3. On the provision of quality education and learning outcomes. The low NAT results
during the last three years need to be addressed to improve the gaps on quality
education. The SDO has made interventions to improve the education quality such as
the conduct of field visits and validation of actual teaching and learning situations,
assessment of learning outcomes, the development of information and media literacy
skills by teachers and learners, and the development of quality and contextualized
learning resources.
4. On learners’ resiliency and well-being. It is anticipated that there is an effect to the
learners on the transition of the new normal of education due to the economic, social,
mental, and psychological impact of the pandemic to their families. The SDO shall
focus in providing support to the mental, physical, and socio-emotional needs of
learners; responding to disasters; and increasing awareness on children’s rights.

Prior to finalization of the DEDP, writing, validation, and review of several drafts went
through the DPC. A conference was done to ensure that all units and offices of the SDO are
made aware of the strategies and targets articulated in the plan. From this point, the
development of annual operational plans and work & financial plans were made by the
unit/office heads.

This DEDP has also included a monitoring and evaluation mechanism in order to guide the
schools division in evaluating the results and progress of implementation of the DEDP. The
outcome indicators are likewise aligned with the minimum required performance indicators
being monitored by the DepEd regional and central office.

This DEDP shall be the basis of the schools division in crafting its Mid-Term Development
Plan, Work and Financial Plans, and other operational plans. It shall also be the plan that will
guide the schools in crafting their School Improvement Plans.
