DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Pure public provision
Pure public provision would place enormous management and
budgetary strain on DepED. We would need to:
Build 57,100 classrooms
Hire 82,400 specialized teachers

Moreover, key decisions would also need to be made on:


What tracks and specializations to offer in which schools
What tools, equipment, facilities are needed by which schools
Where to source specialized teachers and how to deploy them
effectively in which schools

These institutional pressures could be reduced contingent upon the


willingness and capacity of the private sector and other non-DepED
providers to offer SHS .

Senior High School Voucher

including the implementation of a voucher program

Voucher: expands student choice


Is easily scalable and administratively feasible
Minimizes discretion and conflict of interest
Has built-in accountability mechanisms that leads to
improvements in quality

Next Steps for DepEd

Major communication on SHS Voucher Program to enable


private/non-DepEd schools to invest in and mobilize for Senior High
School (SHS) prior to 2016 and to get feedback from stakeholders.

Ongoing development of the voucher management system,


processing of applications for SHS provisional licenses and
refinement of program features.

Close coordination of DepEd Division Offices with private/non-


DepEd schools and other key stakeholders to come up with a clear
strategy and operations plan for the implementation of SHS
