DepEd issued the statement following reports of teachers allegedly buying ready-made research for promotion and funding as pointed out by Senator Sherwin Gatchalian.
DepEd explained that the Research Management Guidelines — issued as Department Order No. 16, s. 2017 — has established research committees across governance levels such as the the National Research Committee , Regional Research Committee , and the Schools Division Research Committee . Its Section V.A, DepEd added, “outlines the composition of the committee members and their role and responsibilities.
DepEd noted that while the research committees were initially established to process proposals for funding under the Basic Education Research Fund , the RMG has “expanded their scope to also process research studies regardless of funding.” In submitting a research proposal, DepEd said the proponent will submit an anti-plagiarism and absence of conflict of interest declaration. “This will be further validated during the initial evaluation where the research committee secretariat will check on plagiarism and possible conflict of interest in the conduct of the research,” it added.
