DepEd to ramp up 4 learning programs
THE Department of Education will ramp up four summer learning programs in line with the directive of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr , to address the learning loss.
The summer learning efforts this May through the implementation of four major programs aimed at building foundational skills across grade levels.
These are the Bawat Bata Makababasa Program (BBMP), Literacy Remediation Program (LRP), Summer Academic Remedial Program, and the Learning Camp (LC).
DepEd’s summer programs form part of a holistic education recovery strategy that combines targeted instruction, volunteer mobilization, learner well-being, and community engagement to ensure that no learner is left behind.
“We call on our partners and stakeholders to stand with us in this mission, ” Education Secretary Sonny Angara said.
DepEd will pilot the BBMP targeting around 75,000 Grades 1 to 3 learners identified as struggling readers based on literacy assessments.
The program will run from May 8 to June 6, 2025, and will provide daily reading tutorials supported by fun and engaging activities designed to build foundational literacy.
Approximately 7,500 teachers and volunteer tutors will be deployed across the region, with each tutor assigned to small groups of learners for focused instruction.
To support this effort, DepEd will train 14,023 teachers to conduct two-hour daily remediation sessions from May 13 to June 6, 2025.
A cascade of training activities will begin with the Training of National and Regional Trainers for Remediation Teachers from April 27 to 30, followed by training for School Heads from April 30 to May 2, and Regional Trainings for teachers from May 4 to 9.
Participating teachers will receive service credits and daily meal allowance.
DepEd will also implement a nationwide Summer Academic Remedial Program from May 13 to June 6, 2025, targeting Grades 4 to 12 learners who require additional support in one or two subjects.
Lastly, the 2025 Learning Camp will be piloted in 10 selected schools located in the MATATAG Pilot Regions (Regions I, II, VII, XII, the National Capital Region (NCR), Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), and CARAGA).
These schools were chosen based on the number and percentage of students performing below minimum proficiency levels.
The LC promotes a learner-centered approach with smaller class sizes and a focus on learner well-being through enjoyable and meaningful academic experiences in Reading, English, and Mathematics.
