THE Revised K to 12 curriculum in the Philippines, also known as the MATATAG Curriculum, aims to produce competent, job-ready, where students can focus on essential skills like language, literacy, numeracy, and good manners. (DepEd Order 10, s. 2024 Policy Guidelines of the K to 10 MATATAG Curriculum). DepEd prepared series of activities for the capability building program for close to 10,000 Grades 2,3,5 and 8 teachers. The activities are expected to impart new knowledge, fresh strategies, and teaching tools in the implementation of the Revised K to 12 Curriculum.
Dr. Carmela C. Oracion, DepEd Assistant Secretary in her inspirational message, shared the story of the “Two Wolves”, and gave a challenge on, “which wolf you wanted to feed each day”? Dr. Oracion expressed that motivated and encouraged teachers can change the course of the child’s life. She expects that after the training program, the teachers, and school leaders will apply what they’ll learn from the training program.
The training programs are divided into four phases: phase 1-training of core faculty, held in Baguio City last May 15-17, 2025; phase 2-expansion of core training (Batch 2) on May 23-25, 2025 to be held in Cebu City; phase 3-training of teachers on June 14-13, 2025 (any 3 days) c/o schools division offices; and phase 4-training of school leaders on July 15-31, 2025 c/o region offices.
DepEd SDO Bohol is fortunate to send five members of the core faculty trained in Baguio City. The following were the representatives from SDO Bohol: Joey D. Jabonete, Maureen L. Morascallo, Clemente P. Intong, Ma. Maya V. Tumalon, and Jupiter I. Maboloc.
The participants during the training program for the core faculty showed renewed passion, commitment, and capability. They promise to dream and work together to achieve dreams of the Department of Education.
