Bachelor of Industrial Technology

Most state (and some private) universities offer Bachelor of Industrial Technology with the corresponding majors to the applicants’ skills under their ETEEAP. But what are these degrees? Are they considered bachelors degree? And what are their equivalent?

Let us take a closer look at this field. We will use the Commission on Higher Education Memorandum Order, which was signed and released on September 5, 2023 by CHED and called CMO-No-13-Series of 2023-BInd-Tech (CMO-13-S2023).

We only uploaded the image of the first 5 pages on this post as this is a 161-page document. If you want to see all the pages, you may click/tap on the links to either the CHED website or from our resource link below. Documents from these links contain exactly the same information.

We don’t need to expound about this topic as the information on first 5 pages of the CMO on the following images are enough to explain what these programs are and their equivalent. Suffice to mention here the information found at Section 5, number 5 on page 4. Here is what it says:

Allied programs for Industrial Technology are Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Engineering Management, Statistics, Business Administration, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Information Technology, Electronics Engineering and Engineering Technology.

CHED CMO No. 13, Series of 2023 – September 5, 2023

A copy of the CMO can be viewed and downloaded here.

Factory Workers

Share this page

Para sa mga factory worker na nais magkaroon ng degree, gusto din namin kayong matulungan kung paano kayo mag-apply sa ETEEAP at kung ano ang inyong ibigay na information kapag kayo ay mag-enquire.

Tulad ng ibang degree, kailangang kompleto din ang impormasyon na ibigay ninyo. Kulang yung sabihin niyong “factory worker”, “all-around” o “production”. Ang ganitong sagot ay walang katapat na degree na pwedeng i-alok ng kahit anong ETEEAP school.

Kaya upang magabayan kayo sa tamang direction, ito ang impormasyon na kailangan ninyong ibigay kapag kayo ay mag-apply, o mag-enquire. Kailangang masagot ninyo nang kompletong impormasyon ang mga tanong na ito.

Ano yung detalyadong trabaho ninyo bilang factory worker?

Kailangang detalyado ang gawain ninyo sa factory sapagkat magkakaibang degree ang katapat ng bawat trabaho. Kahit pa all-around ay siguradong may isa o dalawang “specific function” na mas doon kayo naka-focus.

Nandito ang mga halimbawa ng factory job descriptions na pwedeng ma-evaluate ng ilang school para mabigyan ng degree:

Machine Operator: Ito yung mga pag-isipan ninyo na detalye na pwedeng pagkuhanan ng evaluation points na pwede ninyong isama sa inyong DFR:

  • Anong machine ang hawak mo, ilang machine at gaano mo katagal na ino-operate ang mga yun?
  • Ikaw din ba ang gumagawa ng trouble-shooting pag nagka-aberya?
  • May kasama din bang electrical system yung mga makina na hawak mo?
  • Computerized ba yung mga machine?
  • Ikaw ba ang nag-assemble at nagpapalit ng mge piyesa ng mga makina?

Kung ganito ang mga hawak mo sa factory ay pwede kang makapag-enroll ng Bachelor of Industrial Technology, Mechanical Technology major (BIT-Mechanical). Ang pinakamurang mga school na mayroon niyan ay PSU at DMMMSU.

Puntahan niyo ang link ng PSU dito: PSU ETEEAP Page

Puntahan niyo ang link ng DMMMSU dito: DMMMSU ETEEAP Page


Production (Semiconductor and Electronics): Ito yung mga pag-isipan ninyo na detalye na pwedeng pagkuhanan ng evaluation points na pwede ninyong isama sa inyong DFR:

  • Anong produkto ang ginagawa mo?
  • Aling bahagi sa production ang specific na function mo?
  • Electronics devices at/o semiconductor ba ang products?
  • Anong mga specific na items ang ginagawa ng factory ninyo?
  • Ilang taon mong hawak ang trabahong yan?

Kung ganito ang mga hawak mo sa factory ay pwede kang makapag-enroll ng Bachelor of Industrial Technology, Electronics Technology major (BIT-Electronics). Ang pinakamurang mga school na mayroon niyan ay PSU at DMMMSU.

Puntahan niyo ang link ng PSU dito: PSU ETEEAP Page

Puntahan niyo ang link ng DMMMSU dito: DMMMSU ETEEAP Page


Production (Garments factory): Ito yung mga pag-isipan ninyo na detalye na pwedeng pagkuhanan ng evaluation points na pwede ninyong isama sa inyong DFR:

  • Anong produkto ang ginagawa ninyo?
  • Aling bahagi sa production ang specific na function mo?
  • Anong specific na garment ang ginagawa ninyo?
  • Anong section sa production ang hawak mo?
  • Ilang taon mong hawak ang trabahong yan?

Kung ganito ang trabaho mo sa factory ay pwede kang makapag-enroll ng Bachelor of Industrial Technology, Garments and Fashion Design major (BIT-Garments and Fashion Design). Ang pinakamurang mga school na mayroon niyan ay PSU.

Puntahan niyo ang link ng PSU dito: PSU ETEEAP Page


Office (Staff Admin or Quality Controller): Ito yung mga pag-isipan ninyo na detalye na pwedeng pagkuhanan ng evaluation points na pwede ninyong isama sa inyong DFR:

  • Quality controller ba ang department mo?
  • Pinangangasiwaan mo ba ang HR department?
  • Kasama ba sa trabaho mo ang office supply management?
  • Hawak mo ba ang mga legal aspect ng kompanya?
  • May oversight ka ba sa logistics needs ng kompanya?
  • Ilang taon mong hawak ang trabahong yan?

Kung ganito ang trabaho mo sa factory ay pwede kang makapag-enroll ng Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) o kaya Bachelor of Science in Office Administration (BSOA). May listahan tayo ng mga school na deputized ng CHED para sa BSBA at BSOA dito sa link.

BSBA-BSOA Deputized Institutions.


Yan ay ilan lamang sa mga trabaho sa factory na possibleng ma-evaluate para mabigyan ng degree. Pagkatapos ninyong ibigay ang detalye ng trabaho niyo ay ihuli ninyo ang inyong educational attainment at iba pang mga training certificate at iba pang mga credential ninyo. Kung kakapusin man kayo ng evaluation points ay magbibigay ang school ng advice kung ano pa ang pwede ninyong gawin para ma-kompleto ang kailangan ninyong score para sa enrollment sa ETEEAP.

Isang mahalagang payo na uulitin lang natin: Ang ETEEAP ay work experience based kaya kailangan ninyong maintindihan ang sistemang ito. Hindi kayo pwedeng mamili ng degree na hindi akma sa inyong trabaho. Para sa kompletong impormasyon tungkol dito ay pwede ninyong puntahan ang mga link sa karagdagang impormasyon sa ibaba kung hindi pa ninyo nakikita ang mga ito.

Isa pang mahalagang advice. Sa ETEEAP ay importante ang pagiging attentive sa instruction at palabasa sa ibinibigay na link, infographics o iba pang material. Kapag napansin ng school admin na hindi kayo ganyan baka ibagsak nila kayo. Halimbawa, may ibinigay na infographics o link sa inyo at nagtanong kayo na ang sagot ay nandoon sa kakabigay lang na material, at paulit-ulit na ganyan, magiging problema yan na attitude kapag naka-enroll na kayo. Kaya ang ilang school ay hindi na tinatanggap ang mga aplikante na ganyan.

May iba pa tayong karagdagang impormasyon dito sa ibaba.

Para sa iba pang mga enquiry, pakisundan ang procedure na ito.

  • Work experience (At least 5 years straight or aggregate in the same field). Makakatulong ang impormasyon sa link na ito: Sino and Pwede sa ETEEAP
  • Other work experiences. Kahit yung nakaraang trabaho ninyo.
  • Education level na natapos.
  • Your age (optional if you are above 23)
  • Preferred degree (If relevant to work experience. If you are in the BPO or factory and you want to take up nursing, it is not relevant.)
  • Gumawa kayo ng CV ninyo. May sample tayo sa link na ito: Sample Documents
  • Humanap ng school na may offer sa degree na akma sa inyong trabaho. May link sa listahan ng mga school sa ibaba.
  • Itanong sa ETEEAP admin ng school na napili ninyo kung paano ninyo maipadala ang mga requirement ninyo para kayo ay ma-evaluate.
    Nandito ang link sa listahan ng mga deputized school ng CHED (ETEEAP DHEIs). May naidagdag pa mula noong January 2022 pero hindi pa na-update ng CHED.

Another important point: Karamihang ETEEAP schools ngayon ay hindi face to face. Either online or modular sila, o kaya ay hybrid online-modular. Ito ay para sa mga OFW na magkakaiba ang time zones at hindi rin makauwi para mag-aral, o hindi rin convenient para sa online synchronous learning. Kaya hindi kailangang sa inyong lugar ang school na hanapin ninyo.

DH Applicants

Share this page

Para sa mga Domestic Helper na nais magkaroon ng degree, gusto din namin kayong matulungan at ito ang pwede ninyong ibigay na information kapag kayo ay mag-enquire.

Tulad ng ibang degree, kailangang kompleto din ang impormasyon na ibigay ninyo. Kulang yung sabihin niyong “sa bahay lang ako”, o “all around ang trabaho ko”. Ang ganitong sagot ay walang katapat na degree na pwedeng i-alok ng kahit anong ETEEAP school.

Ito ang impormasyon na kailangan ninyong ibigay kapag kayo ay mag-apply. Kailangang masagot ninyo ng kompletong impormasyon ang mga tanong na ito.

Ano yung mga trabaho ninyo bilang DH?

Kailangang detalyado ang gawain ninyo sa bahay sapagkat magkakaibang degree ang katapat ng bawat trabaho. Kahit pa all-around ay siguradong may isa o dalawang gawain sa loob ng bahay na mas doon kayo naka-focus.

Nandito ang mga halimbawa ng trabaho na pwedeng ma-evaluate ng ilang school para mabigyan ng degree:

  • Nanny tutor ka ba? Paki-detalye ang ginagawa mo as tutor, dahil baka pwede kang ma-qualify sa education degree. Kung third year college ka na nanny-tutor at mahigit 5 taon mong trabaho yan ay pwede kang makapag-enroll ng BS Education degree sa PSU.
  • Ikaw ba ang tagaluto at kasama na dito ang kitchen management at pamamalengke? May inaalagaan ka bang sensitive sa diet, at anu-anong mga pagkain ang inihahanda mo? Gaano katagal mong trabaho ito? Ilan ang ipinagluluto mo at may iba ka pa bang mga gawain na may connection sa paguluto at pag-manage ng cooking facility at dining room? Katulad din ito ng pagta-trabaho sa mga resort at canteen o mga eatery. Ang mga gawaing ito ay pwede sa Bachelor of Industrial Technology, Major in Food Service Management sa PSU.
  • Ikaw ba ay gardener at gumagawa din ng maintenance ng bahay ng amo mo? Anong scope nito at gaano katagal? Kasama ba dito ang carpentry, electrical at pumbing maintenance? Kahit isa o dawalang bahay lang kung naka-focus ka sa mga ito sa limang taon o mahigit pa ay baka pwede ka sa Bachelor of Industrial Technology, Major in Civil Technology sa PSU.
  • Ikaw ba ay driver at kasama na rin ba diyan ang maintenance at trouble shooting ng mga problema ng sasakyan ng amo mo? Ano ang kasama sa gawain mong ito at gaano katagal? Baka pwede ka sa Bachelor of Industrial Technology, Major in Automotive Technology sa PSU.

Yan ay ilan lamang sa mga trabaho ng mga DH na possibleng ma-evaluate para mabigyan ng degree. Pagkatapos ninyong ibigay ang detalye ng trabaho niyo ay ihuli ninyo ang inyong educational attainment at iba pang mga training certificate at iba pang mga credential ninyo. Kung kukulangin man kayo ng score sa evaluation ay magbibigay ang school ng advice kung ano pa ang pwede ninyong gawin para ma-kompleto ang kailangan ninyong score para sa enrollment sa ETEEAP.

Isang mahalagang payo lang: Pero huwag naman kayong mangarap ng nursing kung kayo ay nag-aalaga ng mga matatanda nang mga amo dahil mataas ang requirement ng nursing degree. Kahit pa sa ospital kayo nag-trabaho ay mahirap pa ring makakuha ng nursing degree sa ETEEAP.

Isa pang mahalagang impormasyon. Sa ETEEAP ay importante ang pagiging attentive sa instruction at palabasa sa ibinibigay na link, infographics o iba pang material. Kapag napansin ng school admin na hindi kayo ganyan baka ibagsak nila kayo. Halimbawa, may ibinigay na infographics o link sa inyo at nagtanong kayo na ang sagot ay nandoon sa kakabigay lang na material, at paulit-ulit na ganyan, magiging problema yan na attitude kapag naka-enroll na kayo. Kaya ang ilang school ay hindi na tinatanggap ang mga ganyan.

ETEEAP Enquiry Guide

Share this page

ETEEAP Enquiry Guide

Para sa mga nais mag-inquire, pakisundan ang format na ito para magabayan namin kayo sa tamang landas (kasama na ang mga anonymous posts/enquiries sa Facebook group at page). At pakatandaan na ang ETEEAP ay nag-a-award ng degree na naaayon sa inyong work experiences.

Mga impormasyon na kailangan sa pag-enquire:

  • Work experience (At least 5 years straight or aggregate in the same field). Makakatulong ang impormasyon sa link na ito: Sino and Pwede sa ETEEAP
  • Other work experiences. Kahit yung nakaraang trabaho ninyo.
  • Education level na natapos.
  • Your age (optional if you are above 23)
  • Preferred degree (If relevant to work experience. If you are in the BPO or factory and you want to take up nursing, it is not relevant.)
  • Gumawa kayo ng CV ninyo. May sample tayo sa link na ito: Sample Documents
  • Humanap ng school na may offer sa degree na akma sa inyong trabaho. May link sa listahan ng mga school sa ibaba.
  • Itanong sa ETEEAP admin ng school na napili ninyo kung paano ninyo maipadala ang mga requirement ninyo para kayo ay ma-evaluate.
    Nandito ang link sa listahan ng mga deputized school ng CHED (ETEEAP DHEIs). May naidagdag pa mula noong January 2023 pero hindi pa na-update ng CHED.

Another important point: Karamihang ETEEAP schools ngayon ay hindi face to face. Either online or modular sila, o kaya ay hybrid online-modular. Ito ay para sa mga OFW na magkakaiba ang time zones at hindi rin makauwi para mag-aral, o hindi rin convenient para sa online synchronous learning. Kaya hindi kailangang sa inyong lugar ang school na hanapin ninyo.

Please take note on the following questions that we cannot answer:
1) Tuition and fee schedules unless the school is in our featured institutions.
2) Learning and transaction procedures.
3) Enrollment schedules.

Yung mga school ang makakasagot niyan.

Para maiwasan din ang hindi kinakailangan na extrang trabaho ng mga evaluator sa school ay pakitingnan ninyo ang self-evaluation guide sa ibaba. Ito ay para hindi masayang ang kanilang oras sa pag-evaluate sa mga document na hindi relevant sa mga offerded degree nila.

How to self-evaluate

Mga karaniwang tanong ng mga aplikante sa ETEEAP:
– Pwede bang mamili ng degree?
– Anong degree ang akma sa akin?
– Paano kung undergraduate ako ng isang degree?


Pwedeng ba akong mamili ng degree?

Hindi, kung iisang field ang work experience at 5 years lang. Ito ay kapit sa mga less than 30 years old.

Oo, kung may dalawa o tatlong field ka na work experience at tig-limang taon ang bawat isa. Ibig sabihin ay 10 to 15 years ka nang nagtatrabaho, at ang iyong edad ay nasa pagitan ng 33 at 40 (o mas matanda pa).

Halimbawa:

Undergraduate ka ng nursing. Nagtrabaho ka ng 15 years sa mga field na ito:

1) Electronics components/semiconductor (5 years)
2) Service crew, cook at cashier ng isang restaurant (5 years)
3) Pina-manage sa iyo ng tiyuhin mo ang isang branch ng grocery store nila (5 years)

Tanong: Pwede mo bang ituloy yung nursing mo sa ETEEAP?

Sagot: Hindi

Anong mga degree ang pwede sa iyo? Doon sa mga experience field sa itaas ito ang mga katapat.

1) BIT Electronics major
2)
BIT Food Service Management major
3)
BSBA

Dito ngayon papasok ang pwedeng makadalawang degree ang isang aplikante sa ETEEAP.

Who We Are

Share this page

This site was set up to help our visitors understand what ETEEAP is. We disseminate information about a program instituted by the Philippine government that helped many Filipinos reach their secular goals. Our developers and contributors are members of communities who had experienced the lives of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) first hand, and this inspired them to create a place where one can get all the needed information about ETEEAP.

Many of the estimated ten million Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and migrants were forced beyond their control to forego pursuing the necessary education that qualify them to a job position but were nevertheless given the chance by their employers. As they continued working they had gained much experiences more than what they would have learned inside the classrooms had they first pursued the education related to such jobs. Others were able to gain much work experiences while performing certain functions in different institutions, while others had set up their own businesses that thrived throughout the years that some of these had become models in their respective fields. However, because of the prevailing culture of today where a piece of paper is more preferred as an evidence of one’s qualification more than the real ability, experience and capability the person possesses, a solution was provided to fill the gap, the ETEEAP. The information here will benefit not just the OFWs but all Filipino nationals whether they are at home or overseas.

We however would like to emphasize that we are not a school or entity that offers courses or degrees, and we do not represent any education institution. However, we feature for free colleges and universities that offer their programs through the ETEEAP if they wish. You can find them including the complete information about their programs on this link. Please feel free to explore this website as we have most, if not all, of the information you need to understand and get the whole picture of what ETEEAP is. These can also help you decide and prepare in case you want to avail of these services from one of the Deputized HEIs (DHEI) of the CHEd.

For education institutions, companies,teachers, tech enthusiasts and hobbyists who want to set up their IT system, we also provide services in this area which includes website setup (domain registration, hosting and building), Google Workspace (formerly called G Suite) setup assistance, IT infrastructure setup, server setup and other relevant systems. We have experienced and qualified people and business partners who are ready to help you.

You may tap or click on the different links below that will take you to where you can find the information you need. We also appreciate feed backs and questions that will help us improve our site and add necessary and relevant information that are helpful to others.

Finally, we also acknowledge that no matter how noble our intention is to provide informative articles and guidance to our visitors and friends who are looking for the answers to their questions, we also need the financial assistance to keep this site running. Some visitors are asking how to donate to help in this endeavor, so we have provided a donate button for this purpose on the upper right hand corner of the page as well as on the ‘Contact Us’ at the bottom of the page. You may also click here to send your donation. Thank you for your generosity and we will do our best to make this site as useful as we can.

Learning Certificates

Additional Learning Certificates

You may have skills that you acquired from your years of experiences in your workplace but you cannot produce certificates to prove such except for the recommendations and employment certificates provided by your employer. Many HEIs are requiring skill-specified certificates that were earned from learning institutions and training centers and most of them accept those that were taken up online.

We have a few suggestions here that may help you. These are already established online learning sites and some of their learning modules are used by some universities and colleges as part of their learning resources.

Create an account with LinkedIn here and complete your profile. Then visit their learning sites here where you can find their free lessons and take up an examination at the end of each lesson. You can then download the certificates that you can use as credentials.

They have one month free trial on premium accounts that you may want to take advantage of where you can find premium lessons. You may continue with the paid premium account at the end of the trial period if you wish.

Google also offers online lessons in different topics. They have free lessons but if you want to earn a certificate, you need to pay a certain amount for each examination that you take up. You may visit their learning site here.

The Philippine government has set up a department that provides free training on different skills where one can earn a certificate at the end. You may visit their website here, and their e-learning site here.

Magkano

Share this page

Ito ang kadalasang itinatanong ng mga intresadong mag-aral sa pamamagitan ng ETEEAP. Walang piho o tiyak na kasagutan sa tanong na ito. Katulad ng nabanggit sa article na “Ano Ang ETEEAP?“, kailangan munang mag-submit ng mga credentials ang isang aplikante para masuri at malaman kung alin sa mga subject at unit ang kinakailangan niyang tapusin at ang pwedeng mabigyan ng CLC.

Kapag natapos ang pagsusuri o evaluation ng mga credentials, mag-aabiso na ang eskuwelahan sa aplikante kung ano ang resulta kasama na rin ang assessment kung saan nakasaad ang mga subject na kailangan pa niyang i-enroll. Masusunod pa rin ang standard na bayarin ng isang regular na estudyante.

Kaya hindi masasagot agad ng mga DHEI ang tanong na “Magkano ang magagasto?” o “Magkano ang tuition?” hanggang hindi naibibigay ng aplikante ang kanyang mga credentials. May kinalaman sa tuition pareho lang din sa bawat unit ikaw man ay ETEEAP o regular student. Kaya ang makakasagot din nito ay ang mga DHEI kung saan nais mag-enroll ang isang estudyante, at kadalasan ay nasa website o Facebook Page nila ang detalye ng impormasyon na ito bagaman hindi nagkakalayo ang presyo sa ibat-ibang eskuwelahan.

Narito ang isang halimbawa ng assesment sa isang DHEI. Ang inaaplayang degree ng estudyante ay Master of Arts in Administration and Supervision (MAAS). Makikita rin ang mga sample na dokumento sa mga link na nasa dulo ng page na ito: https://eteeap.org/bcu/.

Note: Ang sample na assessment form na nasa ibaba ay sadyang tinakpan ang pangalan ng university at estudyante.

Para sa iba pang mga katanungan ninyo tungkol sa ETEEAP, maari niyo ring tingnan ang mga link na nasa ibaba.

Kasama na din dito ang ilang komento nila tungkol sa aplikante.

(Note: Ang graduate degree ay hindi na inaalok sa ETEEAP mula noong December 2021)

Para sa mga document na kailangan ninyo, nandito ang link para sa application form at sample ng DFR, CV, COE at application letter.

Enrollment Procedure:

Kapag ang school ay nag-abiso na sa aplikante na siya ay kuwalipikadong mag-enroll, ibibigay na rin sa kanya ang mga subject sa pinili niyang degree na hindi nabigyan ng Classroom Learning Credits (CLCs). Ito ang kinakailangan niyang i-enroll. Ipapaalam na rin sa kanya kung ano ang mga bayarin niya at kung paano niya babayaran ito. Bibigyan din siya ng karagdagang mga tagubilin kung ano pang mga hakbang ang kanyang gagawin upang makompleto ang kanyang pag-eenroll.

Fees and Costs:

Ang mga bayarin o fees ay malalaman lamang pagkatpaos ng evaluation ng mga isinumiteng mga dokumento ng aplikante. Walang tiyak na kasagutan ang katanungan ng karamihan na “Magkano?”. Ngunit pwedeng tantiyahin ito kung alam natin ang tuition per unit sa HEI at kung ilang unit ang pwedeng i-enroll sa isang semester ng mga regular na estudyante nila. Pagkatapos ay idagdag natin ang iba pang mga fee katulad ng enrollment at iba pang mga miscellaneous fee.

Para matantiya ang gagastusin ng isang estudyante ng ETEEAP hanggang sa matapos siya gamit ang impormasyon para sa regular ng mga estudyante, karamihan sa mga kumukuha ng bachelors degree ay natatapos nila ito sa isa hanggang dalawang semester. Ang mga kumukuha naman ng Masters dergree ay natatapos sa dalawa hanggang tatlong semester (Sa ngayon ay pansamantalang itinigil ng CHED ang graduate degree -Masterate and Doctorate programs- sa ETEEAP). Kadalasan na hindi isang bayaran ang buong semester kundi nahahati ito sa tatlo o apat na bayaran. Ngunit may mga school na nagbibigay ng discount sa mga nagbabayad nang minsanan, at may mga school din na pwedeng magamit ang scholarship programs. Pwde ninyo silang kontakin para dito.

Sa mga online na transaction ay ipapadala ang bayad sa pamamagitan ng bank transfer o iba pang online na paraan.

May halimbawa tayo sa article na ito kung gusto ninyong tingnan:
Magkano ang ETEEAP?

Confirmation of Enrollment:

Kapag natanggap na ng school ang unang bayad, mapapadala ng email ito sa aplikante kasama na ang official receipt. Ipapaalam din sa kanila na hintayin nila ang imbitasyon ng kanilang mga propesor na mag-join sa kanilang online class o kaya kung paano nila makukuha ang kanilang mga module.

Start of Classes:

Ang mga klase sa ETEEAP ay hindi katulad ng traditional na sistema na ginagamit ng mga regular na mga estudyante. Para sa karagdagang impormasyon tungkol dito ay pwede ninyong puntahan ang link na ito kung saan ipinaliwanang nang detalyado. ETEEAP Learning Systems.

Mode of Lesson Delivery:

Tulad ng nabanggit na kanina, ang pag-aaral ng mga estudyante ng ETEEAP ay may tatlong sistema at pwedeng mag-combine ang dalawa o tatlo depende sa level ng school kung alin sa mga ito ang na-apbrubahan ng CHED na gamitn nila. Para sa karagdagang impormasyon tungkol dito ay pwede ninyong puntahan ang link na ito kung saan ipinaliwanang nang detalyado. ETEEAP Learning Systems.


Ang page na ito ay laging ina-update dahil sa mga pagbabago sa mga kaayusan sa ETEEAP at ng CHED. Ang mga pagbabagong ito ay para makaalinsabay sa pang-globong pangkalahatang sistema ng edukasyon at para na rin magiging maayos ang daloy ng pag-aaral ng mga estudyante lalo nong panahon ng Covid-19 pandemic. Ngayong balik normal na tayo ay may mga pagbabago din na ginawa ang mga school at ang iba naman ay ibinalik ang dating sinusunod nilang sistema bago mag-pandemic. Kontakin lang ninyo ang mga school para malaman ang mag ito. Pwede din kayong magpadala ng inyong mga karanasan sa pag-aaral sa ETEEAP upang maidagdag natin dito para na rin sa kapakinabangan ng iba pang mga kasalukuyang nag-aaral at gusto pang mag-aral.

Maraming salamat.

Reading Habit

Share this page

Why are reading skills very important, and what role does it play in our everyday life? How does reading help us understand ETEEAP better and help us get to the right track towards our long-awaited secular degree? An article from the Philippine Star has the following:

“Reading proficiency is essential for a wide variety of human activities – from following instructions in a manual; to finding out the who, what, when, where, and why of an event; to communicating with others for a specific purpose or transaction,” (Italicization is ours)

Philippine Star, December 3, 2019

Here is the whole article taken from the Philippine Star published on December 3, 2019. We can learn a lot about it especially now that distractions abound along with the shortened attention span of not only the younger generation but the older ones as well, and it’s not too late to do something about it. Please read on.


Philippines lowest in reading comprehension among 79 countries

Philippines lowest in reading comprehension among 79 countries

Among 79 participating countries, the Philippines scored the lowest in reading comprehension in the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), according to the results released Dec. 3, 2019..The STAR / Edd Gumban, file

MANILA, Philippines — Among 79 participating countries and economies, the Philippines scored the lowest in reading comprehension in the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), according to the results released Tuesday.

PISA is a worldwide study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development that examines students’ knowledge in reading, mathematics, and science.

Reading was the main subject assessed among 15-year old students in the 2018 PISA. The Philippines had an average reading score of 340, more than 200 points below China (555) and more than 100 points less than the OECD average (487).

In the Philippines, boys’ and girls’ performances in reading both ranked lowest among PISA-participating countries.

“Reading proficiency is essential for a wide variety of human activities – from following instructions in a manual; to finding out the who, what, when, where, and why of an event; to communicating with others for a specific purpose or transaction,” the summary of the PISA 2018 results reads.

The Philippines also placed the second-lowest in mathematics (353), along with Panama, and science (357). Only the Dominican Republic scored lower in these categories.

China also led the ranking in mathematics and science. The OECD average for mathematics is 489 and the average for science is 483.

“Results from PISA indicate the quality and equity of learning outcomes attained around the world, and allow educators and policymakers to learn from the policies and practices applied in other countries,” a post on the OECD website reads.

According to the PISA 2018 profile of the Philippines, socio-economic status accounts for 18% of the variance in reading performance in the country, compared to the OECD average of 12%.

The country has the largest percentage of low performers in reading among socio-economically disadvantaged students.

The profile noted that average class sizes of 15-year olds in the Philippines are the largest, and the ratio of students to teaching staff in socio-economically disadvantaged schools is the highest.

The Philippines also had the highest percentage of students reporting being bullied at least a few times a month.

Ano Ang ETEEAP

Share this page

Ang ETEEAP ay acronym para sa Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation Program.  Ito ay isang alternatibong programa ng edukasyon sa Pilipinas na nagbibigay ng pagkakataon sa mga Pilipinong nagtatrabaho o naghahanapbuhay na ngunit hindi pa nakapagtapos, o hindi man lang nakapag-umpisa, sa kolehiyo sa ibat-ibang kadahilanan na magpatuloy ng kanilang pag-aaral at makatapos ng kurso sa kolehiyo habang naghahanapbuhay.  Ang pag-abot nila ng kanilang kahilingan para makatapos ay hindi sa tradisyunal na paraan kundi may inilaan na natatanging sistema na sadyang inihanda para sa kanila.

Sa programa at sistemang ito, ang mga nagtatrabahong empleyado o kaya yung mga may sariling negosyo na may karanasan at kasanayan sa mga ito sa loob ng lima o higit pang taon ay pwedeng magamit na kapalit ng unit o credit ng mga asignatura o subject sa kolehiyo. Sinusuri ng ETEAAP ang mga kasanayan at karanasan sa trabaho o hanapbuhay ng isang aplikante at bibigyan nila ito ng katumbas na credit o unit para doon sa mga asignatura ng bachelors degree, o ang katumbas nito, na nais tapusin ng estudyante. Habang mas marami ang kasanayan, karanasan, mga hindi-pormal na pagsasanay, seminar at mga training na pinagdaanan at nakamit ng isang aplikante sa kanyang hanapbuhay o trabaho, mas maraming credit ang makukuha niya na ibabawas sa mga kahilingan o requirements sa kanyang mga asignatura (subjects). Sa ganitong paraan kaunti na lang na subject ang kailangang i-enroll ng estudyante para makapagtapos siya sa kolehiyo at matatapos niya nang maaga ang kanyang college o university degree. 

Ito ba ay Legitimate o Legal?

Oo, ito ay lehitimo at legal. Ang ETEEAP ay inilunsad sa pamamagitan ng Executive Order Number 330 (EO#330) na nilagdaan mismo ng Pangulong Fidel V. Ramos sa kanyang administrasyon noong Mayo 10, 1996. Ito ay pinangangasiwaan at ipinapatupad ng Philippine Commission on Higher Education (CHED) sa pamamagitan ng mga tinatawag na Deputized Colleges and Universities o Deputized Higher Education Institutions (DHEI) na nag-aalok ng kani-kanilang programa. Ang mga ito ay naaprubahan ng CHED na maging agent ng ETEEAP, at naging bahagi na ng programa nila ang sistemang ito. Ang mga estudyante nila na magtatapos sa pamamagitan ng ETEEAP ay hindi itinuturing na iba kundi sila din ay katulad ng mga estudyanteng nagtapos sa regular o standard na programa at sistema nila.

Sa kasalukuyan ay sa mga Pilipino lang ito inaalok, nasa Pilipinas man sila o nasa ibang bansa bilang immigrant o OFW. Bagaman hindi pa tumatanggap ang ETEEAP ng hindi Pilipino, may mga ilang kolehiyo sa Estados Unidos ng America na nag-aalok din ng katulad na programa. At ito ay bukas para sa lahat ng nationality. Ang kanilang curriculum ay nakasalig sa kung ano ang sistema ng estado (state) na kinaroroonan ng mga eskuwelahan na ito.

Ano Ang Sistema Nito?

Ang mga estudyante na kaka-graduate lang ng high school at gustong kumuha ng isang bachelors degree (undergraduate program) mula sa isang college o university ay kinakailangang dumaan sa normal na proseso ng pag-aaral. Kadalasan ay natatapos ang isang bachelors degree mula apat hanggang limang taon depende sa degree at sa kung ilang units o credits ang natatapos nila tuwing semester. Sa regular na proseso ay may limitadong bilang ng unit na pwedeng i-enroll ng isang estudyante at hindi maaaring humigit dito kahit pa kaya ito ng estudyante. Sa mga university na may full online program ay ganoon din. At may limitado din na bilang ng araw para sa isang semester bago payagan na mag-enroll sa susunod. Halimbawa, isang full-online university ang nagpapahintulot ng isa hanggang walong subject lang sa isang semester, na ito ay katumbas ng 3 hanggang 25 na unit. Ang haba ng isang semester ay 98 na araw at ang pinaka-maikling bilang ng araw ay 50 (tinatawag nilang minimum residency) bago payagan na mag-enroll para sa susunod na semester. Ito ay kahit pa natapos ng estudyante ang lahat ng mga kahilingan o requirement nang mas maaga rito.

Sa ETEEAP ay pareho din ang sistema. Ang mga deputized na eskuwelahan ay sumusunod din sa standard na bilang ng subject at unit sa bawat semester. Ano ang pagkakaiba? Ang edad ng isa na pwedeng matanggap sa ETEEAP ay 23 o pataas. At bago mag-enroll ang isang estudyante sa ETEEAP ay kailangan muna niyang mag-submit ng lahat ng katibayan ng kanyang nakamit na kagalingan o acquired skills habang siya ay nagtatrabaho. Ang mga ito ay dapat na suportado ng mga dokumento katulad ng employment certificate at detalyadong mga tungkulin at atas ng aplikante sa kanyang trabaho na nilagdaan o certified ng kanyang amo. Kung may mga seminar at mga training na nadaluhan at napagdaanan niya ay pwede rin niyang i-submit ang mga ito. Ang lahat ng ito ay maaaring mabigyan ng katumbas na credit o unit. Miyentras mas marami ang karanasan, kasanayan at mga hindi pormal na mga pag-aaral, training, seminar at mga nakamit na mga award sa ibat-ibang larangan ang isang aplikante, mas marami ang nababawas na mga unit at subject na kinakailangan niyang i-enroll. Kadalasan ay mas mahigit ito sa kalahati ng kinakailangang i-enroll ng isang bagong graduate na estduyante sa high school o regular na programa. Dahil dito ang mga estudyante ng ETEEAP ay maaaring nakakapagtapos ng kanilang bachelors degree mula 6 hanggang 18 buwan lamang, at ang Masters Degree ay 12 hanggang 18 na buwan.

Ang tawag sa ibinibigay na credit sa mga estudyante ng ETEEAP ay Classroom Learning Credits (CLC). Ano ang pwedeng i-submit ng isang estudyante na maaaring mabigyan ng CLC? Ito ang ilang mga halimbawa:

  • Certificate of Employment sa inyong kasalukuyang trabaho.
  • Detalyadong atas o function ninyo sa inyong trabaho. Ito ay tinatawag ding Detailed Functions and Responsibilities (DFR)
  • Certificate of Employment sa inyong nakaraang trabaho.
  • DFR sa inyong nakaraang trabaho.
  • Kung kayo ay may sariling negosyo, pwedeng magpagawa ng certificate mula sa tatlo o mahigit pang cliente o customer ninyo.
  • Mga organisasyon na sinalihan ninyo. May atas ba kayong ginampanan doon na pwedeng igawan ng certificate ng inyong mga leader?
  • Kayo ba ay aktibo sa inyong simbahan? Anong mga atas ninyo ang pwedeng magawan ng certificate?
  • May mga seminar at training ba kayong nadaluhan o napagdaanan?
  • May mga proyekto ba kayong nagawa?
  • May mga short course ba kayong natapos?
  • Kayo ba ay nagkaroon ng mga award, tropeo o medalya sa isang larangan? May certificate din ba ito o larawan na pwede ninyong isama sa inyong mga credential.

Ang mga nasa listahan ang ilan lamang sa mga pwedeng i-submit sa mga ETEEAP-deputized college o university na posibleng mabigyan ng CLC.

Sino ang Mga Nakinabang na sa ETEEAP?

Noong inilunsad ito noong 1996 ay maraming Pilipino ang kaagad na nag-enroll dito. Maraming OFW noon ang nais makatapos ng pag-aaral dahil matagal na sila sa abroad at naging bihasa na sila sa kanilang mga trabaho at larangan. Ngunit dahil sa walang Internet noon ay kinailangan nilang umuwi sa Pilipinas para tapusin ang kakulangan sa kanilang mga requirement na hindi nabigyan ng CLC.

Ngunit may ilan sa mga amo na hindi pinayagan ang kanilang mga empleyado na umuwi ngunit nagmungkahi sila na kung pwedeng ipadala ng college o university ang kanilang mga propesor doon sa lugar mismo ng trabaho ng mga estudyante. Gagastusan ng mga kompanya ang pagpapadala ng mga propesor. Ito ay pinayagan ng ilang mga unibersidad at nakatapos din ang mga estudyante. Saka na lang sila nag-martsa para sa kanilang graduation kasama ang iba pang mga estudyante ng unibersidad nang sila ay makauwi sa kanilang bakasyon.

Sa pagdating ng Internet at paglago ng sistema ng edukasyon sa buong mundo kasama na ang paglitaw ng mga online na sistema ng pag-aaral, karamihan na sa mga ETEEAP-deputized na mga unibersidad ang nag-aalok ng kanilang programa sa pamamagitan ng online asynchronous learning (OAL). Ito ay lalong naging kapaki-pakinabang ngayong panahon ng Covid-19 pandemic. Tama din naman ito sapagkat karamihang estudyante sa ETEEAP ay nasa ibat-ibang bansa at sa ibat-ibang panig ng Pilipinas, maliban sa sila rin ay nagtatrabaho o naghahanapbuhay.

Nag-aalok din ba ang ETEEAP ng mga graduate program?

Ang ETEEAP ay inilunsad pangunahin na para sa mga Pilipino na wala pang college degree kaya karamihan noong una ay mga undergraduate program (bachelors degree) lang ang inaalok. Ngunit ang ilang deputized na agent institution ang nag-apply sa Commission on Higher Education (CHED) na mag-alok ng mga graduate program at ito naman ay pinayagan.

Ang isa sa mga ito ay ang Baguio Central University (BCU) na naka-feature sa website na ito. Maliban sa mga undergraduate at graduate program na inaalok nila sa traditional system, inaalok din nila ito sa ETEEAP gamit ang blended at online learning para makompleto ng mga estudyante ang mga unit o credit na hindi nabigyan ng CLC.

Paano nakinabang ang marami sa ETEEAP?

Mahigit 10 million na Pilipino ang nagtatrabaho sa halos lahat ng mga bansa sa buong daigdig. Marami sa mga ito ang hindi nakatapos ng kanilang pag-aaral sa kolehiyo o unibersidad, at ang iba naman ay nakatapos ngunit dahil sa nagtagal na sila sa kanilang trabaho ay kinakilangan nilang ma-promote dito. Ngunit ang academic qualification ang nagiging hadlang sa promotion nila. Dito na dumarating ang pagkakataon na kinakailangan nilang bumalik muna sa unibersidad para kumuha ng karagdagang mga qualification katulad ng Masters Degree. Dahil kung hindi nila ito makamit, maaaring ang mga mas batang aplikante na bagaman walang masyadong karanasan ngunit may mas mataas na level ng edukasyon ang tatanggapin, lalo na at ang ilang mga bansa kasama na ang Pilipinas ay pangunahing kahilingan ang education background para maging kuwalipikado sa isang posisyon.

Gayun pa man, ang mga karanasan at kasanayan ng isa sa kanyang trabaho sa maraming taon ay mas matimbang kaysa sa isang bagong graduate na tanging isang piraso lang ng papel at mga taon na ginugol niya sa loob ng klase ang kanyang hawak bilang ebedensiya ng kanyang kakayahan. Ito ang napakalaking agwat, bangin o gap na kailangang mabigyan ng tulay, at nagpapasalamat tayo sa paglulunsad ng gobyerno ng Pilipinas sa ETEEAP na siyang lumutas ng problemang ito. Maraming salamat dito at sa lahat ng mga college at university na patuloy na sumusuporta. Kasama na rin dito ang mga administrator ng mga eskuwelahang ito sa pinasasalamatan natin.

ETEEAP Learning Systems

Share this page

Ano ang pagkakaiba ng online, modular at hybrid systems?

May apat na sistema na sinusunod ng mga education institution sa pag-deliver ng kanilang lesson at pakikipag-transaction sa kanilang mga kliente at estudyante. 

1) Face to face o inperson (F2F or IP)
– Pupunta ang estudyante sa school at doon mismo mag-aral kasabay ng iba pang mga estudyante. Ito ay tinatawag na SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING.

2) Online
– Hindi pupunta sa school ang estudyante ngunit mag-aaral din ito kasabay ng iba sa pamamagitan ng mga online learning tools tulad ng Zoom, Google Meet at Clasroom, Messenger at iba pang virtual conference tools. Synchronous learning din ito.

3) Modular
– Hindi pupunta sa school o sa online ang estudyante kundi matatanggap niya ang mga lesson niya sa door to door delivery, email o sa school portal at gagawin niya sa sariling schedule ang pag-aaral saka niya i-submit ang mga assignment niya sa pareho ding paraan ng pag-deliver sa kanya. Ito ay tinatawag na ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING.

4) Hybrid
– Ito ay anumang combination ng number 1, 2 at 3. Mayroong hybrid online-modular (HOM) at hybrid inperson-modular (HIM) o hybrid face-to-face and modular.

SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING – Sabay-sabay na mag-aral ang mga estudyante sa loob ng classroom o iba pang bahagi ng school campus, o sa pamamagitan ng mga virtual conference tools tulad ng Zoom, Google Meet, at Messenger.

ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING – Hindi sabay-sabay ang pag-aaral at tatapusin ng estudyante ang mga assignment niya sa module na ipapadala sa kanya, sa pag log-in sa school portal o LMS, o sa Google Classroom ng school.

Binigyan ng instruction ng CHED ang mga ETEEAP school na gamitin ang ibat-ibang sistemang ito sa kanilang CMO#29-S2021 (pwedeng tingnan sa link na ito) para matulungan ang mga nagtatrabahong gustong mag-aral kahit nasa abroad sila at nasa ibat-ibang time zones.

Narito ang isang video na nagpapaliwanag sa mga impormasyong ito.

Some questions answered
(Some of the questions were taken from this source: https://www.facebook.com/groups/eteeap.org)

Is it possible na mag-submit ng docs for assessment to different schools para may back up?
– The answer is yes. Additional advise is to compile all your documents in the proper order as described on this link. An then save them into a properly labeled folder and zip the folder before sending to the schools.

If magsusubmit ba ko ng requirements, need ba physical na pupunta sa school or can I send it via email/online?
– Depende yan sa school. Karamihang schools ay ipapadala sa email ang mga document.
(Additional advise is to compile all your documents in the proper order as described on this link. An then save them into a properly labeled folder and zip the folder before sending to the schools.)

If physical kong isusubmit requirements, kelangan ba original lahat? Kasi if yes, di na ko makakapagtry sa ibang school. Okay sana kung pwede photocopies lang.
– Hindi dapat hingin ng mga school ang mga original document. Ipapakita lang yan kapag face-to-face (o sa virual) na interview na. Hindi sasagutin ng school ang document ninyong nawala sa poder nila. At kahit pananagutan pa nila yan, napakahirap kumuha uli ng kapalit.

I have one COE lang which is from my current employer and I’ve been with them for 6 years. Is that okay po?
– Yes. As long 5 years or more work experience, it is enough. Mas may advantage kung may iba pa dahil may additional points every additional year ng work experiences. Ang mga training, seminar at iba pang learning certificates ay nabibigyan din ng points sa evaluation para makompleto yung 50 or 60 points requirement na matangap sa ETEEAP.

Yung mga nag-ooffer po ng assistance for enrollment and nanghihingi ng payment agad, legit po ba sila?
– Walang initial payment na hinihingi ang mga school kapag nag-submit ng application for evaluation. Kapag approved na ay saka sila magpapadala ng evaluation form at nandoon na rin ang mga babayaran ng aplikante.

Face to face o inperson (F2F or IP) learning
– Pupunta ang estudyante sa school at doon mismo mag-aral kasabay ng iba pang mga estudyante. Ito ay tinatawag na SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING.

Online Learning
– Hindi pupunta sa school ang estudyante ngunit mag-aaral din ito kasabay ng iba sa pamamagitan ng mga online learning tools tulad ng Zoom, Google Meet at Clasroom, Messenger at iba pang virtual conference tools. Synchronous learning din ito.

– Hindi pupunta sa school o sa online ang estudyante kundi matatanggap niya ang mga lesson niya sa door to door delivery, email o sa school portal at gagawin niya sa sariling schedule ang pag-aaral saka niya i-submit ang mga assignment niya sa pareho ding paraan ng pag-deliver sa kanya. Ito ay tinatawag na ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING.

Hybrid Learning
– Ito ay anumang combination ng number F2F learning, online learning, at modular learning. Mayroong hybrid online-modular (HOM) at hybrid inperson-modular (HIM) o hybrid face-to-face and modular.

SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING – Sabay-sabay na mag-aral ang mga estudyante sa loob ng classroom o iba pang bahagi ng school campus, o sa pamamagitan ng mga virtual conference tools tulad ng Zoom, Google Meet, at Messenger.

    Cruise Ship Analogy

    Share this page

    Note: This is a repost from its original publisher on this site: Cruise Ship Analogy

    Welcome to Your Cruise Ship!

    When we board a cruise ship, we know what to expect. Imagine getting into one of them and before you enter you were awed by the elegant look from the outside and were even astounded by the interior furnishings. When everyone has settled and are ready to enjoy the experience of being on one of these adventures, you asked the captain as to what the itinerary will be along with the plans in place for this journey. You were excited to hear what to expect as you started reviewing the brochure that was given to you when you registered and paid for this trip. You also brought out your mobile device and opened the company’s website to check the information about this option that you have chosen. Your mind briefly flashed back to the time you were searching for different options and looking at the exciting photos and videos along with the positive reviews on this particular cruise ship. Your imagination back then is now becoming a reality that you cannot hold back your enthusiasm.

    Cruise Ship in the Education Industry

    The emotions involved in the above scenario can also be the same when one is joining an educational institution whether as a student or a member of its staff. In this article we will use a K-12 institution located in one country in Asia as an example.

    When this country started working on being considered as one of the commercial hubs of the world, her education sector had boomed also. She already had the basic education system where her national language was used as medium of teaching. But when international trade started to increase and the skills in the English language had become a necessity, her government started coming up with different programs for the state-managed schools. Along with this was the instruction for private schools to increase using the English Language in their courses and subjects which most of them had already started years earlier. These private schools and universities saw this business opportunity and came up with programs and systems of their own. Many of these are managed by foreigners who also hired foreign teachers as the English skills of locals are way below standard to teach English and other subjects in English. Some of the locals who own or manage private schools and universities were also educated in other countries and learned the skills of managing education institutions that prepare students into the global business trends.

    Excited Parents and Students

    Now let us take a closer look at the aforementioned K-12 private school. We will look at a scenario and momentary transfer our imagination from the cruise ship to that school. Your family is moving to this country because your company assigned you here. You started looking for a school to enroll your three kids with one starting in preschool, the other one will be moving up to grade 1, and the other starting in the middle school. You searched the Internet and compared the facilities that appear on the different schools’ websites and social network pages. You contacted each of them and requested for relevant information on enrollment as well as the costs. You also checked online if there were some reviews and other relevant information that may help in your decision-making. You whitelisted a few that you decided to visit. As you entered the first school in your list, you were impressed by what you saw. You immediately admired the stunning physical appearance along with its facilities. You spoke with the administrative and registration officers, and were given a tour around the school. You were even more impressed on what you were seeing that you considered this school be on the top of the list of your options.

    Then you started to ask questions beyond the obvious. What about the school’s system, the curriculum, teachers, accreditation, affiliations as well as other relevant information about the actual learning inside the classroom? The officer gave you all the information you wanted to know and you were satisfied with the answers to your queries. However, you still did not forget that you had other schools in your list that you needed to visit as well. So you thanked them and left to see the other schools. At the end after considering the cost, the safety, convenience and other factors, you decided to go back to the first school you visited and you enrolled your three kids in that school. You were so excited and purchased other necessary items that your kids need, including uniforms, books, electronic devices required by the school along with other relevant materials and resources. You also paid the required fees and visited the school once again for a final orientation a few days before the start of the school year.

    On the first day of school year you were excited to drop your kids at the school. The kids too were excited to wear their new uniforms and to be identified with the school. As all your doubts were cleared by the answers to your queries, you were all ready to start the year at, and with, their new school as you look forward to the exciting years ahead in your new home.

    At the school you met new friends whose kids were also enrolled there, and you found out that some of them did not bother to search other schools because when they came here, they saw the stunning facilities along with the “sweet words” of the registration/admission officer who was really convincing which made them decide that it was no longer necessary to look elsewhere. This made you even become more optimistic and placed all your hope on this institution, thinking that you had made the right choice.

    Excited New Teacher

    On the other side, you were a teacher looking for a job. You found an advertisement that says only whitelisted applicants will be called for an interview. You applied for the position. The HR manager called you and instructed you to come for an interview. You were hired and were given an overview of the school’s system. As you were astounded by the physical appearance of the school and its facilities you were also excited when you were informed on details about the school’s system and resources the school has in place for an ideal education institution for both teachers and students. You were required to report to work two days before the students start their classes. Those days will be preparatory periods along with processing of your documents to have your employment legalized. That day came and as the new students were excited to start their classes in two days, you too were excited to start your first day at work. As new member of the staff, you had a lot of questions to ask. You were then directed to the school administrator for the needed briefing. You asked what all teachers ask from their administrators and supervisors as you excitedly wait to be given the needed proper guidance, a normal procedure in any organization. 

    Get Your Oar and Row!

    Back in the cruise ship, you heard someone starting to make announcement. So you focused your attention to him. He started with these words:

    “Thank you for choosing our company and particularly this cruise ship. As you have seen, we have the most awesome design of our ship along with the furnishings that are beyond compare. This ship has been here for 15 years and as you can see on our website and brochure it is among the best of all the cruise ships on this part of the earth. Our package includes independent routes and exploration, and that you can decide on which way you want to go. We have small boats that are attached on the side and on other parts of this ship that you can use to explore the vicinity of the ship, although you cannot go far. With this you will enjoy your stay in our ship even more. As you have noticed in our brochure and advertisements, there are boats and other vessels that are floating alongside our ship. These are the ones that our clients can use to roam around the ship and enjoy the scenery while managing their own boats. We hope that you enjoy your stay.”

    And that ends the introduction of the administrator representative. You were excited, but at the same time puzzled by the announcement. However, you focused on the exciting part of being on this cruise ship.

    But a question lingered in your mind. How can this ship arrive at her destination if we just take one of the boats and just roam around it while others are doing the same? Even worse is that everyone goes in every direction and no one is guiding us except the assigned staff that helps in managing the boat that we take? You even noticed that the small boats have engines but the staff were the ones who are trying to maintain and make them work properly. Then you noticed that the whole ship does not seem to be working properly. You don’t hear the engine running while the ship floats aimlessly on the water. You started to ask fellow passengers as well as the staff and the situation was becoming clearer to you. Eventually you came close to another ship and found out that some of the passengers there were former client of your cruise ship. Your suspicion was confirmed when you were informed that your ship does not have an engine and a rudder.

    Back in the ship, you again asked one of the administrators, who was incidentally with the captain, and your jaw dropped as you heard the confirmation on the absence of an engine and a defective rudder. Worse was that you were instructed to pick up one of the oars that you need to move this ship and steer it to the direction that you want. The captain further said, “You can do whatever you want and you can decide on which direction you can go. And as you are already here, you can now enjoy whatever is here. I would like to assure you that this ship, despite not having an engine and a defective rudder, does not sink.”

    You tried to get in contact with the sales manager you spoke with at the start when you were about to book this trip. You were informed at the beginning that the manager will also be onboard and along with the captain will look after the ship’s passengers’ welfare. However, you could not get an appointment and were surprised that the seemingly all-present manager during your booking process is nowhere to be found although was also onboard. You were then directed to another man who works under the supervision of the captain and were told that he can answer all your questions. You approached the man and found out that he is not aware of your issues and questions and he could not even give you the basic information about the system of the cruise ship. You started to plan for an exit and get your money back but since the ship was already pushed and towed to the open waters you had no option than to stay until you dock on the next destination. You soon found out that the ones who were steering the ship with their oars were primarily the staff and most of the time the passengers also need to help. Some of the passengers were bullies but when incidents of bullying were reported to the captain, he scolds the complainers telling them that those were normal occurrences in that ship and anywhere else. When the staff saw the bullying and confirmed them to the captain, the captain tells them it is none of their business. Interestingly this ship continues to float and there are still people who are attracted to its advertisement. They only realize being in the wrong place when they are already on it that is too late to withdraw and the only option is to wait until they get to the next dockyard to get off and transfer to another ship. The money these unwary passengers pay is just enough for the wages of its crew and for the upkeep and maintenance of the ship. The captain and the manager seem to be comfortable with the present arrangement and no longer care or worried about the ship’s not having an engine and a rudder. The owners of the ship are not aware of this and when issues come to their attention, they confront the captain and the manager who always have ready excuses or someone to blame.

    The former captain of the ship had everything in place including a good engine and a perfectly working rudder. But when he left, these were not maintained as the new appointed captain was not even qualified for the job at the very beginning. The manager too was not qualified but because he worked along the previous captain his deficiency was not obvious and was tempered and compensated by the captain’s efficiency. However, now that he works along with an inefficient captain, the deficiency has become more and more obvious.

    Academic Deficiency

    You could not believe your ears when you were told by the academic administrator that you are free to do what you think is the best for your class. You asked for the curriculum of the school so you could start building your syllabus and lesson plans but were told to speak with your immediate supervisor who will give you further guidance. You were given copies of the textbooks the students use in their lessons and were told to base your syllabus and lesson plans on those references, along with other resources you can find on the Internet. You were also shared online documents containing the incomplete syllabus and skeletal lesson plans of the former teacher that you were replacing.

    You tried to get some feedback from other teachers so you have a rough idea on what to expect but failed to get enough information to give you an established foothold, leaving your mind floating as to where and how to start. Realising the situation, one of your colleagues left after a few days and landed on a more academically established school. You too realised being in the wrong place but decided to stay as there was no immediate alternative for you on that dire moment. You started wondering how this school survived for almost two decades of existence on such condition without significant growth.

    “This Ship Does Not Sink”

    The captain of the cruise ship said that it will not sink. Yes indeed, it survived 16 years floating aimlessly in the open sea with small boats attached to it that passengers can detach and enjoy their independence going around in the direction they wanted as long as they are within the vicinity of the ship. But where do the management get the money to maintain the ship and its facilities? The answer came when you noticed that as the boat docked on the next island, more people were coming in while others were leaving. You decided to stay and see what happens next. You also noticed that some passengers and staff had been there for sometime, even years, which gave you hope that staying maybe the best option for you at the moment.

    You then realised that those new unwary passengers were the ones keeping the ship from sinking and that although recently the in-out passenger turnover had been unbalanced to the negative, it was enough to sustain the financial necessity for survival. It’s true that although the ship floats aimlessly in the open sea with an incompetent captain and manager without an engine and a rudder, the rest of the staff were competent enough in their respective assignments to steer it with their own oars – while waiting for the right time to move to another ship. Some decided to stay and enjoy the ride while it is still floating but were ready anytime things change and finally have to abandon ship.

    The Two Sides of Academic Institutions

    Share this page

    Note: This is a repost from its original publisher on this site: The Two Sides

    The Client

    The parents and students looking for a school. For instance, a family with three kids. One starting in preschool, the other one will be moving up to grade 1, and the other starting with the middle school. They searched the Internet and compared the facilities that appear on the different schools’ websites and social network pages. They contacted each of them and requested for relevant information on enrollment as well as the costs. They also checked online if there were some reviews and other relevant information that may help in their decision-making. They whitelisted a few that they decided to visit. As they entered one of the schools in their list, they were impressed by what they saw. They immediately admired the stunning physical appearance along with its facilities. They met with the administrative and registration officers, and were given a tour around the school. They were even more impressed on what they were seeing and considered this school at the top of the list of their options.

    Then they started to ask questions beyond the obvious. What about the school’s system, the curriculum, teachers, accreditation, affiliations as well as other relevant information on its academic credibility and the actual learning inside the classroom? The officer provided all the information they wanted to know that they were satisfied with the answer to their queries. However, they still did not forget that they had other schools in their list that they needed to visit as well. So they thanked the officers and left to see the other schools. At the end after considering the cost, the safety, convenience and other factors, they decided to go back to the first school they visited. They enrolled their three kids in that school.

    They were so excited and purchased other necessary items that their kids needed, including uniforms, books, electronic devices required by the school along with other relevant materials and resources. They also paid the required fees and visited the school once again for a final orientation a few days before the start of the school year.

    The School

    A new family visited the school. After completing the necessary evaluation and weighing the different factors, they were finally excited to enroll three of their kids. As they were stunned with the facilities, they were also satisfied with the officers’ answers to their queries. They completed all necessary paper works and paid the deposit.

    At the first day of school year, the parents were excited to drop their kids at the school. The kids too were excited to wear their new uniforms and to be identified with the school. As all their doubts were cleared by the answers to their queries, they were all ready to start the year at, and, with their new school. As days went on, the excitement seemed to be fading from the students’ faces. The office phones are starting to ring and emails received. The parents were calling asking for clarifications as they had noticed, and their kids reported, that although the facilities were good, the academic side was not and most of those that were mentioned to them during their first visit as well as prior to the enrollment were non-existent. The administrator who was always present to welcome the parents at the outset is no longer available to answer their questions. Eventually, they had no options than to go to the school to personally speak with the concerned officers. Still the said officers were not around and teachers were the ones who were assigned to attend to the needs of the parents and students and to answer their questions.

    A few weeks before the end of the semester, the oldest of the three kids informed the office that he was no longer coming back next semester. Only the two younger siblings will remain. Before the end of the second semester, the parents sent an email that the second child was no longer coming back the following year and only the third will stay. The third child completed two years and also moved to another school. No reasons were given and the school administrators did not bother to ask the family.

    Why did this happen? The other scenario below can give light to this.

    The Restaurant Analogy in Education

    The above scenario can be explained by a situation that leads to a similar outcome. A family just arrived to live for the father’s long-term job contract at an area and was looking for a restaurant to enjoy their dinner and to help them decide on which to patronize eventually. They searched the Internet and found a few places. They checked the facilities through the photos on the establishments’ websites, the menus and the different presentations of the food.

    They decided to try a few of them on the first week to see where they will go the next and try to establish friendship with. They went for a dinner at one of them on Monday and the following six days to six different restaurants during the week. The managers had different ways of welcoming their new guests and the family started to compare all seven of them. The food, the presentation, the treatment of the whole staff as well as the environment had differences which the family immediately started to feel.

    They did the same thing the following week and started to notice that the differences are becoming noticeable and they had now come up with their theory as to which one was the best down to the worst. The process was repeated on the third week and the consistency between each shop’s website as well as what they were told at their first visits by the managers and the reality had become obvious. They repeated the process one more week to establish their conclusion and at the end, they were able to make a wise decision as to which of the seven they will patronize more.

    Academic institutions, just like restaurants, serve what people need, and want. In some cases though the parents and students are not really aware or have no idea of what they exactly need. When prospective clients visit a school they expect the best from that institution. Although some of the parents and students may have little idea on what academic excellence means, everyone regardless of cultural background and social status in life have basic and common needs as far as education is concerned.

    The institution therefore has the responsibility to help their clients understand what they need and to steer them to the right direction. Because restaurant customers have different tastes and likes, the establishment cannot also satisfy everyone’s want. But customers are always willing to go into a compromise especially where they have no choice, or when they realize it is not worth fighting over a small difference. As long as the discrepancies or inconsistencies are minor or are well-explained, a reasonable customer can understand and  is willing to overlook them.

    When a restaurant displays a brief description of its menu such as Asian, American, Indian or Mediterranean Cuisine, the customers have an idea on what to expect. An academic institution’s menu is its curriculum and usually described as British, American, IB and so forth, which immediately give the prospective client a rough idea of what to expect. When students enroll, they expect to see and hear what is described in the school’s curriculum or menu. There are of course some variations on how these are delivered. Just like the food and ambience in a restaurant, the consistency between what the menu says and what the customers actually taste and experience determines whether the establishment or institution be able to keep its clients, or lose them.

    In the scenario above, the clients initially believed what was explained to them and what they saw seemed to reinforce what they initially heard and felt. But when they had the actual taste and experience of being inside and part of that institution, they saw the inconsistency and failure of the school and its administrators to live by what they claim they are, both on their website and other digital as well as verbal presentations they had, as against what the reality was. The worse is that no one was there to entertain questions and needed clarifications when the parents personally visited the school after failure in their attempt to communicate through email and telephone which was not the case at the beginning. Just like the restaurants that lost their customers, the school also lost its client.

    Existential Flexibility-The Ralston Principle

    Share this page

    Note: This is a repost from its original publisher on this site: Existential Flexibility-The Ralston Principle

    In 2003, Aron Ralston was hiking alone in Utah’s Bluejohn Canyon when he was trapped by a falling boulder where his right hand and wrist were stuck underneath a massive rock. Ralston survived on minimal food and water even resorting to drinking his own urine. No communication device in his possession and no one knew where he was going, he had to use unconventional solutions to save his life. He used the limited tools he had to amputate his trapped arm, rappelled 65 feet down rockface and eventually rescued by a family who fortunately was passing by.¹

    Ralston said later, “The lesson is that resilience is about flexibility.” However, there is another word (adverb) we would like to add to this: existential. What is existential flexibility², and how can this be applied to the current education system we have? We will focus on the education industry and we will see how such quality can be used to face the challenging times we are in today.

    Simon Sinek describes existential flexibility  as, “The capacity to initiate an extreme disruption to a business model or strategic course in order to more effectively advance a Just Cause.” In other words, it is a drastic and most of the time offensive action one has to take in order to survive and continue existing. Contrary to the defensive adjustments one has to take to maintain his current course,  existential flexibility is resorting to a totally different approach and most of the time opposite the current course one has to take in order to survive and be able to reach the intended goal or objective. It is an unconventional and offensive maneuver one has to accept to take to continue floating and sailing as it were.³ 

    Having existential flexibility means coming to terms with the fact that everything will go on with or without the one we perceive as essential. With such quality, one has to be willing to lose something no matter how precious it seems to be to achieve a just cause, be agile and willing to pivot and make a massive shift to something new or even into something he considered before as stupidity. Leaders in the education industry must let go of long held notions and ideas that no longer serve them. 

    Most of the time however, the opposite is happening. Leaders tend to protect their current model and refuse to adapt the needed changes, not realising that such leads to a certain death of their organization. In Ralston’s case, he could have chosen death but kept his arm. But his “just cause” was to survive and continue living. He was looking forward to his becoming a father and other prospects he will enjoy if he will continue living even without the arm that he was about to amputate. His action and decision was in agreement with what one wise ancient king wrote where he said, “There is hope for whoever is among the living, because a live dog is better off than a dead lion”*. In this article and on other related topics and pages of this site, we will call this as the Ralston Principle.

    Education industry leaders of any country, or on a smaller scale an education institution, cannot overlook the importance of a crystal clear “just causes” of the existence of their organization or institution. There are three of them. First is the quality of education to the citizens or students (their clients). Second is the affordability of the services, and third is the efficient delivery of the products or services.  These leaders should be willing to do the necessary offensive pivot even to the point of becoming stupid in their own eyes or standard to be able to survive and reach their just cause. Old school education leaders tend to stick to a system that they were accustomed to as young students and eventually educators, and is difficult for them to adapt a new system or innovate new ideas to keep up with the fast-moving scenarios their clients face. The Covid-19 pandemic is just one example that necessitates an abrupt change in a system to be able to continue providing the necessary services of education institutions to their students.  

    We cannot deny the fact that institutions whether they exist for profit or non-profit causes need money to survive. The source of this money is of course from the enrollments, and many education industry players resort to different marketing strategies to attract more clients. They continue to keep abreast with the latest marketing strategies that other industry players are employing to attract more enrollments. But since marketing is only as good as the quality of the product, these institutions must also improve their products or services and innovate new systems that are appropriate or fitted in today’s conditions and client mindsets and needs. Adopting new marketing strategies without improving the quality of the products or services, or not adjusting according to the changing market trend, may have temporary and short-term benefits which leads to a stunted growth, and in the long run to the eventual death of the company or institution. 

    So how can education leaders apply the Ralstone Doctrine? What scenarios and market trends Covid-19 and other events had brought about and what necessary existential flexibility is needed to face these challenges?

    We know well the story. An artist struggles a lifetime, earning perhaps only a crust of bread, forever on the brink of starvation, never giving up. Then one day, long after he has gone, his works are discovered.

    ETEEAP and ALS

    Share this page

    ETEEAP was introduced by the Philippine government purposely for Filipinos who were forced forego their college or university education due to circumstances beyond their control. It was  established by the Executive Order Number 330 (EO#330) signed by former Philippine President Fidel V. Ramos on May 10, 1996. But there was a precursor to the ETEEAP.

    Prior to the signing of EO#330 was a part of the 1987 Philippine Constitution Governance Act for Basic Education otherwise known as Republic Act 9155 (RA955) which established the Alternative Learning System (ALS).

    The official website of the Department of Education (DepEd) in the Philippines describes the reason why these systems were established this way: “Many Filipinos do not have a chance to attend and finish formal basic education (Grades 1-6 and Year 1-4) due to many reasons. Some drop out from schools while some do not have schools in their communities. Since every Filipino has a right to free basic education, the Government establishes ALS to provide all Filipinos the chance to have access to and complete basic education in a mode that fits their distinct situations and needs.”

    How does the system work?

    The same source explains, “There are two major programs on ALS that are being implemented by the Department of Education, through the Bureau of Alternative Learning System (BALS). One is the Basic Literacy Program and the other is the Continuing Education Program – Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E).  Both programs are modular and flexible. This means that learning can take place anytime and any place, depending on the convenience and availability of the learners.”

    The difference between the Formal Education System and the Alternative Education System is that “Formal Education system is classroom-based, managed by trained formal school teachers” while “ALS Non-formal Education happens outside the classroom, community-based, usually conducted at community learning centers, barangay multi-purpose hall, libraries or at home, managed by ALS learning facilitators, such as mobile teachers, district ALS Coordinators, instructional managers at an agreed schedule and venue between the learners and facilitators.”

    In the above description the ALS has two sections. The first one is the Basic Literacy Program which is intended for those who have not completed their basic education (Grade 1 to Grade 10). The recent implementation of the K-12 system for the Philippines to comply with global standard added the senior high school level which is Grade 11 and Grade 12. The students’ qualification to graduate (In elementary, secondary or senior high school) is evaluated by series of examinations prepared and administered by the DepEd at designated place and time throughout the country. Outside the Philippines, these are mostly held at Philippine Embassies or Consulates. These examinations will ensure that the students are qualified to enter the next level of their education. As for the Continuing Education Program-Accreditation and Equivalency, the ETEEAP comes into play for students who wish to continue on acquiring tertiary education or higher learning.

    In the Philippines the basic education is taken care of by the Department of Education (DepEd) while the Tertiary or higher education is under the supervision and implementation of the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd).

    To sum it up, ALS is intended for adults who have not completed their basic education (Elementary and/or Secondary as far as Grade 10). Then they can continue to take up senior high school. ETEEAP on the other hand is for adults who completed their secondary education but were not able to finish their college degree. There are minimum age requirements for these.

    Who can benefit from the ETEEAP?

    Anyone who has completed secondary education through the Formal Education System or the Alternative Learning System and did not have a chance to start or complete a college or university degree can benefit from the ETEEAP. But how does the system work? How much is the cost? What are the requirements? Other articles on this site provide answers and more information on these questions. You can find them on the links below.
