Conditions in Determining DepEd Senior High Schools (SHSs) in 2016
How do we select the places where SHS will be established?
From the EBEIS, we will look for the following:
Identify the Following:
A. Municipalities with no junior
high school
B. Lone public junior high school
in a municipality
C. DepEd JHSs which have total
buildable space and/or excess
classrooms of at least 6 and
have enrollment of less than
3,000
(Note: these schools can
accommodate 2 additional
cohorts of students and still not
exceed the maximum size of
7,500 students in a campus.)
Do we Possible Actions
put up
a SHS?
No 1. Set up the elementary schools into
integrated schools until junior high
school (JHS)
2. Establish ALS programs for JHS
3. Study where the children can go for
SHS after JHS
Yes Social investigation on the preferences
of the community on options for setting
up SHS. Options may include:
1. Set up SHS in the locality
2. Find an HEI in the community and see
if they can offer SHS
3. Studying in another locality
Yes 1. Check location of the JHS
2. Check non-DepEd provision of SHS
3. Identify catchment areas
4. Identify the tracks to be offered
5. Identify the subsequent resource
requirements
6. Identify the population which the
school can cover versus the total SHS
population required of the SDO
For consideration:
7. Establish SHS in elementary schools
which have space for building new
classrooms and/or excess classrooms
8. Separate principal for (stand-alone)
SHS from JHS or ES?
