DepED grateful for ‘trust and support’ after emerging as top-performing gov’t agency

On Wednesday, the Department of Education (DepEd) commended Filipinos for their support after being named the top-performing government agency in the recent Octa Research Group Survey.

"The Department of Education is grateful for the trust and support of the Filipino people. The reopening of schools and the resumption of in-person classes — geared at ensuring that we effectively address the enormous learning losses brought by the Covid-19 pandemic — would have been harder without your help, feedback, advice, and confidence in us," it said.

In the recent survey, DepEd got the highest satisfaction rating at 87 percent, with 11 percent undecided and 2 percent dissatisfied.

The DepEd noted that the Filipinos' trust also helped the department continue addressing other challenges within the basic education system.

"This strengthens our determination to find solutions to the issues and challenges besetting the Department," it said.

For the last three months, the DepEd has been hurdling challenges presented by the gradual and full implementation of nationwide face-to-face classes, school repairs and rehabilitation due to earthquakes and tropical storms, and curriculum reviews to address pandemic learning loss and job mismatch, among others.

It has also doubled its efforts in partnering with the health department and other stakeholders to ensure the safe resumption of in-person learning and promote vaccination through counseling, as well as speed up the establishment of temporary learning spaces in disaster-affected areas.

DepED, along with the Department of Health (DOH) and Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), was among the top-performing government agencies based on the latest results of the OCTA Research-Tugon ng Masa survey.

From October 23 to October 27, a survey of 1,200 adult respondents was conducted nationwide.
