The Department of Education has pursued its education reform, the MATATAG: Bansang Makabata, Batang Makabansa Agenda, which sets the new direction of the agency and stakeholders in resolving basic education challenges. In pursuing such reform in the basic education curriculum, it is imperative to understand the current context and setting. Doing so will allow the Department to recognize the existing and expected realities and, consequently, adopt appropriate measures to realize its vision, hence making the MATATAG Curriculum, which is responsive and attuned to the dynamic changes that come into play in the society (General Shaping Paper, MATATAG Curriculum 2023).
The MATATAG Curriculum focuses on foundational skills and embedding peace competencies, building more resilient schools and classrooms, strengthening inclusive education programs, advocating for teachers’ additional benefits, and providing professional development programs, among others. The aim is to create a more effective and impactful educational experience for Filipino learners.
The Training on MATATAG curriculum is rooted in the fundamental importance of ensuring that teachers are fully equipped with the knowledge, understanding, and skills necessary to effectively implement the curriculum. Teacher quality is vital in raising learner achievement. However, teachers alone cannot bring about substantive changes without effective leadership.
In addition, DepEd Order No. 24, s. 2022 or the Adoption of the Basic Education Development Plan 2030 (BEDP 2030) outlines the priorities of the department in addressing the immediate and long-term concerns confronting basic education: access, equity, quality, and resiliency. Quality is designed to address the quality of education through various strategic means such as but not limited to upskilling and reskilling of teachers and school leaders.
To articulate the general shape of the MATATAG Curriculum and to ensure its full implementation, all Master Teachers shall develop a Work Application Plan (WAP) underscoring the intensification of Learning Action Cells (LACs) through Collaborative Expertise.
