DepEd Grading System: How Grades Are Computed in Philippine Schools

deped grading system explained philippines

The Department of Education (DepEd) in the Philippines has established a comprehensive grading system designed to reflect students’ academic performance, behavior, and skills holistically. This grading system is adapted by schools and adheres to the principles of fairness, transparency, and developmental progress, which are rooted in the academic growth of students. At its core, the system evaluates students on a scale where numerical indicators represent the degree of achievement across learning areas, taking into account their ability to grasp and apply learned concepts.

The criteria for grading include different key components such as Written Work, Performance Tasks, and Quarterly Assessments, each assigned a specific weightage contributing to the final grade. Grades range from 65 to 100, with descriptors from Did Not Meet Expectations ((DNM)) below 75, stepping up to Outstanding (O) for scores between 90 to 100. The computation process involves summing up all scores, converting them to percentage scores, and then using weighted averages to arrive at a Quarterly Grade. This intricate process ensures an accurate representation of the student’s learning and performance throughout the academic period.

Table of Contents

Overview

Computing grades is one of the most tedious tasks for teachers in the Philippines. The grading system designed by the Department of Education should be strictly followed as a curriculum guide. All students must meet the passing grade in order to move up and attend the next school year. So, how do teachers compute their students’ grades and assess their learning skills in all subject areas?

The progress of learners is recorded by teachers to compute their grades, from kindergarten to Grade 12. Their initial grades would be the sum of their weighted scores per component, while the quarterly grades for every learning area are recorded in the. Get an idea on the step-by-step procedure in computing grades in this simple guide.

What is the DepEd Grading System

The DepEd Grading System is used for the K to 12 Basic Education Program in the Philippines. This modular, competency-based grading system is included in the curriculum guides. The grades are computed according to the weighted raw scores from the summative assessments of the students. Every learner needs to pass the minimum grade for each learning area, which is 60 and changed to 75 in their report cards (SF9).

On the other hand, the lowest grade that may be recorded in the report card for Final Grades and Quarterly Grades is 60. The Department uses a floor grade based on these guidelines which is considered to be the lowest mark in the report card. Grade 1 to 12 students are graded based on their performance tasks, quarterly assessments, and written work. These three factors are given certain percentage weights varying from the learning area’s nature.

Generally, the DepEd Grading System serves as a framework for assessing the performance of students in the Philippines. It covers all schools nationwide and reflects the capabilities, areas for improvement, and achievements of the students. There are different facets of the grading system such as the methodology, grading scale, innovations, importance, and common questions.

Recording and Computation of Learner Progress

There is a different order or memorandum regarding the guidelines for kindergarten learners. For instance, the anecdotal records and checklists are used rather than numerical grades. These learning standards help teachers keep records through a compilation or portfolio of the output of learners including artwork, activity sheets, and writing samples.

For Grade 1 to 12 students, the grading period involves a Quarterly Assessment including some Written Work in order to demonstrate their knowledge and skills by completing Performance Tasks. When it comes to the Performance Tasks and Written Work, there’s no required number, but it should be implemented throughout the quarter while assessing the skills of learners per unit.

Parents can access the grades of their children to see how they perform in school. In fact, they are highly encouraged by teachers to stay updated with the grading information. This fosters healthy relationship between school and home, while improving the overall educational experiences for learners.

DepEd Grading Methodology

The process of computing students’ grades involve some important factors to accurately assess the performance of students in the classroom. This dynamic tool plays a crucial role in shaping the Philippine educational landscape. With a well-defined structure for evaluation and understanding the many-sided nature of education. The grading system also supports students and teachers through a culture of inclusivity and excellence, sustaining the learning experience in the Philippines.

Written Exams. When it comes to gauging the knowledge of students in the subject areas, written exams play an important role. The periodic tests help evaluate the critical thinking skils, application of knowledge, and memorization of facts.
Classroom Participation. This measures the interaction and engagement of students in their classroom. Teachers provide support and feedback by observing how their students actively participate and demonstrate their curiosity and comprehension.
Performance Tasks. The purpose of performance tasks is to give a view on the way learners apply the lessons in school. These tasks include hands-on activities and projects to evaluate their ability to practice what they’ve learned.
Projects and Homework. Through projects and assignments, teachers get a deeper understanding on how students value their time outside the classroom. By assigning projects and homework, learners can better understand the subjects, achieve independent study skills, and reinforce learning.

DepEd Grading Scale

The grading system of DepEd has core functions including the promotion of continuous development, open communication among students, parents, and teachers, and tracking of the progress of learners. From time to time, DepEd revises the grading system in order to keep up with the global trends in terms of innovative learning.

Highlighting continuous assessment and holistic development, the revisions will make the grading system even more responsive and flexible. The focus is directed from academic achievements of students to their overall development and growth in the classroom. This helps make education in the Philippines more well-adjusted to the expectations and needs in the real world.

In the grading system, students’ grades will typically range between 65 to 100. Check out the details below:

90-100: Outstanding (O)
85-89: Very Satisfactory (VS)
80-84: Satisfactory (S)
75-79: Fairly Satisfactory (FS)
Below 75: Did Not Meet Expectations ((DNM)

These will help educators measure the performance of the students while focusing on recognizing their achievements as well as areas they need to improve.

How to Compute K to 12 Students’ Final Grades

Following the guidelines in the K to 12 Grading System, here are all the steps on how teachers compute their students’ final grades:

Step 1: Add up all the grades from student work. The result will be the total score per component such as Quarterly Assessment, Performance Tasks, and Written Work. Raw scores from these components are then converted to percent to make sure the values are aligned with each other.

Step 2: Each component’s sum is converted to a percentage score. Percentage scores are computed by dividing the raw scores by the highest score and multiplying the quotient by 100%.

Step 3: Convert the Percentage Scores to the Weighted Score. This will show the value of the components when it comes to supporting learning in every subject area. To compute this, multiply the Percentage Score by the Weight of the Components for Grade 1 to 10 students, or for Senior High School students.

Step 4: Add up the Weighted Scores for every component to get the Initial Grade, then transmute it using the transmutation table in order to arrive at the Quarterly Grade.

Step 5: Write the Quarterly Grade per learning area in the students’ report cards.

Computation Process for Student Grades

Now, let’s delve deeper into how exactly teachers compute grade. Check out the following procedure for further understanding of the computation process:

Determine each component’s total score.
Total raw score divided by the highest score, and multiplied by 100%.
Get the Weighted Scores by multiplying the Percentage Scores by the Weight of the Components.
Add up the Weighted Score for each component to get the Initial Grade.
Use the Transmutation Table to transmute the Initial Grade.

At the end of every school year, grades are computed as well. For kindergarten, only descriptions of the progress of the learner are recorded instead of numerical grades through student portfolios and checklists. For Grade 1 to 10 students, the Final Grade is determined using the average of the Quarterly Grades. Divide the sum of the Final Grades by the learning areas’ total number. The General Average and Final Grade are written in whole numbers in the report card.

For Grade 11 and 12 students, the Final Grade is determined by the two quarters in one semester. So there will be Final Grades for the two semesters in one academic year.

In this video, you will get all the information you need about the DepEd Order 31 s. 2020 guidelines regarding the assessment of learners’ performance and computation of grades. You can download the PowerPoint presentation for your reference.

Summary

The computation of grades for students in public and private schools is quite a daunting task to fulfill. Teachers are required to follow certain grading system guidelines in order to get the Final Grades for learners in a particular quarter or grading period. There are different weight of components to consider to compute for different Grades. Overall, the K to 12 Grading System implemented by DepEd makes learning more progressive and effective for all students across the Philippines.

Each grading period helps teachers assess the skills and knowledge of their students and help those who are having hard time catching up with the lessons. For those with failing marks, remedial classes are provided to give them another chance to pass the unit or subject they failed. More importantly, understanding how grades are computed gives people an idea on how DepEd evaluates the competency of each Filipino learner.

LRN DepEd Learner Reference Number: What is It and How to Get one

In 2011, the Department of Education (DepEd) – Philippines launched the Learner’s Information System (LIS) to streamline and digitalize the enrollment process in the country. It allows school heads, administrators, or class advisers to enroll learners, check their academic records, or update their status using their issued LRN. But what is DepEd LRN, and how can a learner get one? Read on as we discuss everything to know about DepEd LRN.

The DepEd LRN is utilized by all educational institutions in the Philippines, from public and private schools to ALS programs. DepEd implemented it to simplify and modernize the enrolment process in the country. In addition, LRN can help class advisers trace learners and manage their classes. It can also help determine the status of learners if they’re transferring to another school or promoted to the secondary level. That’s why parents and guardians of learners should understand what the DepEd LRN is all about to ensure their child gets one.

Table of Contents

What is DepEd LRN

Introduced by the Department of Education (DepEd), the Learner Reference Number (LRN) is a 12-digit number assigned to learners enrolled in the basic education system in the Philippines. It is a unique and permanent number provided to learners enrolled in public schools, including private educational institutions and Alternative Learning System (ALS) programs with permits to operate or recognized by DepEd.

On March 20, 2012, DepEd launched the adoption of LRN to all public school learners at elementary and secondary levels through the K to 12 Curriculum. However, DepEd LRN functions as a national student identification number. Thus, all learners in the country will receive a unique LRN upon enrollment to Kinder. The DepEd LRN applies even if the learner transfers to another school or learning institution, public or private, including moving up or promotion to the secondary level.

Objectives

Although DepEd initially created the LRN for public school learners, the department later implemented this order for all students in the Philippine basic education. As per DepEd Order (DO) No. 22 series 2012, the implementation of LRN seeks to achieve the following objectives:

Expedite tracing/checking of learners’ academic records and performance.
Help recognize learners by incorporating LRN into their school records, such as diplomas, SF9 (Form 138), SF10 (Form 137), Accreditation and Equivalency (A & E) Examination, ALS Certificate, and National Achievement Test (NAT)
Ensure learners’ school records are accurate and correct

Who is it for

Under the DepEd Order (DO) No. 52 series 2016, the authority to issue LRN to learners is only granted to the following institutions:

Public schools
Private schools licensed/recognized by DepEd
ALS Community Learning Centers

These institutions can issue only one permanent LRN to each learner in the basic education system, which they will use from Kinder to college. Meanwhile, the DepEd Central and Regional Offices don’t have the authority to issue LRN to new learners. DepEd offices are also not allowed to disclose a learner’s existing LRN. Upon enrolment, educational institutions will issue DepEd LRN free of charge to the following:

Entering Kinder, Grade 1 (Kindergarten Catch-Up Education Program / KCEP), and ALS learners.
Learners in Grade 1 (non-KCEP) to Grade 12 (Issuance of LRN requires the DepEd Division Office approval via LIS)
Kindergarten learners must be five (5) years old when school starts.

The issuance of DepEd LRN depends on age to ensure the school readiness of learners mentally, emotionally, and physically. For instance, if the institution begins the school year past June, learners enrolled in Kinder must be five (5) years old by June 1, while the extension period is until August 31. For schools beginning their school year on July 1 and August 1, the extension period is until September 30 and October 31, respectively.

How to find DepEd LRN

The DepEd LRN is often in the Learner’s Progress Report Card/SF9 (Form 138). You can also check the DepEd LRN in other school documents, such as the Learner’s Permanent Academic Record/SF10 (Form 137), ALS Certificate, and NAT. However, the parent or guardian of the learner can ask the school registrar for their permanent LRN if it’s not in the stated documents.

How to get DepEd LRN

Follow the steps below to get DepEd LRN for your child:

Parents or guardians must first enroll their child in a public school. If private, the school or learning center must be DepEd-recognized.
Learners who will enroll as Kinder, Grade 1 (Kindergarten Catch-Up Education Program / KCEP), and ALS must meet the age requirement of five (5) years old.
Before a learner can get an LRN, the accepting school will require the following documents for Kinder Enrolment on the Learner Information System (LIS):
- PSA Birth/Baptismal Certificate
- SF9 (Form 138) or SF10 (Form 137)
The school coordinator or class adviser will enroll the learner on the LIS portal if they meet all the requirements.
After filling out the required data and enrolling the learner, the system will generate a permanent LRN.

On the contrary, learners from private schools without a permit to operate or not recognized by DepEd will not get an LRN. Hence, parents/guardians must ensure they enroll their children at DepEd-recognized schools to ensure the issuance of LRN.

To learn more about the DepEd LRN, watch the video below:

As discussed in the video, the DepEd LRN is mandatory for all learners, issued from Kindergarten, and used until college. It was strictly implemented in the school year 2019 to 2020 due to the transition period brought about by the K to 12 curriculum. The LRN can help trace learners’ levels, schools, and other information. Meanwhile, educational institutions with DepEd permits will issue the LRN where the learner enrolls.

Nonetheless, not all Kindergarten learners will be issued an LRN since they must meet the age requirement of five (5) years old to ensure school readiness. The learner should turn five (5) within two (2) months when the school year starts, or else the school will not issue an LRN. Schools will produce the LRN through the DepEd LIS portal, where they will encode the learner’s information. That’s why the DepEd LRN is essential for all learners in the Philippines.

Summary

As DepEd implements the Learner Reference Number (LRN), schools can digitalize their enrolment process, including students’ school records. The DepEd LRN is a unique number issued to every learner in the Philippines, which they will permanently use from Kindergarten to college. Moreover, public and private schools recognized by DepEd or those with permits to operate are the only ones who can issue it. Therefore, parents and guardians must ensure their children are enrolled in eligible educational institutions to guarantee the issuance of DepEd LRN.

LIS DepEd Guide: Learner Information System Guide

lis deped guide explained learner information system

Whether private or public, personnel of educational institutions are always busy with the enrolment process before the school year starts. From checking every student’s school records to ensuring they qualify for enrolment or acceleration. Once the school year ends, they should also update the learner’s enrolment status, making it easier to identify students who transferred, dropped out, or finalized the class. That’s where the Department of Education (DepEd) Learner Information System (LIS) comes in to make the process efficient and convenient.

The DepEd LIS is an online portal for personnel from private and public schools, colleges, universities, and ALS. DepEd launched this portal to provide a facility wherein schools can create and access records of learners across the Philippines. It’s a secure and innovative solution to manage enrolment, classes, and each learner’s academic record.

Summary

As the world becomes even more digitalized, the Philippine government utilizes the DepEd Learner Information System (LIS) to provide a historical but effective solution to create a comprehensive learner’s record. It streamlines teachers’ work and the sharing of student’s records. Additionally, the DepEd LIS makes it easy to process enrolment and create class records accessible throughout the country. Therefore, we advise eligible users from public and private educational institutions, including ALS programs, to take advantage of the DepEd LIS.

DepEd Form 138 Explained: How to Get a Copy

The Department of Education (DepEd) maintains various forms to manage student records and facilitate administrative processes. Among these, Form 138, now officially known as School Form 9 (SF9), is a crucial document for students. It encapsulates academic performance and progress throughout the year and is frequently required for applications including enrollment, employment, and scholarship opportunities.

With the restructuring and modernization of the educational system, particularly with the K-12 curriculum, DepEd has updated Form 138 to SF9. This change aligns with the department’s goal to streamline services and enhance the manageability of students’ academic records. Hence, throughout this document, when referring to Form 138, it is synonymous with the current School Form 9 (SF9).

Table of Contents

What is the DepEd Form 138?

The school produces Form 138 to let parents know more about their child’s academic development. Only the learner’s current school and/or the school to which they plan to transfer have physical copies of Form 138. A learner enrolling in the next grade level must also submit Form 138, which is necessary since it shows the learner’s promotional status.

Form 138, currently called SF9, is a report card that provides an overview of the learner’s performance in a variety of subjects and character traits throughout all four grading periods. It indicates their attendance, grades, and eligibility for grading up. Along with the student’s name, age, grade, section, and attendance history, it also has an area for signatures and remarks from parents and the principal.

The class adviser will prepare Form 138/SF9 every quarter.

Form 138/SF9 is an important record because it is typically needed for employment, education, and scholarship applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below is a list of frequently asked questions regarding “DepEd Form 138”.

1. What’s the difference between Forms 137 and 138?

Form 137 is usually used for school-to-school transactions and employment. Your initial school will send or mail your records to the new institution you’re applying to or transferring to, upon request. Form 138 is a reference to the student’s record for that specific year.

2. What is the purpose of Form 138/SF9?

The Report Card, also known as Form 138/SF9, is an essential record as it serves as a means for the school to monitor the academic advancement of its students. The majority of Form 138 is composed of the student’s grades. The academic performance is shown to your school by your grades. Good marks indicate that you are performing well academically. Your school can become concerned about your academic advancement if your grades are not so great.

3. Is Form 138 required for enrollment?

As it also shows the learner’s promotional status, Form 138 is a necessary document at the end of the school year for a student enrolling in the next grade level.

4. Is it possible for me to get an additional copy of my Form 138?

The Report Card or Form 138 that is lost or damaged may be replaced with a certification. It is necessary to submit a written request and an Affidavit of Loss or Damage. The form will be available in three (3) to four (4) business days.

5. Do I need Form 138 for transferring to another school?

Yes. As per DepEd order No. 03, s. 2018, learners from primary public and private schools who require a transfer must hand in their Form 138/SF9 (popularly known as Report Card) or a letter from the school registrar attesting to the student’s completion of the last grade level, signed by the school, to the receiving school.

DepEd Form 137 Explained: How to Get a Copy

In recent updates to academic record-keeping, the Department of Education has redesignated Form 137. It is now known as the “School Form 10” or “SF10” form. This change is to standardize the records across different levels and to simplify the identification process of student records. As with its predecessor, the SF10 form continues to detail the student’s academic achievements and extracurricular involvements throughout their educational career.

Form 137 is a permanent school record that contains the student’s past academic and extracurricular activity information. It serves as a reflection of the student’s performance for the specified grading period and grade level and is sent to the parents and learners.

Table of Contents

What is the Form 137?

Form 137 has a new version known as SF10. SF10 will only show the official DepEd seal and logo to maintain simplicity. When a student transfers to a different school, this will provide consistency and uniformity and reduce the number of stapled forms or even the need to rewrite the same information on school-customized Form 137. Form 137 or SF10, must be used by students in all other grades until they have completed grades K–12.

The overall average and the final grade for every subject are given as whole numbers. Comments in the final grade for each subject area will state a pass or fail. The failing grade, together with the failed action, will be written in black ballpoint pen. Black ballpoint pens are used for Retained and Promoted in the General Average. Class Advisor’s initial will be placed next to the General Average.

How to Request for Form 137 from DepEd

Step 1: Create a request form for requesting your Form 137.

On the other hand, you can get a request form from your new school or employer.

Step 2: Go to the clerk or registrar of the learner’s new school or employer where you plan to use the document and ask for the Form 137/SF10 request Request Form (Re-issuance for Form 137).

Step 3: The clerk/registrar will prepare the request form and get the director/head registrar to sign it.

Step 4: They will dry seal it after signing and put it in an envelope with the school’s address on it.

Step 5: The registrar/clerk will ask you to hand-carry the document and submit it to the appropriate school so that Form 137 can be released right away.

Step 6: The clerk/registrar will get the release logbook and request your signature.

Step 7: Visit the DepEd office during business hours and three hours before closing time, as they sometimes set aside time for documents processing.

Step 8: Submit the request form to the record’s clerk or registrar.

Step 9: Sit down and wait for the record’s clerk or registrar to call your name.

Step 10: Receive your Form 137/SF10.

See sample Form 137/SF10 below:

How to Get Form 137 from DepEd Online

You can download the SF10 MS excel worksheet format for free from LIS website.

Step 1: View and open the link for the DepEd forms here – https://support.lis.deped.gov.ph/support/#sec4.

Step 2: Scroll down until you reach the Downloads portion.

Step 3: Click the appropriate SF10 of the learner.

Step 4: Take the Learner Profile and LRN from the LIS-generated SF10 and paste them in. For the current school year, the grade/final rating, remarks, and general average can all be typed in (computer-encoded) along with the necessary school information. You can complete it by hand if there are extreme conditions (no electricity or computer); before anything else, seek technical support or assistance from SDO.

Step 5: Avoid printing SF10 on hard bond paper. Not only is hard bond paper pricey, but it is also difficult to mail via courier because it cannot be folded. If the bond paper can be printed on a standard printer, regular long or legal-size bond paper will work perfectly.

Note: The learner’s picture and the school logo should not be on the SF10.

Important!

The Learner Information System (LIS) offers FREE downloads of official school forms especially Form 137/SF10 that are ONLY available to schools.

Inform the Planning Service, the Undersecretary for Planning and Field Operations Office, and the LIS/EBEIS Helpdesk of any instances of the not authorized use and sale of School Forms.

A revision or adjustment to the Form 137/SF10 may be essential if the signatories have changed and the name or other information has changed, making it impossible to produce a new Form 137/SF10. Still, the current school head’s signature must be present.

School Form 9 (SF9) Learner’s Progress Report Card (Formerly Form 138)

Whether at the elementary or high school level, students should keep some school documents that they can use in the future, such as the Dep`Ed Learner’s Progress Report Card or SF9. It contains the student’s progress, from academic and behavior to attendance. Formerly Form 138, the SF9 features the learner’s grade in all learning areas every quarter. But how important is this document, and why should students keep it? To find out, read on as we share everything you need to know about the Learner’s Progress Report Card or SF9 .

The School Form 9 (SF9) is the new version of the Form 138 or the traditional Report Card. But despite the changes, the Department of Education (DepEd) released a new template to ensure uniformity in school documents. The SF9 template also serves as a guide for class advisers who make the student’s Report Card. It contains the learner’s information, attendance record, certificate of transfer, and grading system. Moreover, the document has reports about students learning progress, achievement, and observed values.

Table of Contents

What is SF9 (Formerly Form 138)

The School Form 9 (SF9) or the Learner’s Progress Report Card is formerly known as Form 138. It is a school document with the learner’s academic, behavioral, and attendance record, which the class adviser prepares quarterly. The SF9 is issued at the end of each term or semester, containing the grades received by the student. Furthermore, those applying for scholarship programs, colleges, universities, and jobs will need this for their requirements.

Since it contains the learner’s academic performance, the SF9 is useful when tracking the student’s progress in the long run. It helps determine whether the student is doing well in their classes. The Learner’s Progress Report Card in the Philippines is also issued by the school registrar duly signed by the principal, bearing the official seal of the educational institution.

Importance of SF9

As per DepEd Order No. 03 series 2018, transferees from public and private schools who failed to submit their SF9 will only be regarded by the receiving school as “temporarily enrolled learners” until they have submitted the required documents for enrollment. Also, temporarily enrolled learners won’t be able to advance to a higher grade level and not be recognized for academic honors. Although the receiving school can issue a Temporary Progress Report Card, this form is only for progress monitoring.

It’s not valid for transfer and enrollment purposes. Additionally, the receiving school cannot release official documents of temporarily enrolled learners, such as Certificate of Completion, Diploma, SF9 , and SF10 (Form 137). Therefore, the SF9 is an important school document for students, especially if enrolling in the next grade level.

Difference Between SF9 and SF10

The notable distinction between SF10 and SF9 lies in their function and scope. While SF9, or the Learner’s Progress Report Card, focuses specifically on providing detailed information about the student’s performance within a particular academic year or quarter in terms of grades and attendance, SF10 serves a broader purpose. Known as the Learner’s Permanent Record, SF10 is a comprehensive document that tracks a student’s academic journey throughout their elementary and secondary education. This document includes not only the grades and attendance but also records of achievements, awards, and even disciplinary actions, giving a holistic view of the student’s educational background.

How to Request for SF9

Do note that the Department of Education-Central Office (DepEd-CO) does not keep school records of learners since their original documents are only issued once by the school they attended. Thus, we advise students, their parents, or guardians to get their records from the school they last attended. To do so, follow the steps below:

Contact or visit the school last attended by the student or where they graduated.
Proceed to the registrar’s office and get a request form for SF9 or a certification.
Accomplish the request form and return it to the registrar’s office.
Pay the applicable fees, if any.
Wait for the release of the learner’s school record.
Then, collect the SF9 certification.

Some schools may have an online process for the request of SF9. Other educational institutions may mail the documents to the requesting party instead of claiming the documents in person. Thus, we advise you to check with the concerned school regarding their process. Additionally, you may bring the school document to the DepEd Division Office to certify your copy.

But if using it for job application abroad, bring your school records or certificate to the DepEd Regional Office for authentication. You may also contact the Schools Division Office (SDO), which has authority over the school you last attended, to ask for assistance. Nonetheless, private schools can withhold students’ credentials if the learner fails to fulfill their financial obligations.

Video: School Form 9 SF9 SY 2022-2023

Watch the video below to learn more about the SF9:

As discussed in the video, the School Form 9 (SF9) or the Learner’s Progress Report Card is a template included in the DepEd Order No. 8 series 2015. The said order also contains the latest grading system used by class advisers. During the pandemic, educational institutions shifted to a new grading system, wherein changes in the learner’s Progress Report Card. Previously, the SF9 had a designated character, which DepEd removed during the pandemic since teachers could not directly observe and assess the core values of learners.

However, as learners return to face-to-face classes, educational institutions will again use the previous format designated for assessing core values. The template shown in the video will serve as a guide for teachers in making an SF9 for the school year 2022-2023. Thus, teachers should use the latest template and grading system DepEd requires for the school year.

Summary

The Learner’s Progress Report Card or the SF9 is an essential school document containing the student’s academic and behavioral performance, including attendance. It helps class advisers, parents, and guardians assess the student’s progress, allowing them to determine which area the student needs assistance or further improvement. The SF9 is also required when applying for scholarships, colleges, and jobs.

Additionally, the Learner’s Progress Report Card is required when transferring schools. Thus, we encouraged students, their parents, or guardians to keep their SF9 in a secure and dry storage place, preventing it from getting destroyed or misplaced. If you lost this document, contact the school where the learner attended or graduated to get another copy or a certificate.

Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES) Program for Filipino Students

tes tertiary education subsidy scholarship ched unifast

The TES (Tertiary Education Subsidy) program is a grant-in-aid program under RA 10931 or Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act. It’s designed to support qualified students enrolled in CHED-recognized public and private higher education institutions. By providing financial assistance for tertiary education, including education-related expenses, it aims to make quality education accessible to all. Additionally, it extends access to quality tertiary education in cities/towns without state or local universities and colleges (SUCs/LUCs).

Filipino students who are interested in pursuing tertiary education can apply for TES financial assistance. Applicants must be Filipino citizens who have graduated from high school and are enrolled in a CHED-recognized public or private higher education institution. There is an educational cash aid with a maximum of PHP 60,000 for private colleges/universities and PHP 40,000 for local state universities per academic year . The amount of financial assistance may vary depending on the availability of funds and the student’s socio-economic status.

Overview

Tertiary education is an important phase in an individual’s academic journey, as well as the bridge of shaping the future and influencing societal progress. However, the rising costs associated with higher education have become a total barrier for many aspiring students. In response to this challenge, various Philippines have implemented Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES) programs to alleviate financial burdens and promote inclusivity.

The main purpose of TES is to provide financial assistance and support to students from low-income families to help them pursue tertiary education. This program aims to make higher education more accessible and affordable, especially for those who are struggling financially.

We all know that education is a key factor in breaking the cycle of poverty and promoting social mobility. TES recognizes this and aims to provide equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their economic background. Qualified Filipino students can receive cash aid that covers various expenses, such as tuition fees, books, and other school supplies. This subsidy helps reduce the burden of education-related costs for students and their families, allowing them to focus on their studies without worrying about financial constraints.

Understanding Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES) by CHED UniFAST

TES is a financial assistance program provided by governments or educational institutions to support students pursuing higher education. Its primary goal is to make tertiary education more accessible and affordable, ensuring that socio-economic factors do not hinder deserving individuals from obtaining a college or university degree.

The establishment of Tertiary Education Subsidy programs by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) reflects a government’s commitment to creating a more equitable, educated, and skilled society. By investing in the education of its citizens, a government seeks to address socio-economic challenges, drive economic growth, and build a foundation for sustainable development.

TES can take various forms, including grants, scholarships, loans, or a combination of these, and is often tailored to cater to different needs and circumstances.

Promoting Access to Higher Education – TES aims to break down financial barriers, enabling a broader spectrum of students to access tertiary education. By doing so, it contributes to fostering a diverse and inclusive academic environment.
Reducing Financial Burdens on Students – One of the primary objectives of TES is to alleviate the financial strain on students and their families. This allows students to focus more on their studies and personal growth rather than worrying about how to finance their education.
Addressing Socio-Economic Disparities – TES is a tool for addressing socioeconomic inequalities by providing financial support to students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This helps bridge the gap between different socio-economic groups and promotes social mobility.
Enhancing Workforce Development – By ensuring that more individuals have access to higher education, TES contributes to the development of a highly skilled and educated workforce. This, in turn, enhances a country’s competitiveness in the global economy.

Types of Education Subsidies

Grants and Scholarships – Grants and scholarships are non-repayable financial aids awarded to students based on academic merit, financial need, or a combination of both. These funds can cover tuition fees, living expenses, and other educational costs.

Student Loans – Some TES programs provide low-interest or interest-free loans to students, allowing them to finance their education and repay the borrowed amount after graduation when they are more financially stable.

Work-Study Programs – Work-study programs combine part-time employment with academic studies, offering students the opportunity to gain practical experience while earning money to support their education.

Fee Subsidies – Fee subsidies directly reduce the amount of tuition fees students are required to pay, making education more affordable. This form of subsidy is particularly beneficial for students from low-income families.

Benefits

Increased Enrollment Rates – TES programs have been successful in boosting enrollment rates in tertiary institutions, as they make education more accessible to a broader range of students.

Diverse and Inclusive Learning Environments – By removing financial barriers, TES contributes to the creation of diverse and inclusive learning environments where students from various backgrounds can learn and collaborate.

Reduced Student Loan Debt – Programs that include student loans, TES helps students graduate with less debt, allowing them to start their professional lives without the burden of hefty loan repayments.

Enhanced Social Mobility – TES is also promoting social mobility, enabling individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds to access higher education and improve their socio-economic status.

Contributions to National Development – A well-educated population, facilitated by TES, contributes to the overall development of a nation by producing innovation, research, and a skilled workforce.

Subsidy Scholarship Grant

Students enrolled in Private Schools can get a maximum of P60,000 per academic year.
Students enrolled in State and Local Universities can get a maximum of P40,000 per academic year.

Additional Benefits for PWD & Board Exam Takers:

PWD – P30,000 (Per year)
Board/Licensure Exam- P10,000 (One-time reimbursement)

Video: Tertiary Education Subsidy

In this video, you will learn more about TES and how it can help students with financial burdens. Tertiary education can be a powerful tool for social mobility, allowing individuals to improve their economic prospects and contribute more effectively to society.

TES programs are implemented to address socioeconomic disparities by providing financial support to students who might otherwise be unable to afford higher education. Governments recognize the importance of having a highly skilled and educated workforce to compete in the global economy. TES programs contribute to the development of a knowledgeable and skilled workforce, which is vital for innovation, economic growth, and maintaining competitiveness in various industries.

TES and DepEd Relation

TES programs are often implemented by governments in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd). DepEd helps identify students who may benefit from TES and facilitates their enrollment and participation in the program. This collaboration between DepEd and TES not only promotes access to higher education but also ensures that deserving students receive the financial support they need.

Summary

Tertiary Education Subsidy is a powerful instrument in pursuing accessible and affordable higher education. Its impact extends beyond individual students, influencing societal development and progress. By addressing financial barriers, TES promotes inclusivity, diversity, and social mobility, contributing to a more equitable and skilled global workforce. While challenges exist, the benefits of TES underscore its importance as a catalyst for positive change in education systems worldwide. As nations continue to evolve, investing in TES becomes paramount for unlocking the full potential of future generations and building a sustainable and prosperous future.
