4. Immediate dissemination of and strict compliance with this Order is directed.
This was revealed by Jennifer Monje, co-author of the study “‘Starting Where the
Children Are’: A Process Evaluation of the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual
Education Implementation”
---------------------
“The design of the MTB-MLE is that there is only one mother tongue to which the
Filipino and English are added. Even when regions are deemed monolingual.
like for example in the NCR, there were several schools with many languages
because students come from all over the Philippines and they bring with them their
languages,” Monje explained.
The study also found a lack of common understanding and wrong appreciation of
the program among teachers, resulting in their dissatisfaction and unhappiness
because of “additional workload”.
In terms of service delivery and utilization, Monje said that “all elements of the
program had not been in place,” with problems such as lack of learning materials.
“We saw that there were many places where there weren’t any books that teachers
could use. Sometimes, lessons were created on the fly or sometimes the teachers
themselves would have to source out materials and use them for teaching kids.”
There is no wide range of the words or phrases used in discussing the lesson
using mother tongue.
The learners cannot interact well during the discussion because the pupils
are not that fluent in using the same mother tongues.
