Innovations TOWARDS BETTER ACCESS TO QUALITY basic EDUCATION

A short brief on the CFSS- ADM Experience...

Prepared by joel wayne ganibe as part of his analysis…shared only to demonstrate tools of analysis. Do not interpret anything in this presentation as “official” info from unicef or intem.

Background: Sequence of events…

The Child-Friendly School System (CFSS) was forged by a close partnership of the Department of Education and UNICEF towards fulfilling the goals of Education for All and the principles of the Convention on the Rights of Children, and ultimately, to fulfill the vision of more Filipino children enjoying their rights and having a bright future within caring and protective families and communities through the Child Friendly Movement.

Key objective of CPC5: being able to “implement national and local government capacity building to implement the CRC and to contribute to a massive mobilization in support of a CFM, at all administrative levels, and local communities and within the family.”

1999-2004 Key objective of CPC-6:“reduction of disparities among children in national and

focus areas by at least 50%” 

INTENDED OUTCOME:The Child-Friendly School System (CFSS) enriched by ADMs increases ACCESS to QUALITY basic education through an expanded network of partners and allies…

—with increased capacity to develop and effectively implement rights based policies and programmes

so that, more resources are leveraged for children (aged 6-15 y/o) in disadvantaged communities, resulting in improved education outcomes reducing disparities in education data.

To enrich the CFSS, UNICEF’s 6th Country Program for Children (CPC 6) supported two Alternative Delivery Modes (ADM) of DepEd, designed to bridge disparities in disadvantaged areas by increasing the capacities of local stakeholders (service providers, PTCA, student body, local school boards):

MISOSA (Modified In-School, Off –School Approach) implemented in 44 CFS elementary schools confronted with large enrolments and large class sizes.

E-IMPACT (enhanced Instructional Management by Parents, Community and Teachers) implemented in 19 CFS elementary schools to strengthen multi-grade teaching in small and remote schools.

already having met social marketing challenges on support for and confidence in the competencies of para-teachers, as well as the safety of alternative venues-- DepEd Order No. 19 series of 2008  prohibiting collection of any fees from school children enrolling in preschool up to Grade 4—provides a reason to “kill” the “off-school” aspect of the MISOSA. The SIMs continuetheir relevance and effectiveness in the schools however, sometimes substituting for lack of textbooks
