-CABARROGUIS, Quirino, April 30 (PIA) -- An official of the Department of Education (DepEd) here has assured that the division is now ready to implement the K-to-12, which requires students to undergo kindergarten plus 12 years of basic education in the coming school year 2012-2013 in June.
+CABARROGUIS, Quirino, May 1 (PIA) -- Majority of barangay leaders in the province have asked the government to act on the continuing increase in prices of prime and basic commodities, services and unabated oil price hikes and low buying price of farm products during the conduct of the synchronized barangay assembly recently.
-Under the new curriculum, the incoming Grade 1 students will be required to undertake the new curriculum, which means finishing basic education in 2023 after completing Grade 11.
+In the barangay reports consolidated by the Department of the Interior and Local Government here, barangay leaders have raised the plight of their constituents stressing that they are receiving complaints and feedback everyday that their barangay mates could no longer cope with the high prices of commodities in the market due to the low buying prices of their farm products.
-Cynthia Indunan, administrative officer said there is no problem in classrooms because those that were destroyed during the previous typhoons were already repaired.
+Other concerns include sustaining the solid waste management, national greening program and strengthening of barangay disaster management programs.
-“Classroom shortage is not a problem in our division because of our supportive provincial government under the leadership of Gov. Junie E. Cua,” Indunan said.
+Some barangays of Diffun also proposed for the amendment of the Internal Revenue Allotment sharing, increasing the share of the barangays, being the frontline institution of the government, so that they can cope with the increasing needs of their constituents.
-In its 2011 report, DepEd Quirino has maintained a ratio of one classroom for every 24.26 students in the elementary and 35.10 students in the secondary level.
+Further, the barangays also asked the government to relax the provision of the DILG-Department of Budget Management Circular on the use of the 20 percent development fund so that they could accommodate other projects.
-Likewise, the report stated that the division of Quirino has 1,405 teachers, and the ratio is at 25.84 pupils per teacher in the elementary, and 27.67 students per one teacher in the secondary level.
+Meanwhile, based on the monitoring of the DILG, majority of the 132 barangays of the province have conducted the barangay assembly for the first semester as scheduled, only five barangays of Aglipay conducted ahead because they had to consider the availability of the barangay people.

-“Those schools in need of teachers were addressed immediately through the deployment of locally funded teachers of the so-called Local School Board,” Indunan said.
-As to the teachers’ preparedness for the K-to-12 program, Indunan assured that they will be given sufficient in-service training to implement the program. Pre-service training for aspiring teachers will also be modified to conform to the requirements of the program.
-Further, some teachers were also sent to the national trainers’ training, who in turn will be conducting the regional and division trainings for the whole month of May.
-Indunan also said they have already started conducting advocacy to the stakeholders such as local officials, Parents-Teachers associations and the Quirino Chamber of Commerce and Industries. “So far, we have not received any negative reactions from them,” she said. (TCB-PIA Quirino)
