Feature: The Secret and Success of Pandakan PS

By Alfhadar Pajiji, Executive Assistant III, Office of the Regional Secretary

I discovered many amazing things in Sulu when I had the chance to visit my hometown Jolo last week to attend and observe the SPAAM 2014 (Sulu Provincial Athletics Association Meet). One story that struck me most is about the Pandakan Primary School in the Municipality of Panglima Estino.

Pandakan Primary has around 150 pupils. It has only 5 teachers (3 with permanent status and the other 2 are volunteer teachers) teaching multigrade up to Grade 5.

Despite the odds, during their district meets, Pandakan Primary bested the other "big" schools of Panamao District which have an average of 800 pupils and more than 20 teachers. They excelled greatly both in athletics and academics that even though it had no participant in the Grade 6 category, Pandakan Primary was still able to bag the District Over-All Championship.

I was so intrigued about the story that I told the District Supervisor Ma'am Samha to arrange a meeting with the teachers of Pandakan Primary School. Unfortunately, Ma'am Samha had instructed them to accompany the district delegation back to their district so I was not able to meet them.

According to Ma'am Samha the 3 young male teachers were hired during Mujiv Hataman's administration. Under the stewardship of the young teachers headed by "Tuan Dani", the school's TIC, Pandakan Primary's performance continue to amaze everyone in the district. One of their secrets? Special classes even on Saturdays and Sundays!

At the closing ceremony of the SPAAM 2014, I told everyone about the story of Pandakan Primary- a feat that has not happen in the history of DepEd-ARMM. I said RS Jamar Kulayan together with RG Mujiv Hataman had recently organized trips for supervisors and mayors to places like Saranggani Province, which had remarkably improved their education indicators, to learn about their experience on how best to improve education performance and indicators in the ARMM provinces. I think and said it loud that it is about time to bring them all to Sulu and learn about the Pandakan Primary experience.

Note: At the SPAAM Closing Program, Ma'am Pilar Dumalanta, my former elementary teacher whom I picked as my "Tribute to my Teacher" recipient and now Sulu Division EPS had confirmed to me that Panamao District is now back in the academics. The contestant for the Grade 5 category from Pandakan Primary got the third place at the division level.

Feature: Opportunity to grow and make a difference

By High School teachers Amina Hadjirul Jalad (Master of Arts in Education major in English Language Teaching) and Benhar Saridol Muksan (Master of Arts in Education major in Mathematics Education) who are currently on study leave at Bukidnon State University

Since becoming teachers at Pangutaran National High School in Sulu, we have embraced daily classroom interaction as an opportunity to guide and influence our students. Like their parents, we want them to realize their full potential, to become good men and women in the community and to contribute to the welfare of their family and society at large.

However, we also yearn to grow professionally, to deepen our academic knowledge and keep up with emerging trends in our subject of specialization. We are grateful to our immediate head Dr Amar Taludjog who share our yearning and actively seek opportunities for professional growth for his teachers. It is on this premise that we were endorsed for a one year study leave with pay at Bukidnon State University, Malaybalay City (Note: Amina pursued Master of Arts in Education major in English Language Teaching and Benhar pursued Master of Arts in Education major in Mathematics Education).

We are encouraged by the current ARMM reform. Finally, a group of Moro leaders is taking a strong stance against that which ails our education system and moving forward to build strong foundations for regional education that is accessible, equitable and quality-driven. Within DepEd-ARMM it is heartening to see our records being rectified and updated leading to the resolution of the decades-old non-remittance mess. What we thought were impossible then is happening now. The idealism of the current leadership is motivating us to grow professionally and there is this eagerness within us to go back as soon as possible and join the bandwagon of reform by giving our share, i.e. teaching our students better and with passion. 

We are not hindered by what we do not have. At school we may not have all the facilities and materials that we want, but we believe we can maximize whatever we have. We believe our best resource is our selves. We are doing good then, we now believe we can do better with what we have learned at the University - new knowledge and skills in our respective field of specialization.

The K to 12 curriculum brings the hope of better education. One motivation for pursuing our specialization is for our school to be able to offer senior high school program in our municipality. Master's degree in particular specialization is a teacher requirement under this program. We sacrifice to be away from our families and school for a year but we know the return will be greater especially in positioning our school to be the catalyst of change in our area. Pangutaran is an island municipality floating on Sulu Sea. If we can make senior high school available, many of our youth will be able to complete basic education right in their own community. The availability of this senior high in our community will be a big boast to financially-constrained parents.

We are thankful to all who have made this scholarship possible for us as we are grateful to Allah for opportunity to grow, to become, to be better, not only for ourselves, but also for others and for our community.

BPI: ARMM to introduce four special programs in 23 public high schools

Zamboanga City (20 August 2014) – The Department of Education in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao will pilot four special programs in 23 public secondary schools in the region this school year to help students develop skills in journalism, arts, sports and foreign language.

Noor Saada, DepEd-ARMM assistant secretary for programs, said the special programs are geared for students with different learning styles to express themselves.

He said it will also help reduce the number of drop-outs as students who are otherwise bored with the regular secondary program will have other additional motivations to finish school and pursue their interest.

DepEd-ARMM is working with ARMM’s Bureau of Public Information, Bureau on Cultural Heritage, Regional Sports Coordinating Office and the Bureau of Madaris Education in the implementation of the program.

School heads and teachers who will handle the programs attended a three-day orientation on 12-14 August that included enrichment activities provided by resource persons from DepEd-ARMM’s partner agencies.

“They also planned how this program will take shape or will be implemented in their schools in terms of classroom management, school operation, division technical assistance and regional policy and resource support,” Saada said.

He said the special programs will be introduced to classes of 35 Grade 7 students who will exhibit inclination or interest in the selected skills.

ARMM Education Secretary Jamar Kulayan said they are committed to provide policy and resource support to the schools where the programs will be piloted. (Bureau of Public Information)

BEAM-ARMM hands over dressmaking tools & equipment in South Upi, Maguindanao

On Wednesday, 13 August 2014, the Australian Government through the Basic Education Assistance for Muslim Mindanao (BEAM-ARMM) and implemented through DepED-ARMM, handed over dressmaking tools and equipment to Pilar Integrated Technical Vocational High School (PITVHS) in South Upi, Maguindanao. The tools and equipment included 25 units of household sewing machines, five units of high speed sewing machines, flat irons, among others.

Judy Ann Lozada, 17, a fourth-year high school student at PITVHS, was thrilled when she learned about the assistance to their school. “Malayo ang barangay namin sa kabihasnan pero nakarating dito sa amin ang tulong mula sa BEAM-ARMM (Our barangay is in a far-flung area and I cannot believe BEAM-ARMM reached out to us),” she said. Barangay Pilar is located in the outskirts of Maguindanao province, about 2-3 hours away from Cotabato City. While a provincial road passes through the barangay, commuters must traverse a long stretch of dirt road in and out of the area which worsens travel during rainy season. “We are so grateful,” she said excitedly, eager to hone her skills in dressmaking and tailoring.

DepED-ARMM Regional Technology and Livelihood Education Coordinator Corazon Maguate, who was also at the handover, stressed that the techvoc program’s main objective in South Upi is to provide its high school students the opportunity to acquire a TESDA National Certificate (NC) at the community level. “You don’t need to go to Cotabato City or somewhere else just to earn TESDA certificates since you already have a techvoc school in your municipality,” said Maguate.

PITVHS is one of 23 senior high schools assisted through improved curricula and increased competence of teachers. Barangay Pilar in South Upi, Maguindanao is host to three major tribal groups: the T’duray, the indigenous people of the area; the Maguindanaons or the Moro group; and the Christian-settlers. South Upi Mayor Abdullah Campong said during the handover ceremony that the dressmaking tools and equipment “will make a huge impact on their youth.” “I will ensure that the tri-people of South Upi will benefit from this program,” he said, adding that PITVHS will become the center of the town’s techvoc programs and projects. In his speech, Campong shared that the tri-people of the town live harmoniously, “thanks to the Australian Government, this project will further strengthen the ties of my people” he concluded.

Through June 2015, BEAM-ARMM is providing 15,000 OSYs and senior high school students with market sensitive and inclusive technical vocational education, training and skills throughout ARMM where there are high concentrations of unemployed and underemployed youth.

BEAM-ARMM is a comprehensive education and youth development program that enables children and youth in Muslim Mindanao to develop and reach their potential. The Program delivers accessible and healthy learning facilities, quality teachers, learning materials, and a protective environment for children in need and out of school youth, through effective, transparent and accountable management systems. The Program contributes to the alleviation of poverty in ARMM and, in the longer term, to the emergence of sustainable peace through closely targeted investments in basic education that prepare ARMM to engage productively with economic opportunities.

DepEd-ARMM orients new schools for the arts, sports, journalism and foreign languages

In this the 3-day this event, the target schools were recently oriented about the program “why”, “how” and “what” based from the national guides contextualized to the ARMM setting. They also plan how this program will take shape or will be implemented in their schools in terms of classroom management, school operation, division technical assistance and regional policy and resource support. They have had assessed their capacity and what is needed to implement the program properly, in terms of program equipment and facilities, ICT needs, school head and teacher qualification and training program, and assessment requirement. The breakout sessions were facilitated by Regional Coordinators Bernard Libetario, Kamil Alongan, Helen Piol and Supervisor Saada Tubing.
