Alarmed over the decline in English language competency, Cebu Rep. Eduardo Gullas has proposed a new legislation that seeks to revitalize the use of English in schools.
With this, the Department of Education Division of Negros Oriental has been intensifying its school wide reading time project in the wake of the reported decline in the English language competency among Filipino students.
According to Dr. Catalina Credo, English supervisor of the DepEd division office here, the said project is conducted everyday for at least 30 to 45 minutes other than the regular English subject.
Elementary students are grouped according to the reading level set by the Philippine Reading Inventory regardless of their grade level. “A Grade 1 student and a Grade 3 students may be grouped together because they belong to the same reading level,” explains Credo.
To augment the education system, DepEd has made sure that there will be enough textbooks with the release of P810 million for the textbook requirements of the 17 million students expected to return to school this year, said Camarines Sur Rep. Rolando Andaya
The classes are conducted by teachers who do remedial work at a time convenient for the teacher and the students.
Credo said that at the end of the year, an assessment is made on the students who can be upgraded from frustration level to instructional level or to independent level.
