00:00 The National Learning Camp should have started but it was suspended due to the earthquake.
00:04 The NLC is part of the Learning Recovery Program of the Department of Education
00:09 to fill the learning gap of students due to the suspension of classes
00:13 and the closure of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:16 Now, we will have a chance to interview DepEd Assistant Secretary Francis Bringas.
00:21 Good morning, sir.
00:23 Good morning. Good morning to everyone.
00:26 Asec, the National Learning Camp was suspended due to the super typhoon Egay.
00:31 How will the adjustments be made, Asec?
00:34 Well, you know that our suspension of classes is really an automatic default.
00:41 There is an alternative delivery mode.
00:43 So, all schools are ready to shift automatically into touch
00:48 if we have disruptions like this.
00:51 Asec, if the Learning Camp was not suspended due to the earthquake,
00:54 how many students would be admitted?
00:57 Well, if we were not suspended due to the earthquake,
00:59 because our pilot is grades 7 and 8,
01:01 we have a total of around 980,000 enrollees or participants here in our National Learning Camp.
01:12 Asec, are schools already taking care of this?
01:15 Well, yes, they should. Particularly in the secondary.
01:18 Because our grades 7 and 8 are in the secondary.
01:21 But that will not preclude, of course, the undergrade level
01:24 from offering this voluntary National Learning Camp.
01:27 How are the students selected, Asec?
01:30 Our students are selected based on their academic performance during the last school year.
01:38 So, if you are 85 and above in your grade in a subject area,
01:43 particularly English, Science, and Math,
01:45 you will be sent to the enhancement camp that we call.
01:49 If you are 75 and up to 84, you will be sent to the consolidation camp.
01:54 And if you did not meet the expectation that it's below 75,
01:58 you will be sent to the intervention camp.
02:00 Asec, is this for all grade levels?
02:03 And if so, what subject or skills will be taught?
02:07 Our pilot for this year is only grades 7 and 8.
02:12 But it can be offered to all of our grade levels.
02:15 And this will expand when our next end of school year comes.
02:20 You said that the Learning Camp is a camp-like atmosphere.
02:23 This is not a classroom set-up.
02:25 What is the set-up here?
02:26 And is there a grading system?
02:29 Our set-up is supposed to be fun activities.
02:32 We have intervention classes, of course.
02:35 But mostly, we will have delightful experiences and fun learning activities.
02:41 So, what was your second question?
02:45 How about the grading system, Asec?
02:49 We don't have a grading system,
02:52 except for our remedial classes, which are usual.
02:55 But here in the camp, we don't have a grading system.
02:57 It's just a descriptive description of their performance during the camp
03:03 so that the parents can get feedback on their performance during the Learning Camp.
03:07 So, hopefully, after the National Learning Camp,
03:09 you will see improvements in the students who will be participating in it.
03:14 Yes, that's our expected output.
03:16 But this is not just for our students.
03:19 We also have parts for our teachers
03:22 so that our teachers' capacity and competency can be enhanced.
03:26 Okay. Asec, until when will the Learning Camp continue?
03:30 Until the classes start?
03:33 That's the purpose of our Learning Camp.
03:35 Our Intervention Camp and Consolidation Camp will last for five weeks.
03:41 Okay.
03:42 While our Enhancement Camp will last for three weeks.
03:45 But at the start of the coming school year,
03:47 we have a sustainability component
03:50 where we will continue the interventions we are doing
03:53 or the activities we are doing to incorporate them in our next school year.
03:58 Okay. So, after the Egye Flood,
04:00 hopefully, the NLC will continue in the affected areas of the Egye Flood.
04:04 Yes.
04:05 Hopefully, our students will enjoy our Camp.
04:08 Especially, the school year is coming, Asec.
04:11 Yes.
04:12 Okay. Thank you very much, DepEd Assistant Secretary Francis Bringas.
04:16 Good morning to you.
04:17 Thank you so much. Good morning.
04:18 Good morning.
