DIPOLOG
CITY - In recognition of its contribution to the successful
implementation of the Alternative Learning system (ALS), the Dapitan City
Parole and Probation Office (DCPPO) has recently been awarded with a Plaque of
Commendation by the Department of Education (DepEd) as one of this year’s ALS
Champions.
DCPPO
Chief Ma. Jeanette Requina has received the award from Schools Division Superintendent
Teresita Cascolan in a simple ceremony attended by all school administrators at
the Gabaldon Building, Dapitan City Schools Division Office last June 27.
The
said award was part of the national search for Outstanding ALS Stakeholders
in
every district of the division, requiring all district ALS coordinators and mobile
teachers to make write-ups about their stakeholders and supporters, subject for
review and evaluation by the Regional Panel of Judges before submitting the
same to DepEd Central office for final evaluation and judgment.
In
his write-up, Mr. Noli Paguigui, Barcelona Schools District Mobile Teacher I,
gave emphasis on the allout support extended by the City Parole and Probation
Office to the ALS programs and projects.
Aside
from its strong support to the program and close monitoring of its client
learners enrolled in the ALS program, DCPPO was also instrumental in providing
financial and technical resources such as the learning session venues and
instructional materials needed for the literacy and Accreditation and
Equivalency sessions for the parolees and probationers.
According
to Requina, 11 probationers from DCPPO, consisting of 9 students in the
elementary level and 2 in the secondary level were among the recent graduates
of the ALS program in Dapitan City. (PIA9)
