scholers or kindergartens, grade one and first year high school pupils and students, schools nationwide are enjoined to work with parents, local barangay officials, other stakeholders, pupils and students for support.

DepEd by virtue of DepEd Order No. 2, s. 2011, declares January 29 as Early Registration Day in public schools with the theme “Makapag-aral ay Karapatan Mo, Magpalista Ngayong Enero,”  primarily aimed at achieving universal participation in basic education.

The program sets four major objectives thus seeking the assistance of all stakeholders from parents and local officials from the barangay level onwards.  These include  reaching out all 5 and 6-year olds children and ensure their enrolment next SY 2011-2012, to guarantee the enrollment of all prospective grade six graduates in their preferred high schools, to anticipate potential resource needs in time for the opening of classes on June, and the last, to support schools in their efforts of providing education intervention to prevent children and youth from dropping out from school.

Parents and Barangay Councils nationwide could help not only in information dessimination campaign but more importantly in providing schools correct data and helping them identify, find and encourages all school-age populace to be in school.
