I. INTRODUCTION
Education is a right. Every learner has the right to quality basic education. The 1987 Philippine Constitution, Article
XIV, Section 1 provides that, “The State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels, and
Page | 4
shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all”. With this, the Department of Education (DepEd), as
duty bearer, ensures that this right is enjoyed by all Filipino learners. As DepEd Secretary Leonor Magtolis-Briones says,
”Education must continue even in times of crisis whether it may be a calamity, disaster, emergency, quarantine, or even war”.
The statements above are grounds for the department to continue exploring and doing researches related to curriculum
in the education system. Curriculum development is based on the needs of the particular era. The continuing change is the
results of various factors such as but not limited to environment, rise of technology and occurrence of unexpected events like
calamities both man-made and natural.
Today, a crisis has again challenged the resilience and positivism of the Filipino people. Things have happened and
have changed our normal life. The COVID-19 Pandemic which has caused the death of thousands and continues to threat
more lives has brought fear to most of us. Our government has shifted focus from their normal concerns to mitigating and
addressing the critical effect of the pandemic attack. Economic condition was affected. People have to stay inside their homes
limiting movements while the government has to provide relief resources and support to its citizenry to ensure their wellbeing
and safety.
So, amid all these, how is education in the Philippines affected with the pronouncement of the president that there shall
be no face-to-face learning in education unless a vaccine is discovered and made available to control widespread of the virus?
DepEd SOCCSKSARGEN Region, considering the situation, has set a plan to address the challenge of the time. With the
development of DepEd SOCCSKSARGEN Region’s Learning Continuity Plan that sets the directions, strategies and efforts of
Page | 5
the Region to ensure continuity in education, the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD), through its
Learning Resources and Management System (LRMS) unit and the Regional Education Program Supervisors in-charge of the
different learning areas, was tasked to organize the different teams composed of CID chiefs, division supervisors and
personnel, school heads and teachers to develop the different learning resources needed for the new normal of education.
The team subtask and do a budget of work for the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) in the different
learning areas. From here, the Self Learning Modules (SLMs), video lessons, Learning Activity Sheets (LASs) and lesson plans
were developed by the schools division offices. These learning resources were submitted to the Regional Quality Assurance
Team (RQAT) assigned in each SDO to quality assure and finalize them for reproduction and distribution to all learners and
schools in the region. These learning resources are imperatives to ensure quality learning delivery using new strategies and
modalities in the new normal of education.
With all of these learning resources now prepared and available for the new normal of learning delivery, the need to
ensure that all are implemented effectively and efficiency, this implementation guide for the different learning delivery
modalities is issued for the proper guidance of all concerned.
|Organization
Page 6 of Classes by Grade Level
The School shall ensure that learners are reached out and have enrolled for school year 2020 – 2021. The
learning delivery modalities preferred by the parents for their children should be clearly indicated in the Learner
Enrollment and Survey Form (LESF). This information is vital as basis for the organization of classes.
Before finalizing the different classes, class advisers should communicate with the parents to confirm their
chosen modality. It should be clarified with the parents the requirements for the learning delivery modality they opted
for their children. It is possible that parents may have chosen for Online Distance Learning but they do not have
internet connectivity in their area; matters like this should be clarified with them.
In organizing the classes for the different grade levels, the class advisers and subject teachers must work together
to harmonize their schedule for the synchronous online learning to avoid conflict in schedule. Learners with the same
chosen modality should be placed in the same class considering the ideal number per class for every grade level. It is
advised that learners of the same grade level and modality living in closer proximity should be in the same class. This
will facilitate easy communication and follow-up with the learners and parents, and the possible learning collaboration
among learners in the Modular Distance Learning.
For small schools with only one (1) class in a grade level, learners may be grouped in a class according to
modality.
Curriculum and Learning Management Division
Class Programming
The class advisers and the subject teachers should prepare the class programs for the whole school that reflect
the time allocation for each subject. The following should be integrated in the class program:
The school may adapt class program for MDL that can be on week-long or per-day target accomplishment of
modules whicever is convenient and beneficial for the learners. As learners are working on their modules at home, it
should be clear with the learners that there is still a schedule for the accomplishment of tasks per subject.
Page | 8 When there is a TV or radio station that offer TV/RBI that can reach the area of the learners, the class advisers
and subject teachers should indicate this in the class program. The exact time for the on-air delivery of the lesson
should be reflected in the class program. Aside from this, another option is to come up with a separate scheduling with
specific time and day a lesson in a learning area and grade level be aired through TV/RBI. This is done so that learners
can prepare the SLM they need for that aired lesson.
The teaching load has to reflect the teacher’s daily schedule for online learning and modular learning and other
teaching activities such as synchronous and asynchronous online teaching, monitoring of learning progress, preparing
learning activities, giving feedback, communicating and doing follow-ups, and other teaching-related activities.
A sample individual teacher loading is provided in the next page for reference.
Orientation with Learners, Families and Communities on the Learning Delivery Modalities
Page | 10The school has to strategize how to orient and train the learners and their families on the learning delivery
modalities they preferred in light of the guidelines issued on health protocols in this time of COVID-19. It is suggested to
have a face-to-face orientation and training when allowed by the DOH, IATF and local government units. Health and social
distancing protocols shall strictly be observed to ensure the health and safety of all.
When the situation does not permit the conduct of the activity in this manner, other alternative options shall be
explored such as online videoconferencing, radio announcement, community-based public address or “rekurida”,
magazines, primers and/or brochures.
The training and orientation activity shall cover the following topics:
h. Submission of outputs
i. Assessment (formative, summative, quarterly and portfolio assessments)
Page | 11
j. Mechanism for giving feedback and follow-up
k. Provision and access to learning resources
l. How to use the Self-Learning Modules, video lessons and learning activity sheets
m. Support to learners and families
n. Data Privacy Act: How to ensure protection and safety of learners and families’ information and privacy
Teachers for the online learning should create the class-team for synchronous learning and videoconferencing
using MS Teams, Google Meet, or Zoom and the Learning Management System like Google Classroom for asynchronous
Page | 12
learning where learners are registered and have access. It can also be an arrangement for parents to have access to
these online platforms to have up-to-date information of their children’s learning progress and that they can provide
immediate assistance and interventions as parent-teachers.
The subject teachers must have a complete list of learners and contact details of every class they are handling.
(Refer to the attached template, Class Master List and Contact Information). They should send information to every
learner using any means of communication on the schedule of class meetings to get to know each other, discuss
teaching-learning schedules and arrangements, subject requirements, curricular and co-curricular activities, school
clubs and organizations, and to make learners familiarize with the use of online platforms, modules, TV and Radio-
Based Instruction, video lessons and learning activity sheets. For online learners, this can be done online by sending
them the online link for the virtual meeting. However, for the modular learners, as face-to-face meeting is not allowed,
teachers may make use of a public address or “rekurida” strategy where they go to communities and do the orientation
though a sound system. All possible means of communications such as group texting, group calling or even home
visitations when possible should be maximized to connect with the learners and parents.
Homeroom Activities
As provided in DO 7, s. 2020, “School Calendar and Activities for School Year 2020 – 2021”, the school should
conduct homeroom activities that include health and psychological activities particularly psychological first aide for
Page | 13
learners, discussion on the characteristics and effects of the pandemic, orientation on precautionary and preventive
measures such as water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and other topics related to COVID-19 pandemic on August 17
– 22, 2020. It is suggested that SDO shall come up with a uniform resource package and delivery platform for this
activity that will be implemented in all schools in the division.
Each learner should be given a printed copy of the Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) and Learning Activity Sheets
(LASs) and the electronic copy of the Video Lessons (VLs) in all of his/her subjects for free together with all the available
textbooks, big books, story books and other learning resources in schools before the opening of classes. The school may
opt to give to learners the number of SLMs and LASs needed for one (1) week, two (2) weeks, or one (1) month
depending on what the school thinks is better to do.
The instruction for access to DepEd commons and the online link to learning resources in the division and region
should be provided to learners and parents. Request of learners or parents for electronic or digitized copies of the SLMs,
VLs, LASs and other learning resources available should be granted.
Page | 14
The current difficult situation brought about by the COVID 19 pandemic that affected our nation made DepEd
SOCCSKSARGEN Region more innovative in ensuring the continued delivery of accessible, quality and liberating basic
education services for the learners. In light of this crisis where normal delivery of face to face instruction becomes limited and
constrained, the region is taking proactive action to provide learners with the most appropriate learning delivery modalities
that would benefit them the most.
DepEd SOCCSKSARGEN Region ensures that the learning delivery modalities that will be implemented in schools are
those that best address the needs of learners. The parents’ choice of the modalities for their children that is reflected in the
Learner Enrollment and Survey Form (LESF) shall be the basis of the modalities to be offered in schools with consideration to
access, conditions/situations, readiness, available learning resources and legal issuances.
In the context of the present situation, DepEd SOCCSKSARGEN Region will implement a combination of Online
Distance Learning, Modular Distance and TB/Radio-Based Instruction and will be supplemented with the use of video
lessons.
For reference, the next table presents the different learning delivery modalities that can possibly be implemented.
However, with constraint of face-to-face learning, the Region decides to implement a combination of modalities under
Page | 15
Distance Learning. When the health situation and legal issuances would permit the conduct of face-to-face learning, the
Region would accordingly adapt to make the implementation of different modalities responsive to the needs of learners.

IV. ONLINE DISTANCE LEARNING (ODL) + MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING (MDL): Supplemented with Video Lessons
Description
Online Distance Learning is a modality that the teacher uses with the aid of a computer and internet connection
and the different online platforms for synchronous and asynchronous learning to deliver the content of the lesson to the
learners.
Synchronous online learning involves real-time teaching-learning engagement between the teacher and the
learners where they both go online on a specified time but at different places using the online learning platforms such
as Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom. In this modality, learners learn directly from the teacher and interaction
and feedback are in real-time.
On the other hand, asynchronous online learning involves the use of a Learning Management System (LMS) like
Google Classroom, Moodle, Edmodo and Schoology where the teacher and the learners do not necessarily access the
learning platform at the same time. The teacher provides a learning task in the LMS and learners can access and work
on them anytime. Interaction and giving of feedback are not in real time.
Page | 17
In the context of DepEd SOCCSKSARGEN Region, online distance learning also involves the use of the Modular
Distance Learning’s Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) that learners work on within a specified timeline. The lesson
presentation and discussion of the teacher during online learning is based on the SLMs however this does not limit the
teacher from providing other tasks and activities that will further enrich learning. This will also be supplemented by
video lessons that learner can watch, as many times as they can, to have a clear and deep understanding of the
concepts presented.
In this modality, there is an allowable daily screen time for synchronous online learning specified for each key
stage in the basic education cycle.
For effective implementation of online learning delivery modality, there are standard requirements that need to be
complied with and instituted for all that are involved in the learning of the children.
Teachers
a. Have knowledge and understanding how to use the internet, World Wide Web, internet browsers, websites,
online learning platforms, Open Educational Resources (OER) like DepEd Commons, educational software,
messaging applications and social media platforms.

The class program for ODL + MDL should clearly reflect the specific time each day for synchronous online
learning and the asynchronous and modular learning. This has also to include the schedule for Homeroom/Guidance
Program. The schedule for Remote Cooperative Learning is also added to encourage learners to connect and
collaborate with other learners and share their learning experiences.
The time allotted for synchronous online learning shall also be flexible considering the maximum allowable screen
time for each key stage. Schools can reduce the time for synchronous online teaching-learning to one hour every
week per subject from Grades 4 - 12 as they see fit and beneficial for the learners.
The sample class programs presented for Kindergarten to Grade 3 provide enough time in the afternoon that can
be utilized for accomplishing the modules and other learning tasks.
The sample class programs provide guidance how the different subjects and the time for synchronous and
asynchronous online learning and modular learning be organized. Schools can contextualize the programs by
Page | 27
modifying the subject placement and the time schedule for each subject and the synchronous and asynchronous
and modular learning.
Kindergarten
The class program for Kindergarten for the online distance learning follows the Blocks of Time, however the
regular time allotment for the different learning activities/blocks is reduced to make it more suitable for distance
learning. Flexibility for parent-led activities at home, like indoor/outdoor activities, is encouraged depending on the
readiness and interest of the learner.
The parent should always ensure that equipment and materials especially for online learning like the laptop or
desktop computer with enable web camera is set-up before the start of the online learning session. The signing-in
online shall be done by the parent.
During the online learning, the parent should assist the learner. Instruction from the teacher should be checked
by the parent if followed properly by the child.
Even for online distance learning in Kindergarten, lessons shall still be based on the Self-Learning Modules
(SLMs). The learning activities in the SLMs shall be followed by the teacher and performed and accomplished by the
Page | 28
learner with the guidance of the parent. Learner’s outputs and performance shall be evaluated to determine the learning
progress. This shall also be used as basis for the provision of remediation or enrichment activities that may be given to
the learner to ensure that the target knowledge, skills and attitudes are acquired.

For Grades 7 – 12, the time for synchronous online learning engagement in every subject is 2 to 3 hours a week
depending on the need to ensure that learners learn the lesson. Teachers in a class should coordinate with each other
in order to harmonize learners’ online learning schedule.
The SIGNING-IN ONLINE TIME for all learners should be 10 minutes before the start of any online synchronous
learning session. This is to check on the internet, video and audio connections.
For SHS, the number of subjects offered in every semester varies from five (5) to eight (8) subjects. With this, the
class program shall be adjusted accordingly.

Description
Modular Distance Learning is a modality that the teacher uses with the aid of the Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) to
deliver the content of the lesson to the learners at their homes with the active participation of parents or other people who
act as learning facilitators, para-teachers, tutors, learning partners, assistants, advisers, counselors or guides to ensure
that the learners focus, study and accomplish the activities in the SLM and on the different learning tasks given by the
teacher.
This modality provides the learners a great opportunity to develop independence and a sense of responsibility in
accomplishing the tasks at their own pace, and acquire better self-study learning skills as they engage themselves in the
learning concepts presented in the SLM.
Curriculum and Learning Management Division
In this modality, there is a uniform class program given to learners that guides them every day what SLMs to work
on. As the class program presents the target SLMs to be accomplished every day, this does not limit the learners from
Page | 47
working on other SLMs. Work progress on different SLMs generally depends on the learners’ pace and readiness. While the
class program provides a clear direction what SLM to work on a particular time, it also facilitates easy monitoring and
follow-up of learning activities and progress in accomplishing the SLM.
the module.
Page | 50
The MDL modality is also be supplemented with the use of video lessons that provide learners better understanding
of the lessons and concepts presented in the SLMs.
To ensure the effective implementation of modular distance learning, there are standard requirements that need
to be complied with and instituted for all that are involved in the learning of the children.
Teachers
a. Have knowledge and understanding how to effectively use the Self-Learning Modules (SLMs), the different
parts of the SLM and its purpose to develop understanding of concepts and skills
b. Organize the people/para-teachers in community to provide learning assistance to the learners
c. Know how to utilize the LR Portal and the DepEd Commons for teaching and learning
d. Clearly understand the Self-Learning Modules and how it is utilized for learning
e. Have personal or issued laptop or desktop computer and printer needed for printing learning materials and
learning activities/tasks prepared for the learners
f. Prepare the class program which reflects the schedule for working on the SLMs of the different subject areas
including the specific on-air delivery of the lesson using TV/Radio-Based Instruction if this is available in the
Page | 51
area
g. Prepare the class master list with complete contact information about the learners and their
parents/guardians such as:
Name of the learner and his/her contact number, if available
Name of parents/guardians and older siblings/relatives living with the family and their contact numbers
and educational qualifications
Complete residential address
h. Provide to the learners the needed printed copies of the Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) and Learning Activity
Sheets (LASs), and the electronic copies of the Video Lessons (VLs), textbooks and any available learning
resources in school.
i. Regularly monitor each learner’s learning progress using the Daily Learning Progress Monitoring Plan
j. Check learners’ outputs and portfolio promptly and provide immediate feedback to learners and
parents/guardians through any means of communication
k. Regularly communicates with learners and parents
l. Provide interventions such as remediation and enrichment
m. Conduct summative and quarterly assessments using appropriate online/offline tools and venues

The success of modular distance learning lies on the engagement of learners and parents in learning as there is
less direct interaction and supervisions from the teacher; with greater autonomy for learning, greater responsibility and
commitment to learning is expected. The engagement of parents in learners’ education is essential to ensure learning
success. With this, teachers need to make sure that learners and parents are equip with the proper mindset, attitude
and understanding how independent study and self-learning work to better prepare them for modular learning. They
should continuously provide guidance to the learners as they progress through different learning tasks in the module.
They should regularly communicate with learners and parents to keep track of their learning progress.
The next figure shows the process flow of learning in modular distance learning and the specific tasks of the
teacher, learners and parents/para-teachers need to perform.

Page | 56
There are two sample class programs from Grade 1 to Grade 12 presented here for the Modular Distance
Learning. The first involves a week-long accomplishment of the SLMs; that is, there is a time or period every day
from Monday to Friday that learners will work on all the SLMs. The second design involves a per day
accomplishment of 1 or 2 subject SLMs.
The class program for Kindergarten still follows the Blocks of Time with the inclusion of
Homeroom/Guidance Program to provide teachers more structured and ample time to monitor learning progress
and provide appropriate intervention.
For Modular Distance Learning, the idea of allowing learners to come up with an individual learning
plan (similar to a class program) that reflects what modules each of them wants to accomplish on a
particular day and time was considered. However, after a thorough study of the matter, it was found out
that with the big number of learners in a class, the subject teachers will have difficulty monitoring the
Curriculum and Learning Management Division
learners, that is why there are uniform class program designs prepared that learners will have to adopt for
working on the different subjects’ SLMs.
Page | 57
For any additional subjects under Special Interest Programs (STE, SPJ, SPFL, SPS and SPA) and ALIVE
Program, the time in the class program can be extended, and the time allotted for remote cooperative learning
can be fully utilized for the subjects.
Kindergarten
Kindergarten learners, to have a good grasp of the concepts and skills they are taught, need somebody to
guide and assist them. Hence, for the modular distance learning, the role of the parents or somebody is
imperative.
The next table provides guidance to parent-teachers of the specific activities and tasks to do for each Block
of Time. They need to familiarize them to be able to help the learners and ensure that they learn the skills and
concepts presented.
Following this table is a class program for Kindergarten under the Modular Distance Learning that still
follows the Block of Time with reduced time allocation per block or activity.

VI. TV/RADIO-BASED INSTRUCTION (TV/RBI) + MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING (MDL): SUPPLEMENTED WITH
VIDEO LESSONS
Description
TV/Radio Based Instruction is a modality that the teacher uses to deliver the content of the lesson to the learners
with the use of television or radio stations that run on-air lesson episodes that are recorded for the different Self-
Page | 81
Learning Modules.
This modality is used for areas where TV and radio broadcasts are available.
In this modality, radio scripts are developed and are anchored on the SLMs. Also, learners will be provided with
video lessons based from the different contents of the SLM that they can watch at home.
To maximize the use of this modality for learning, the following standard requirements are expected to be met:
Teachers
a. Have complete list of TV and radio stations that run the lesson episodes for TV/RBI.
b. Have knowledge of the specific location of learners as within reach of the broadcast
c. Keep records of learners that watch/listen to the TV/radio broadcast
d. Have knowledge of the reach of the TV or radio broadcast.
n. Have knowledge and understanding how to effectively use the Self-Learning Modules (SLMs), the different
parts of the SLM and its purpose to develop understanding of concepts and skills
w. Check learners’ outputs and portfolio promptly and provide immediate feedback to learners and
parents/guardians through any means of communication

TV/Radio-Based Instruction
Lesson Episode Scheduling
The Lesson Episode Scheduling presented here provides guidance on what grade level and subject area shall be aired
on a particular time and day. This will serve as guide when partnering with TV or radio stations that offer a time slot for
TV/RBI; for example, Radio X offers the time slot 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM daily to DepEd, then that time slot will be utilized for
airing lesson episodes for Grade 4 subjects from Monday to Friday, one (1) or two (2) SHS Core subjects on Saturday, and
another one (1) or two (2) SHS Applied/Specialized subjects on Sunday.
As reflected in the schedule, SHS subjects are scheduled on Saturdays, Sundays and from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM. It is to
be noted that some SHS subjects can either be offered in Grade 11 or Grade 12, or in first semester or second semester, so
Page | 88
the scheduling of subjects in Grade 11 and Grade 12 is not uniform in all schools. This has to be considered in choosing what
particular SHS subject shall be aired when there is limited airtime slot for TV/RBI.
In the TV/RBI Lesson Episode Scheduling, each subject area per grade level is allotted either 30 or 60 minutes per
week. The time allocation for each subject area shall be used as basis for determining the length and coverage of the video
lessons or radio script that is based on the Self-Learning Modules (SLMs).
The schedule for accomplishing the SLMs under this modality should follow the class program presented per
grade level in the Modular Distance Learning, however, schools are encouraged to make adjustments with the time
and subject placement to consider the schedule of TV/RBI lesson episode, provided it is convenient to the learners.
VII. IMPLEMENTING SPECIAL EDUCATION (SPED) IN THE NEW NORMAL: TRANSITION PROGRAM AND NON-GRADED
The class programs for Transition Program and Non-Graded learners are designed based on the combination of online
learning and modular learning. As strongly recommended, teachers will coordinate with the parents on the schedule of online
sessions as well as on the necessary arrangements of the appropriate class scheduling suitable for the distance learning.
Learner’s outputs and performance shall be evaluated to determine the learning progress. This shall also be used as basis for
the provision of remediation that may be given to the learner to ensure that the target knowledge, skills and attitudes are
acquired therefore, the parent’s assistance, attention and commitment to teach his own child is greatly encouraged.

Testimonies of parents and other adults including community leaders aside from teachers may also be considered in the
assessment.
Where face-to-face learning and blended learning is possible, summative tests will be administered in school. For
learners who are on distance learning, summative tests may be administered when physical classes shall be allowed in their
respective areas.
National examinations are a necessary part of quality assurance, and provide important feedback on the system’s
performance as regards curricular reforms, professional development of teachers and educational leaders, provision of
financial resources and learning materials, and student’s learning outcome. Thus, the administration of national
examinations shall continue amidst COVID-19.
DepEd shall issue specific guidelines on assessments taking into consideration the physical limitations imposed by
COVID-19.

School Year 2020 – 2021 in the Light of COVID-19 Public Health Emergency”
For all learning delivery modalities implemented in school there should be a tracking mechanism for learning progress.
The following information shall be properly captured and recorded by every subject teacher:
Target SLM to be accomplished daily/weekly: Subject area SLM and Module Number
SLMs and parts of the SLM accomplished at the end of the week
Learners’ record of performances or scores in every assessment in the SLM, portfolio assessment and other assessment
activities
Specific difficulties encountered by learners in accomplishing the SLM and other learning tasks
Date of submission of accomplished SLMs and outputs
Reason/s for the delayed submission of accomplished SLMs, outputs and learning portfolios
Record of SLMs, learning portfolios or tasks not accomplished or submitted
Based on the information gathered on learner’s performance, the subject teacher should promptly give feedback and
guidance to learners and parents. When there is difficulty understanding the concept or doing the task, the subject teacher
should provide specific intervention such as, but not limited to, home visitation and tutorial, additional learning activity, and

X. STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS ISSUES AND CONCERNS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DIFFERENT LEARNING
DELIVERY MODALITIES
The next table presents the different issues and concerns that may cropped up in the implementation of each modality
and the strategies that can be employed to address them. There can be other issues and concerns that may have not been
captured, but the basic principle we live to deal on these issues and concerns is that “For every problem there is a
solution”, and eventually, collectively as a team we can work things out and find the best solution to every problem.

NOTICE TO ALL
This Implementation Guide version 1.0 for the Different Learning Delivery Modalities to be
implemented
Page | 114 in SOCCSKSARGEN Region was crafted to provide proper guidance to schools on the
implementation of the different learning delivery modalities.
The need to come up with this Implementation Guide is COMPELLING and URGENT as the
school opening is so fast approaching and our learners, parents, teachers, school leaders, DepEd
SOCCSKSARGEN Region personnel and education stakeholders must know how these modalities are
implemented; what are the infrastructure, facilities and equipment required; what are the roles,
functions and responsibilities of each one involved in the education of the children; and how we can
mobilize everyone and take appropriate action to ensure equitable and quality basic education for
our learners.
Some provisions in this Implementation Guide will be further improved and aligned accordingly with
DepEd CO policy issuances.
