The Department of Education, Planning Service – Policy Research and Development Division (PS-PRD) held its bimonthly research forum on March 2, 2020 at the Bulwagan ng Karunungan, DepEd Complex, Meralco Avenue, Pasig City.
With the theme, “Addressing the Challenges on Basic Education: Focus on Reading Literacy,” various literacy enthusiasts and advocates from academes and DepEd offices convened together to talk about the issues and concerns involving reading literacy.
The highlights of the said forum were the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) procedures and results, and different action reserach studies on reading. The forum targeted the impact and importance of localizing reading stories, teaching reading in multigrade classroom, and using ICT-based reading materials in enhancing the comprehension skills of the students.
The LCCS ensures its participation in literacy events such as this as it serves as an avenue of listening to the feedback from the grassroots. By doing so, this will allow the Council to formulate effective policy recommendations that will cater to the country’s dynamic needs.
