DepEd’s Strategic DirectionsThe Strategic Plan of the Department of Education (DepEd) provides that by 2022, we will have a nation-loving and competent lifelong learners able to respond to challenges and opportunities through quality, accessible, relevant and liberating K to 12 Program delivered by a modern, professional, pro-active, nimble, trusted and nurturing DepEd. Hence, the subsequent goals:
DEPED RATIONALIZATION PROGRAMThese reform areas are the key steps being undertaken by the Department towards K to 12 Basic Education Program Implementation. This represents the full service delivery of quality education for all. All these reform areas are moving forward simultaneously, and are being championed by the Executive Committee. (There is no sequencing because these are all happening parallel to each other and are all important)
All these reform areas are rooted in the philosophy of having a child- and community-centered education system (ACCESs). In everything we do, we always prioritize the learners and how we are of better service to them. Executive Order No. 366, s. 2004The EO 366 review seeks to fulfill the purposes of:
In 2006, the DepED submitted its Rationalization Plan to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) in line with EO 366. Since DBM had not yet given any feedback on the approval of the 2006 DepEd RAT plan, The new management team saw the need to review the plan vis-à-vis strategic directions and changes in the department in the past years. Thus in 2010, DepED recalled the 2006 submitted plan for further review. DBM approved the request for review and gave the following guidelines:
It is important to note that the rationalization plan is not about rationalizing the people, or lessening the no. of people in the department. Rather, the RAT plan is about rationalizing the FUNCTIONS, so that the department can focus on its core business – EDUCATION. Scope of DepEd’s Rationalization
For DepED to focus on its core business, there is a need to reiterate the goals of the DepED rationalization plan in relation to the different organization levels of the department. The goals are as follows:
THE RATIONALIZED DEPED ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURESDepEd Central Office Functions:
DepEd Regional Office Functions:
DepEd Division/District Office Functions:
DepEd School/LC Functions:
This was the result of the CMT review and analysis of RA 9155 to clarify the mandates and core functions of each level in the department. Central office – setting of policies, standards, guidelines and programs for national adoption Regional office – adopting or adapting the national policies and programs to address the context and needs of the region; ensuring that standards are being followed Division office – supervises the implementation of the set policies and programs in the schools and learning centers; provides technical support to the schools and LCs Schools/LCs – frontline services of the dept; accountable for education and learner outcomes FEATURES OF THE STRUCTURESFollowing the 5 strands, how do the DepEd structures look like after the review? The existing structure is client-based, meaning the bureaus, for example, are tasked to serve specific groups (BEE, BSE, etc.). The new structure is process-based, (curriculum, learning delivery, etc.) which allows for flexibility to adjust and accommodate changes in the future. This lessens, if not totally eliminates, the need for ad-hoc committees and task forces.
Clustering of Offices: Strands
Based from the core organizational functions, the CMT also identified the themes or strands common to all levels which became the basis for developing the org structures Curriculum and instruction – functions include development and delivery of the curriculum; development and production of learning resources to support the delivery and; development and administration of tools and processes to assess the quality and effectiveness of the curriculum Governance and ops – functions include provision of services to directly support and protect the delivery of basic education services; looking after the welfare and development of the human resource; and ensuring that organization processes, systems, structure and plantilla management are constantly reviewed and enhanced to effectively support the dept’s goals and mandate Strategic management – functions include policy development, planning, provision of ICT-enabled solutions, engaging stakeholders through partnerships and linkages; and managing the communications and public relations matters of the dept Legal and legislative affairs – <self-explanatory> Finance and administration – functions include management of finances and finance-related matters; provision of administrative services These five strands can be found in all levels whether these are done by just one office or by more than one office; usually integration of offices starts at the regional level DepEd Central Office Charts and FunctionsDepartment of Education Department of Education DepEd Regional Office Charts and FunctionsDescription of the Re-engineered Regional OfficeIt works with the local government units and educational stakeholders to develop a policy framework that reflects the needs, opportunities and aspirations of the regional community.
