1. The Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 (Republic Act No. 10533) laid the foundation for a globally competitive, inclusive, and responsive basic education system in the Philippines. Introducing the K to 12 Program emphasized the mastery of core competencies and the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for lifelong success. Building on this, DepEd Order No. 021, s. 2019, institutionalized the program, transforming the education landscape by integrating global competencies, aligning teaching strategies with international benchmarks, and promoting educational equity.
2. Aligned with these objectives, the Department of Education (DepEd) has actively participated in international large-scale assessments (ILSA) to measure and improve the quality of education against global standards. Recommendations from various education stakeholders stressed the need for targeted interventions to address resource gaps, strengthen teacher capacity, and enhance learning outcomes.
3. To respond to these challenges and prepare for ILSA 2025 assessment cycle, DepEd issued key guidelines to institutionalize readiness strategies. OO-OSEC-2024-303, issued on December 13, 2024, operationalized the Technical Working Group to coordinate efforts across governance levels. Complementing this, OSEC-OASOPS-2024- A1904, issued on December 18, 2024, introduced the School Readiness Audit to assess infrastructure, teacher capacity, and learner preparedness.
4. This DepEd Memorandum shall apply to all DepEd Regional Offices (excluding BARMM), Schools Division Offices with identified testing schools under their jurisdiction, and the identified testing schools participating in the 2025 assessment cycle.
5. These guidelines shall establish the procedures and basis for the standards, technical specifications, release, allocation, downloading, utilization, and liquidation of FY 2024-2025 funds under existing budgeting, accounting, auditing, and procurement rules.
6. For more information, contact the Office of the Secretary, 2nd Floor Rizal Building, DepEd Central Office, DepEd Complex, Meralco Avenue, Pasig City, at the telephone number (02) 8633-7208 or through email at osec@deped.gov.ph.
