PGMA keeps close tabs on DepEd’s teaching upgrading program
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 2008 | EDUCATION

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo visited another public school this afternoon as part of the ongoing assessment of government efforts to upgrade the teaching capabilities of teachers under the decentralization of education management program of the Department of Education (DepEd).

Her visit to the Fortune Elementary School and Fortune High School in Barangay Fortune, Marikina City is her third to a public school facility this month.

She first visited Albert Elementary School in Dapitan, Sampaloc on Jan. 16, and then Quezon City Science High School two days later.

Fresh from her visit this morning to Calamba City where she inaugurated the Balfour Beatty Overhead Transmission Line Training Center, the President arrived at the Fortune Elementary School at exactly 2:30 p.m. She was greeted by teachers and students who waved tiny flags from their classroom windows.

On hand to receive the President were Education Secretary Jesli Lapus, Marikina City Mayor Maria Lourdes C. Fernando, Rep. Marcelino Teodoro and school principal Lino P. de Guzman,

Upon her arrival, the President immediately entered the 1-A Sampaguita classroom where she observed for about 20 minutes the classroom activities conducted by English teacher Crizel Joy Vital.

The President then proceeded to the adjacent classroom and viewed the computer-assisted language teaching module conducted by Mrs. Zeny Toco through “Tell Me More” software as part of the Marikina City government’s Commitment to Fluency in English Project.

The “Tell Me More” software contains subjects on reading, writing, listening, and the English language. The Marikina Commitment to Fluency in English Project is one of the top priority programs of the city government to help improve the students’ ability to speak English inside and outside the school premises.

The Fortune Elementary school was transferred to Barangay Fortune on Dec. 11, 2002. The school boasts of 71 high and elementary teachers, three maintenance personnel, two security guards and 3,614 pupils. .

I am presently working at O.B.Montessori Center,Inc.

I remember the program that the Amb. Preciosa Soliven launched for the public schools. Its the LIFELONG LEARNING PROGRAM. It is like we are helping public schools have somewhat like a ladderized program where students will be able to develop economic independence through different programs such as agriculture, food processing and the like.

I hope that the president would be working on this project as well.

But what i know is that we are able to reach out to some areas in MIMAROPA.

keep you updated.
