JZGMNHS highlights ‘BE SAFER’ learning continuity plan for SY 21-22

by: Bernadette A. Miniano


To emphasize the school’s readiness to carry out the Department of Education’s vision and mission on the second school year within the period of the Covid-19 pandemic, Jacobo Z. Gonzales Memorial National High School (JZGMNHS) released its Enhanced Learning Continuity Plan for the School Year 2021-2022 with Project BE SAFER as its main battle cry for ensuring the delivery of quality education.


Project BE SAFER stands for Building Community Trust, Ensuring Quality of Teaching-Learning Process, Securing Safe Operations, Well-being, and Protection, Assuring and Providing Quality Learning Materials, Focusing on Learning, Education Financing, and Reaching the Most Marginalized.


The seven dimensions of Project BE SAFER are anchored to the safety protocols and minimum health standards and guidelines set by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF), Department of Health (DOH), and Department of Education (DepEd). Intending to provide programs, projects, and activities in all key dimensions of delivery of basic education, the Project is the product of shared inputs and collaborative efforts of JZGMNHS personnel, students, parents and other stakeholders as JZGMNHS continuously develops itself by enhancing and modifying its existing programs and projects.


BE-LCP, the basis of Project BE SAFER, is DepEd’s response to the challenges posed by COVID-19 in the field of basic education. It covers seven areas, namely, Focus on Learning, Ensuring Quality of Teaching-Learning Process, Provision of Learning Resources, Reaching the Most Marginalized, Safe Operations, Well-being and Protection, and Education Financing. To ensure effective implementation of the BE-LCP, the school organized different programs, projects, and activities on the seven areas.


In the Safe Operations dimension, the school worked on capacitating its Disaster Risk Reduction Management unit. The DRRM Coordinator, Mr. Marlon Paglingayen, assigned teachers to work on different tasks that were aimed to strengthen the school’s level of safety, especially when the school starts implementing face-to-face learning again. In November 3, 2021, the school conducted a webinar on DRRM themed “Orientation on the History, Legal Bases, and Roles and Responsibilities of DEPED Personnel on Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM)”.


For Well-being and Protection, the school intensified its project on “Gulayan sa Paaralan”. Through the assistance provided by the city government of Biñan, the school implemented the project “Pagtatanim ng Organikong Gulay Laban sa Pandemya” by engaging the parents in planting organic vegetables, herbs, and root crops among others in the school’s garden. Moreover, the school also built more toilets, drinking facilities, and wash areas to enhance its program on Wash-in-Schools (WINs). The school also conducted a webinar themed “Burnout and Stress Management Techniques for Teachers, Parents, and Learners amidst the Pandemic” on November 4, 2021 to provide the teachers, learners, and parents self-care strategies that enabled them to deal with stress and burnout caused by the pandemic.

To intensify Focus on Learning, the school also advocated reading programs to reinforce the reading habits of the students, a necessity in remote learning. Projects, like Project DRIVE-THRU, were also carried out to guarantee that all learners have access to the learning materials such as modules and supplementary materials. Meanwhile, in Ensuring Quality of the Teaching-Learning Process, the school adopted the programs proposed in the 2021 CIP Festival for school-wide implementation such as Project ACTS (A Challenge To Score), Project E-SUITE (Enhancing Skills Using Improvised Tools &Equipment in TLE), Project HASTE (Heedful to Activate Students Timeliness and Excellence), and Project PASSA (PAgpapasa ang Solusyon Sa Araling Panlipunan).


In the Provision of Learning Resources, the school guaranteed that 100% of learners were provided with quality assured self-learning modules (SLMs) on 1:1 ratio before the opening of classes. The property custodian, Mr. Ren Charles Parada, in partnership with the Learning Resources coordinator, Ms. Johanna Agayo, facilitated the distribution of the soft and hard copies of the modules to the teachers who eventually facilitated the distribution to the parents or guardians of the learners.


The school’s LCP was also intent on reaching the most marginalized such as those who have difficulty accessing learning materials to ensure that they were given due assistance. At the same time, the school vowed that it would be implementing academic ease throughout the school year so that the students would not be academically burdened amidst the global health emergency. JZGMNHS assured that all the PPAs were duly funded through the school’s maintenance and other operating expenses (MOOE).
