At the Region, Division, and School/Cluster levels of DepED, the Learning Resources Management and Development System (LRMDS) is intended to facilitate greater distribution and accessibility to learning, teaching, and professional development resources. Let’s get to know more what is LRMDS.
What Is LRMDS?
In response to the results of baseline research carried out in Divisions 6, 7, and 8 during STRIVE Phase I and II in 2007 and 2008, the Learning Resource Management and Development System (LRMDS) was created to determine the extent to which Divisions and schools have access to high-quality teaching and learning resources. The baseline surveys found a very uneven allocation of resources in the majority of subject areas (English, Science, Math, ALS, and TLE) and at all levels. The divisions sampled also differed greatly in their lack of resources.

LRMDS primary goal of the system is to offer a technical foundation for evaluating, obtaining, modifying, creating, manufacturing, and disseminating high-quality teaching and learning resources for students as well as instructional support materials for educators.
The cooperative efforts of central, regional, division, and school staff on strategies to increase access to high-quality teaching and learning resources inform the LRMDS. The successful execution of the Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA) is largely dependent on the LRMDS’s evolving design, development, and implementation. In particular Key Reform Thrust 3 – At the central, regional, and divisional levels of DepEd, the emphasis is on bringing people’s shared educational goals into line with the actual methods used in classrooms and the learning outcomes achieved by Filipino students.
LRMDS consists of four (4) parts, with two overarching themes—Quality Assurance and Access/Equity—that support and direct all project operations. These are as follows:
|
Component 1: Project Management |
Effectively, efficiently, and responsively manage the project. |
|
Component 2: School-Based Management Support System |
Creation of an effective management support structure for ongoing school improvement at the division, school, and regional levels. |
|
Component 3: Human resource Development (INSET) System |
Creation of a regional HR-INSET framework to support teachers’ high-quality professional development. |
|
Component 4: Learning Resource Management and Development System (LRMDS) |
LRMDS was developed to provide people with access to excellent educational resources. |
LRMDS’s Vision
The establishment of fully operational adaptive learning resource systems at the division and region levels, which efficiently create and disseminate sufficient and diverse learning materials to educators and students from both the official Alternative Learning and Basic Education systems.

LRDMS Framework
To enhance access to learning, teaching, and professional development resources in connection with each of the LRMD systems, the Framework for LRMDS outlines what is necessary for each system at every level of the educational system. The main tasks, procedures, and workflows for quality management, in other words, and suggests organizational structures for long-term management and execution. The area has the authority to decide how the functions are delivered.
LRMDS’ Objectives
LRMDS was created to give users access to high-quality teaching and learning materials.
1. Enabled solutions for the three areas of developing ICT that are integrated with national systems to help strengthen the systems that support learning resources.
2. Improved processes for the creation and dissemination of learning resources at the divisional and regional levels.
3. Enhancement of the system of teaching and learning resources by providing assistance for the evaluation, procurement, modification, creation, manufacturing, and delivery of teaching and learning resources to educational institutions.
4. Available student learning resources (such as those from PASMEP, PROBE, PRODED, BEAM, TEEP, SEDIP, etc.) have been digitized, especially for TLE programs and early childhood reading, English, science, and math in other grades, ADM, and ALS.
5. More high-quality teaching and learning resources are available, especially in the early grades for reading and in the other grades for TLE, English, science, and math.
6. Instructional and learning materials have been improved and modified in order to adopt learning systems and alternative delivery modes.
7. The creation and application of quality assurance systems, which include monitoring and evaluation, for the supply and use of educational materials.

2 Scope of LRMDS
The LRMDS system gives users access to high-quality resources at the cluster/school, division, and regional levels, such as
• details regarding the number, caliber, and placement of textbooks and other resources, as well as cultural knowledge,
• exposure to digital learning, teaching, and professional development materials as well as the ability to find print and hard copy resources,
• guidelines, standards, and specifications for:
• delivery and publication,
• evaluating & assessing ,
• maintenance and storage,
• development, production and, modification, and;
• acquiring & harvesting.
For every system and at every level, a quality assurance system that includes ongoing monitoring and evaluation will be put in place to guarantee greater access to and use of pertinent and enhanced teaching and learning materials.
Only DepED-accredited institutions, approved DepED offices (CO, DO, RO), and affiliated entities are permitted access to LRMDS.

LRMDS Available Resources
The LRMDS is an online catalog and repository for resources related to professional development, education, and learning. It serves the purpose of a clearinghouse. In other words, the LRMDS gives users access to directly digitized versions of materials that are published and kept in the LRMDS repository, as well as information on where hardcopy and softcopy resources are located. In order to meet specified local educational needs, it also serves as a quality assurance system that assists DepED Regions, Divisions, and Schools in choosing and acquiring high-quality digital and conventional materials.
Types of resources:
1. (PDMs) Professional Development Materials – these are any educational resources or programs, whether digital or not, created for the intention of training and development. LRs and TRs may be included in or referenced by such programs.
2. (LRs) Learning Resources – these are any educational materials with a learning objective, whether they are digital or not. These materials can be utilized directly by students or incorporated into lesson plans created by teachers.
3. (TRs) Teaching Resources – these are any educational materials, whether digital or analog, that help instructors with pedagogy, curriculum development, and delivery, or teacher trainers with professional development programs.
The PDMs LRs, and TRs can be obtained straight from the online repository and/or the system communicates availability.
Information about people who can be reached to promote teaching and learning of local culture through oral traditions, storytelling, and indigenous language proficiency may also be found in the LRMDS database.
High-quality resources from the Regions, Divisions, Cluster/School level are accessible through the LRMDS, including;
- Access to digital resources for professional development, education, and learning, as well as the ability to find print and hard copy resources,
- Quality assurance system, it assists DepED Regions, Divisions, and Schools in choosing and acquiring high-quality digital and non-digital resources to meet identified local educational needs.
- Guidelines, requirements, and standards for resource development, enhancement, harvesting, acquisition, and production
- Details about the number, caliber, and placement of textbooks and other resources, as well as cultural knowledge.
