It must also be committed to become an effecti delivering quality educational programs and services. DepEd enjoins participating private schools to ensure that ESC student grantee academically challenging junior high school education in an environment of values, trust and loyalty. ESC grantees along with other p high school students will have acquired the knowledge and developed the skills necessary for success in higher educational pursuits a range of careers. The Department of Education (DepEd) has commissioned the Private Education Assistance Committee (PEAC) - through its Nationa to establish a quality assurance certification mechanism that would confirm ESC participating private junior high schools’ compliance w standards for recognition. A certified ESC school therefore is one which has complied with all DepEd standards, adheres to applic policies, and meets the requirements of the self-study procedure prescribed by PEAC National Secretariat ESC Certification Unit. assessment instrument, an ESC school is assisted to determine its strength and potentials for becoming a more effective educational i The government through the Department of Education has looked into the facilities and physical resources of the school prior to th recognition. Therefore, this assessment instrument focuses more on the functional use of these facilities and resources rather than thereof. Framework and Standards A basic framework of a quality education system is one that succeeds in meeting its own goals; one that is relevant to the needs communities and society; and one that fosters the ability of students to acquire knowledge and critical learning skills. Quality is not th keeping students out of school, but when effective learning is not taking place in schools, parents are more likely to withdraw their son from school early or not to send them at all. Improving quality is therefore essential to achieving the goal of universal access to and c basic education. This ESC School (Re-) Certification Instrument is basically designed to assess the extent of compliance with the DepEd Minim Standards as well as to evaluate the school’s characteristics, its qualitative traits of excellence, and its level of performance. This assurance tool aimed at building effective and high performing junior high schools through continuous focused improvement efforts. I the school and certifiers in evaluating the different areas to achieve quality student performance and organizational effectiveness: A. School Philosophy, Vision, Mission, Goals/Objectives B. Instructional Program C. School Personnel: Faculty and Non-Teaching Personnel D. Student Services E. Administration and Governance F. School Budget and Finances G. Institutional Planning and Development Format of the Survey Instrument Each standard area is introduced by an explanatory paragraph on the basis of evaluation. The Area Mean is the average rating sc items in the Area. Assigned weights of the Areas as shown below indicate their relative importance in relation to the total evaluation. The “School Philosophy, Goals and Objectives” Area serves as the philosophical framework of the survey. It determines the c guideposts in evaluating the school.

A Summary of Best Features and Recommendations by Area i Annex B. Rating Scale and Compliance Status The rating of each statement must be based on verifiable facts and evidences, interviews with concerned stakeholders, and a rate observations, assessment and evaluation. Each statement shall be scored in a scale of 4 to 1 with “4” being the most desirable cond being the least desirable state. The “0” indicates that the minimum standard is not complied with at all. The “Comment” boxes provided in the instrument are to be used to explain briefly the items rated “0” [missing or no compliance]. Extent of Compliance with DepEd Minimum Rating Description Standards Provision or condition is very extensive and functioning 4 Approaching Excellence excellently Provision or condition is extensive and functioning very Exceeding the Minimum satisfactorily; provision or condition is very satisfactory 3 Standard and functioning extensively; provision or condition is very satisfactory and functioning very satisfactorily Practicing the Minimum Provision or condition is satisfactorily met and functioning 2 Standard satisfactorily Approaching the Minimum 1 Provision or condition is limited and fairly functioning Standard Missing the Required 0 Provision or condition is missing but necessary Minimum Standard An ESC school with an overall rating of “2” and higher is to be given a certification status valid for three school years. An overall ratin “4” indicates that the school may be ready for voluntary accreditation, a category which is above the minimum standards of DepEd. However, if an ESC school has an overall rating lower than "2", the school is given one (1) year to implement the recommendations g the school fail to get an overall rating of "2" after the revisit, the school shall automatically be disqualified to participate in the ESC Pr Department of Education. How to Compute: 1. The Area Mean: Add all the ratings divided by the number of items. 2. The Overall Mean: Multiply each area mean by the respective area weight (Please refer to the “Areas” ESC F1 CERTIFICATION ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENT SY 2016-2017 3 and their equivalent “Weights” in Annex A). Add up these products and divide the sum by 40, which is the total weight value of the various areas. A.
