8II. Main Thrusts, 2008-2010
- Leap frog the quality of basic education into
global standards (Basic Education Sector Reform
Agenda or BESRA) - Increase spending for basic education from all
possible sources (public national local,
private sources, ODA) - Tighten system governance to enhance school-based
management
9Leap-frogging basic education quality
- Investing more in preschool education
- Improving the quality of teaching and learning
(teacher retooling) - Improving classroom conditions (addressing
resource shortages) - Making basic education accessible and relevant to
the Filipino learners (e.g., tech-voc, GASTPE) - Promoting equity in the delivery of basic
education services (e.g., Madrasah, Special
Education, Alternative Learning) - Promoting centers of excellence in public
schools, particularly in English, science, math,
arts, sports
10Increase Basic Education spending
- Regular financing (GAA)
- Alternative financing strategies
- Adopt-a-School (Private Sector)
- Utilization of a portion of the LGUs Internal
Revenue Allotment - Securitization of a portion of the LGUs Special
Education Fund - Issuance of Patriot Bonds by NG
11Tightening system governance
- Performance-based budgeting
- System-wide quality assurance
- Accountability-focused
- Transparency in operations

16III. 3-year Financial Simulation (2008-2010)
17Underlying Assumptions
- Preschool Education
- Scenario 1 DepED will continue to be a provider
of preschool education lead role will be assumed
by National Council on ECCD - Scenario 2 Preschool is part of the basic
education ladder i.e., from K to 10 a
pre-requisite to Grade 1 (proposed bill) - Elementary Education
- Scenario 1 Class size is pegged at 45 on
double-shift system. - Scenario 2 Class size improves from 45 in 2008,
to 40 in 2009 to 35 in 2010, all on double-shift
system - Secondary Education same as elementary
- All prices used are held constant until 2010
expressed in PhP millions.
18Budget Scenarios
19Simulation Costs In million pesos
Desired Scenario Inclusion of preschool to the
basic education ladder beginning 2009, and class
sizes improve from 45 in 2008 to 40 in 2009 to 35
in 2010, all on double shift basis.
20Comparative Budgets, 2006-2008 (P000s)

29SBM Installation and Support
- Legal Bases
- RA 9155 Governance of Basic Education Act
- Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA)
- Rationale
- Schools are the community-based social
institutions that provide the most widely
available formally organized instruction, which
is expected to enable students to learn, and
thereby attain their desired educational
outcomes. If schools are to deliver better
outcomes in a sustainable manner, the key
stakeholders, within the school and the
community, must be enabled and empowered to
manage their school-level affairs so that they
continuously improve the link between their own
efforts and their collectively desired
educational outcomes. The central insight of this
reform thrust is that people most actively and
directly involved in and affected by the school
operations are the best people to improve the
quality of these schools. - Budgets

- Batas Pambansa 232. Education Act of 1982
- Republic Act 9155. Governance of Basic Education
Act - DepED Order No. 37, s. 2004 DepED Order No. 48,

opportunities to acquire TESDA certifiable
technical, vocational, industrial and other
relevant skills - Provide relevant foundation skills for higher
learning, world of work or entrepreneurship

(Government Assistance to Students and Teachers
in Private Education)
- Legal Bases
- 1987 Constitution
- Republic Act 6728 of 1989
- Republic Act 8545 of 1998
- DepED Memo No. 144, s. 2007
- DepED Order No. 37, s. 2007
- Rationale
- Secondary education is free, and must be
provided to all learners in the public schools.
However, there is limited capacity in the public
schools to accommodate all prospective enrollees.
The program is thus implemented to provide
opportunity for public school excess students to
continue their secondary education in
participating private schools by providing
financial assistance to poor but deserving
elementary school graduates. It also helps
private schools maximize use of their idle
capacity, thereby helping promote their continued
financial viability. - Budgets
