Description of the Cooperating School

B. Introduction

One of the vital elements in an individual’s life is education. Aware of its

vital role in one’s life, the government launched one of its thrusts toward the

Upliftment of quality life, the “Education for All” program.

Sta. Ignacia North Central Elementary School (SINCES) is one of the schools

which is an instrument to enable children to reach their dreams and aspiration in

life. Providing good education is a tangible testimony towards the upliftment of

quality life and is vent on making the citizenry literate.

Sta. Ignacia North Central Elementary School wheels the life of the

community; aims to have progress through quality education. Joining the caravan of

DepED’s “School First Initiative”, empowering the school with its umbrella the


iii

School Based Management (SBM) will benchmark the necessary change focused in

learning to improve achievement and completion rate and to reduce dropout rate.

SINCES-Schools Based Management is the institutional expression such

change; aiming to be a high performing school.

C. History of the School

During the Spanish regime, little, if any progress has been made in education

in Sta. Ignacia. The only educative process that took place was the “Tutor System”

which was exclusively centered in memorizing the CATON or a prayer book. There

was no known organized school for the public during the Spanish regime. The period

was stage of total educational blackout among the teeming populace of Sta. Ignacia.

Mother democracy has come to rescue this generation of ours from that gloomy stage

of total illiteracy.

During the American occupation in the year 1901 after the civil government

has been established, the Philippine Commission passed Act no. 74 which created

the Department of Education for the masses. The early years of our generation were

the recipient of that early stage of our educational system at presents. In that year,

schools were opened in all municipalities throughout the Philippines. Classes were

held in crude schoolhouses.

In 1909, the Gabaldon Act was passed. Our tangible and lasting gifts from

that act was a six room dilapidated Gabaldon building. This building is now


iv


Camiling, Tarlac


considered byDepED as our Heritage Building. It is preserved through the national

fund.

Sta. Ignacia North Central Elementary School was established in 1908. When

the Gabaldon building was constructed, classes expanded into complete elementary

school.

Now the Sta. Ignacia North Central Elementary School has been “adopted”

by the Tarlac College of Agriculture as training ground for student teacher of the

said school.

The 2002 Basic Education Curriculum

The 2002 Basic Education Curriculum is a restructuring and not a

sweeping change of the elementary and secondary curricula (NESC and NSEC). This

document represents the goals of the curriculum, the rationale for its restructuring,

and its philosophy, basic features, and conceptual framework.

Legal Bases for Philippine Basic Education

The goals, objectives, structure, and content of the 2002 Curriculum are in

compliance with the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines, the 2001

Governance of Basic Education Act, and the 1982 Education Act.

The 1987 Constitution provides the basic state policies on education, both

formal and non-formal.

Article XIV, Section 1. The State shall protect and promote the right of all

citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make

such education accessible to all.

Article XIV, Section 2 (1). The State shall establish, maintain, and support a

complete, adequate, and integrated system of education relevant to the needs of the

people and society.

Article XIV, Section 2 (4). The State shall encourage nonformal, informal

and indigenous learning systems, as well as self-learning, independent, and out-of-

school study programs particularly those that respond to community needs.


xxiii


Camiling, Tarlac


Article XIV, Section 3 (2) states that the school: shall inculcate patriotism

and nationalism, foster love of humanity, respect for human rights, appreciation of

the role of national heroes in the historical development of the country, teach the

rights and duties of citizenship, strengthen ethical and spiritual values, develop moral

character and personal discipline, encourage critical and creative thinking, broaden

scientific and technological knowledge, and promote vocational efficiency.

The Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001 provides the general goal of

basic education to develop the Filipino learners by providing them basic

competencies in literacy and numeracy, critical thinking and learning skills, and

desirable values to become caring, self-reliant, productive, socially aware, patriotic,

and responsible citizens.

The Governance of Basic Education Act revisions a curriculum that shall

promote the holistic growth of the Filipino learners and enable them to acquire the

core competencies and develop the proper values. This curriculum shall be flexible

to meet the learning needs of a diverse studentry, and is relevant to their immediate

environment and social and cultural realities.

The Education Act of 1982 or Batas PambansaBlg. 232 provides the general

objectives of elementary, secondary, and nonformal education.

The objectives of Elementary Education are as follows:


xxiv


Camiling, Tarlac


1. Provide the knowledge and develop the skills, attitudes, and values essential

or personal development, a productive life, and constructive engagement with

a changing social milieu;

2. Provide learning experiences that increase the child’s awareness of and

responsiveness to the just demands of society;

3. Promote and intensify awareness of identification with, and love for our

nation and the community to which the learner belongs;

4. Promote experiences that develop the learner’s orientation to the world of

work and prepare the learner to engage in honest a gainful work.

Why do we need to restructure the curriculum?

The curriculum needs restructuring because of the following:

Global context of our education system has changed and continues to change

rapidly since the 1980’s when the NESC and the NSEC were implemented.

Our world is becoming borderless to information, commodities, financial

investments, crime, terrorism, and ecological problems.

Studies indicate that many of our learners are not attaining functional literacy

without which learners find it too difficult to meet the challenges posed by

our rapidly changing world.

Special Services of the School

Camiling, Tarlac


1. Feeding Program

Feeding is one of the programs offered by the school. It is actually the part of

the class program. After cleaning the respective areas, we the interns observe the

daily feeding time of our pupils. We observed that their foods were nutritious which

was suitable for their young age.

2. Reading Center Services

The Reading center of the school was very conducive for learning and

reading. There were many books and pictures to read and look for. It is the place

wherein our pupils can learn more, and learn among themselves.

3. Canteen Services

Another important building of the school is the canteen. Its function is to

provide the needs of the pupils and teachers, especially when they are tired, hungry

and thirsty.

4. School Clinic Services

This service gives a temporary cane into the victim or pupils who suffer an

accident. In case, some of the pupils got bruises, the clinic can give some first aid to

cure. In the school clinic there are some devices use like the weighing scale, and

Reflection on the Cooperating School


xxviii


Camiling, Tarlac


The school is the center for learning activities and Sta. Ignacia North Central

Elementary School was my cooperating school. In my twelve-week stay as a pre-

service teacher, I experienced and observed many things, people from the school are

very sincere and warm.

I can say that the school adheres not only to the subject-centered approach

but also to the learner-centered approach. The school gives emphasis not only to the

intellectual development but also to emotional and psychomotor development.

As child-friendly school, the Sta. Ignacia North Central Elementary School

promotes good health practices and behavior and also guarantees that school

premises are safe and clean. Sta. Ignacia North Central Elementary School imparts

quality learning and encourages children to participate in school and community

activities. Since Sta. Ignacia North Central Elementary School is the center eye of

the nearby school, I observed that every week, they have bunches of program and

activities and they host most of it. Teachers work closely with children’s families

and engage the support and interaction of the members of the community, and the

school and other stakeholders.

With all the realization and experiences that I have now, I owe a lot to you

SINCES!
