Senior High School Preparations Report

Senior High School Preparations Report DIVISION OF MALABON CITY

How do you envision SHS being implemented in your area? The city was subdivided into four community clusters based on geographic and strategic locations to ensure that Junior High School (JHS) graduates can be accommodated in any public or private schools and higher education institutions (HEIs), technical-vocational institutions (TVIs), and local university that will offer Senior High School (SHS) Program. One school annex – the Tinajeros National High School Acacia Annex – is to be established exclusively for SHS Program so as to accommodate JHS graduates from schools without the capacity to offer SHS. The Division also advocates the establishment of a School for Arts and Design and a School for Sports, with the help of the Local Government, since there are no schools/institutions in the city that can offer the said tracks.

Division of Malabon City

What are the issues and scenarios you foresee? 1. Lack of support from industries and private sectors, thereby threatening the possibility of on-the-job trainings for SHS enrollees. The idea of collaborating with the Department of Education is new to them, hence the hesitation on their part. 2. Insufficient budget from the Local School Board (LSB). Eighty-five percent (85 %) of the budget is being allocated for personnel services. 3. Support of the Department of Education for the construction of new school buildings. The Division hopes that the allocation and construction of 57 instructional & 8non-instructional rooms be done before the end of CY 2015. Division of Malabon City
