New Learning MOOC’s Updates

Teaching innovation should start in basic education – DepEd Ph

“The notion of innovation, the desire for knowledge, of creating something helpful out of what is going on around us have to be inculcated to our learners,” Briones said. “We have to change the way we teach our learners [and] we have to prepare them for a world that is drastically changing,” she added.

With the future uncertain due to the rise of advanced technologies, Briones cited the “Sulong EduKalidad” program – DepEd’s latest move to innovate Philippine education in response to the drastically changing world.

Briones also underscored the importance of the ongoing DepEd innovation in raising the quality of the country’s basic education to address the challenge to change the way learners are taught; to produce new breed of learners; to upgrade capacity of teachers; and to improve facilities and equipment.

The “Sulong EduKalidad,” Briones explained, focuses on four aggressive reforms in basic education which include K to 12 curriculum review and update; Improving learning environment; Teachers upskilling and reskilling; Engagement of stakeholders for support and collaboration.
