DepEd to roll out dynamic learning program in typhoon-hit areas
THE Department of Education (DepEd) will deploy the Dynamic Learning Program (DLP) to support education continuity in schools impacted by typhoons and natural disasters.
The pilot implementation of DLP started November 1 in affected schools in Regions I, II, III, IV-A, V, and CAR.
The DLP initiative is designed to address disruptions caused by disasters and other challenges by promoting independent and resource-efficient learning.
“We’re bringing resilience to the heart of learning so that no student’s education has to pause when challenges arise,” Education Secretary Sonny Angara said.
Under the DLP, affected schools have the flexibility to conduct make-up classes and use DLP learning activity sheets in temporary learning spaces. These activity sheets are designed to be simple, targeted, and adaptable.
The program’s features include parallel classes, activity-based engagement, student portfolios, and a reduced homework policy.
The program encourages learners to engage deeply with lessons and build essential skills like writing, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
Through this initiative, DepEd seeks to restore educational opportunities for students by establishing resilient, adaptable learning practices.
The deployment of DLP is aligned with the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. as a proactive learning continuity measure during disaster and emergency contexts.
DLP was developed by Dr. Christopher Bernido and Dr. Ma. Victoria Carpio-Bernido, founders of the Central Visayan Institute Foundation (CVIF) in Jagna, Bohol.
DLP aims to improve learning outcomes through independent learning and minimal resource dependence, making it particularly effective in resource-limited environments.
