DepEd NegOr chief amenable to moving opening of classes
DUMAGUETE CITY, Feb. 6 (PIA) --- The head of the Department of Education (DepEd) Negros Oriental Division is open to the idea of moving the opening of classes from June to August or September.
DepEd Negros Oriental Division Supt. Salustiano Jimenez said he is not against the idea of having classes during summer period since they have already been conducting pre-school summer classes.
“If young children can get used to it, why can’t the old students?” Jimenez said.
Jimenez made the statement when asked for his reaction about moving the opening of classes in line with the concept of the integration of members of the Association of Southest Asian Nations (ASEAN).
The DepEd official also said he is in favor of the ASEAN integration because it will bring synchronization in all schools throughout the region.
“It is also god to accept change for the better. If we keep on clinging to what is traditional, probably we will wake up one day that we are alienated in the world we are in. We should be updated, we should be upgraded, and we have to look forward to what is best in the present society we have,” Jimenez said.
He also added that the Philippines is the only country in Asia which starts classes in June.
However, Jimenez noted that transferring the school opening should not be implemented immediately.
Jimenez explained that schools are still in the transition phase of implementing the K to 12 basic education program and it is not advisable to start a new program that would require another transition period for students.
Meanwhile, the DepEd Division of Negros Oriental has started the processing of applications for more than 400 vacant teacher positions in the province.
Jimenez said as of this month, they are now at the stage of demonstrations and interviews.
“By March we will submit the applications to the division office for the review and by May, probably on the second or third week, we will start hiring new teachers,” Jimenez said.
The hiring of teachers is in time for the opening of the next school year.
Vacant positions are for both elementary and high school but Jimenez noted that most of the items are in secondary level. (rmn/RAL/PIA7-NEGOR)

Excerpts from Secretary Armin Luistro’s speech for World Teachers’ Day - Oct 5, 2013
Isa pong guro na hindi ko makakalimutan sa Talisayan, Zamboanga ay si teacher Lorna. Isa po siyang Muslim. Katatapos lang po siya i-hire ng DepEd noong taong iyon at noong nakalipas daw na eleksyon, mayroon daw pong mga pulitiko na nagbibigay sa kanya ng pera para mapadali ang panalo sa halalan. Alam po ninyo, kung anong sabi ni Titser Lorna sa nagaalok sa kanya ng pera? Binalik daw po ang pera at sinabi, "Hindi ko kayang tanggapin yan dahil ako ay isang guro."
Ito po ang aking pagkilala sa ating mga guro ngayon. At tinatanong ko sa aking sarili, sa lahat ng panahon na nangangalaga kayo sa kabataang Pilipino, paano kaya kayo inaalagaan ng bayan? Marunong bang magpasalamat ang bayan sa mga guro na handang magbigay ng kanilang sarili araw-araw para sa mga batang ipinagkatiwala sa kanila?
Minsan-minsan po, nakakalimot kami. Baka paminsan-minsan, nakakalimutan ng bayang Pilipino ang mga nangangalaga sa ating kabataan. Pero sa araw pong ito, nais naming sabihin sa buong bayan, hinding-hindi po namin kayo makakalimutan. Hinding-hindi po mauubos ang pagpapasalamat ng bayan sa inyo. Magbibigay lamang po ako ng isang halimbawa kung paano po nangangalaga ang ating bayan sa ating mga guro.
Dapat po bumalik ako sa Zamboanga noong isang linggo dahil mayroon po tayong pagbubukas ng klase at kailangan po nating tulungan ang mga eskwelahan doon. Pero tinawag po kami sa Midsayap, Cotabato. Sa kalagitnaan po ng kaguluhan, mayroon po tayong Malingaw Elementary School na dinaanan ng mga armadong lalaki at habang sila po ay tumatawid sa harap ng Malingaw Elementary School, una pong naisip ng ating mga guro ay patakbuhin, pauwiin ang ating mga estudyante. 400 na estudyante and pinauwi kaagad-agad ng ating mga guro. Ang naiwan po sa Malingaw ay ang 13 na guro.
Noong iyong 13 ay pinaligiran ng mga armadong lalaki, ang mga Muslim na magulang ay bumalik sa eskwelahan, nakisalamuha sa ating mga guro, may bitbit na damit at pinasuot ang ating mga guro ng mga malong / kasuotang Muslim upang di sila makilala. Meron pong isang Muslim na guro, Kinder volunteer, na sinabihan noong mga armadong lalaki, "Muslim ka, pwede ka nang tumakas." Ang sabi po ng teacher volunteer, "Hindi ako aalis. Kasama ko ang aking mga kasamang guro. Sama-sama kami sa hirap at ginhawa."
Noong sila po ay isasakay na sa bangka, lumapit po ang apat na kagawad at sinabi sa mga armadong lalaki, "Hindi niyo pwedeng kunin ang aking mga guro." Ang sabi ng grupong armado, “Kukunin namin sila.” Bumalik ang kagawad at sinabi, "Kung kukunin ninyo ang aming mga guro, sasama din kami. Hindi niyo maaaring kunin sila na hindi kami kasama.”
Nagpakita ang bayan ng Midsayap kung papaano nila pinangangalagaan ang isang bayan na karamihan ay Muslim. Nakalimutan nila ang kanilang pagkakaiba sa relihiyon. Nakita nila na kung papaano dapat alagaan at pangalagaan ang bawat guro na nagsisilbi sa bayan. Sa araw pong ito, naalalaala ko ang 13 nating magigiting na guro at ang bayang nangangalaga, nagpapasalamat at hindi nakakalimot sa bawat isa sa kanila. Kagaya po ng nanay na nagbigay ng kanyang anak sa kanyang guro, lahat tayong mga guro, tinatanggap ng buong puso ang mga kabataan na ibinibigay at ipinagkakatiwala sa atin. Sa araw pong ito, kung nakalimutan ng bayang Pilipinas na magpasalamat sa inyo, sa ngalan po ng Gobyerno, sa ngalan po ng lahat ng ating kasama na magigiting at mabubuting Pilipino, tanggapin po ninyo, aming magigiting na guro, ang aming taos-pusong pasasalamat at aming walang hanggang pagtingin at pagtingala sa inyong lahat. Maraming salamat po at Happy World Teachers' Day!
