Dita is a small rural barangay on the eastern part of Zamboanga City overlooking the eleven islands as part
of the barangay, some 40 km from the city proper. It is bounded on north by Barangay Curuan, on the south by
 P a g e 6 of 16

Barangay Lubigan and on the west is Barangay Quiniput; the barangay can either be reached by land or by sea
because it is bounded by sea in the east and National Highway on the west.

The land area is 800 hectares including the islands of agricultural land devoted to coconut, corn, root crops,
fruit trees and vegetables. It is populated by people mostly engaged in farming.

The barangay consists of 8 sitios, namely: Sabana, Dita Proper, Tuktukalaw, Lantawan, Simandal, Buayahan,
Santikan and 11 Islands having a total population of 4,692 household with 813 families, in which 98% are Muslims
and 2% are Christians.

Dita Elementary School is one of the twenty-two (22) elementary schools and presently the 6 th biggest school
of Curuan District situated at the east coast of Zamboanga City facing the beautiful spots of the Eleven Islands.
Any means of land transportation can reach the school site, fifty (50) kilometers away from the division office. The
school is more or less 350 meters away from the MCCL highway and seven (7) kilometers away from the District
Office.

The existence of the school was made possible through the active leadership of HUJAID S. LIM the first
Barangay Chairman of Dita, located near the seashore, it started in 1952 as Dita Primary School with one makeshift
school building two (2) class rooms and two (2) teachers permanently teaching the children. Because of public
demand it offered complete elementary education. The school witnessed its first graduation in 1960. The school
was temporarily closed because of arm conflict, causing a decreased in school population. Operation resumed in
1976 with two (2) teachers.

Due to peace and order problem in Mindanao and in the area, the school was transferred to a safer place in
1990 where the school is presently located. HJI. AHMAD JAMMAL owned a lot area of 20,000 hectares donated
10,000sq. m. to the city government in the name of DECS with Title No. T-3, 338.

The heirs of Hji. Ahmad Jammal, formalized the donation on March 21, 1990 through a DONATION OF THE
REAL PROPERTY INTER VIVOS to the City Mayor Vitaliano D. Agan of Zamboanga City. During the regular session of
Sangguniang Panglunsod of Zamboanga City on March 29, 1990, the board ratified the Deed of Donation
through resolution No.428 and sealed officially the transfer of the property ownership.

To date, there are about 717 children in the community of Barangay Dita who belong to the age bracket of 4
to 17 years old.

Fortunately for the school, it has never experienced any calamities or disasters whether natural or man-made
for many already. This is because people of the community are considered to be peaceful and gentle. The
community has also never had children who became victims of any abuse and violence.

Buildings were built, and the school progressed during the succeeding years up to the present, having 7
buildings and 11 academic classrooms catering 377 pupils at present from grades one to six including pre-school
education headed by an Elementary School Head Teacher III which is consistent with the mandate of the School
Based Management with 12 nationally funded teachers, which includes eleven (11) Teachers I, and one (1) ESHT III.

Outside the regular curriculum, the school is also offering ALIVE classes with three (3) Asatidz teaching
Madaris Class for grades I-VI. Their salaries are being subsidized by DepED.

There are seven (7) school buildings, six (6) are used as instructional rooms, while one (1) building is being
used as administrative office and ancillary service room for school library and clinic. Although, there are just
enough instructional classrooms the school still lacks rooms to serve as the ICT room, library and science
classroom.

The enrolment of Dita Elementary School have been decreasing for the last three years from 410 of school
year 2016-2017 to 392 of last year and to 377 in the present with a decreasing rate of approximately 4%. This
situations have caused concerns to the school’s administration. Some factors affecting this decrease of population
include: distance from the school; poverty in which the children are forced to stop schooling and work; family
problems; and, transferring of pupils to other schools. Moreover, every year the school is also experiencing cases of
chronic absenteeism among pupils still due to the following factors mentioned above. Eventually, these pupils who
are always committing absences end up at risk of dropping out. Fortunately, despite this situations, the school is
still able to maintain zero drop-out rate for over years already. In the present record, 11 identified pupils out of 377
are at risk of dropping and the school is intensifying its campaign to save those pupils at risk of dropping out by
providing different possible help including financial.
 P a g e 8 of 16

In the health and nutrition aspects of the pupils, the current status based of record shows that 12 or 3.18% of
the total population are severely wasted, 35 or 9.28% are wasted, with only 1 obese and the rest are normal.
Hence, the result shows that there are 47 beneficiaries of School-Based Feeding Program at present which is about
9% lower compare to last year’s number. However, based also on the record, most of the pupils who are either
wasted or severely wasted come from the kindergarten group. This, shows the possibility that many pupils in the
community who are not yet school-aged are below normal in terms of nutrition. Hence the school is expecting that
in the next school year, there will be addition in the number of SBFP beneficiaries. Despite this, the school is
confident that it will be able to succeed in its program because aside from the SBFP, the school also provides
monthly feeding to its pupils; and, also monitors closely the nutritional status of the pupils.

In terms of the reading performance of the pupils is low. This was based from the results of PHIL-IRI and other
Teacher-Made Evaluation in Reading conducted last June to July of this school year which showed that 203 or 64%
of pupils from grades 1 to 6 are in the frustration level, with only 75 or 25% in the instructional level and only 34 or
about 11% are in the independent level. In Filipino reading evaluation, the results were as followed: 39% belong to
the frustration level; 43% belong to the instructional level; and, only 18% are in the independent level. This results
have caused an alarm to the administration and teaching staff of the school this is far below the target of the
Division.

As to the Mean Percentage Score of the school has improved minimally for the past three school years by
about 4.67%. This means, that the school in slightly improving in terms of academic performance of pupils
however, it is still far from the target of 75%. This is where the school really has to work on as this area is deemed
the most importance for the pupils. Some identified factors that have greatly affected this poor academic
performance of the pupils include absenteeism, poor study habits, lack of academic support at home, lack of
motivation of pupils to attend studies and other socio-economic factors such as poverty.

The school has also recorded low survival rate with only about 24% most of which by record, the pupils had
stopped schooling to work in order to help the parents earn for the family, especially those living in islands such as
those from Kabugan and Lampinigan Islands. On the other hand, repetition rate has increased as of last year from
3.67% in school year 2016-2017 to 4.94% last school year. This increased in repetition rate was mostly because of
absenteeism based on teachers’ record.
 P a g e 9 of 16

Unfortunately, the school to date, is also experiencing shortage of learning materials especially books in
grades 5 and 6. In fact, the Grade 5 pupils don’t have even a single book in subject areas of Mathematics, Science,
MAPEH and EsP yet. While on the other hand, the Grade 6 pupils only have books in Math and EsP; the rest of the
books in other subject are still not certain as to when they will arrive. Teachers are lack in teacher’s guides. This
situation of the school has caused problems in the delivery of the lessons of the teachers to the pupils especially in
the preparation of the lessons.

Another problem being encountered by Dita Elementary School is the low participation/involvement of the
parents and other stakeholders in different school activities such as the Brigada Eskwela and monthly activities this
school year compared to last school years 2016-2017 and 2017-2018. This problem came out as a result of the
conflicts of schedule of parents with the school activities.

Moreover, in terms of professional development of the teachers of Dita Elementary School, out of 11
teachers, one (1) has already acquired Complete Academic Requirements in MAED, five (5) are still studying, three
(3) took some units but stopped and two (2) did not even start yet. Moreover, in terms of seminar-training attended
by teachers as of this school year, two (2) were able to attend seminars in the regional level, four (4) in the division
level and five (5) only had training in the district and school level during the DisLAC and SLAC sessions. Still,
almost all of them confessed that they indeed, need trainings in terms of the delivery of instruction in some of
academic areas such as Mathematics, Science, etc. Therefore, the Dita Elementary School Teachers have to be
given chance to attend higher level of seminars and trainings in order to enhance their competency, effectiveness
and efficiency in teaching. This is what the school is always encouraging the teachers to do for them to grow more
professionally.

As to the performance of the school in different areas out of academic tenets, the school was only able to
produce one division level athlete last school year 2017-2018, two during the year before the previous and a team
in radio-broadcasting also in division level. This year, the school was not able to do so. Thus, the school is looking
forward to get back to track and produce representative in division or regional level competitions in the coming
years.

On the positive side, due to the effort of the school and teachers to insist in convincing the parents to help
monitor their children who are in Grade 6 already to the extent that the teachers even give financial assistance to
the graduating pupils, the school was able to maintain the 100% graduation rate of the school.
 P a g e 10 of 16

Lastly, school was also able to climb up one level higher in the School-Based Management Assessment as it
is now in the Maturity Level. In addition, the school is also considered a Child-Friendly School based on the CFS
Survey results with the score of 25 points.

It is with this issues and concerns of the school that this School Improvement Plan (SIP) of Dita Elementary
School was crafted as this SIP shall serve as the guide for the school head in managing the school taking into
consideration the different goals and objectives in every area of the educational system. This is also a good source
of information for the stakeholders, on which area, goal and objective they can extend assistance to the school
head, in particular, and the school in general. The school head and teachers, using this document, may make
representations and create linkages to would-be benefactors and other persons who would be extending assistance
to the school in realizing the goals and objectives stated herein.
