When the Philippines first joined PISA in 2018, Filipino learners had a dismal performance among the 79 countries in reading comprehension as well as mathematical and scientific literacy.In a recent press conference, Education Secretary Leonor Briones said that the DepEd is “doing everything to prepare” the students despite the difficult circumstances brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, Education Undersecretary Nepomuceno Malaluan said that the decision to join the PISA once again is aligned with DepEd’s “Sulong Edukalidad” — an ongoing program to improve education quality in the country. As the country participates once again in PISA this year, participating Filipino students are expected not only to demonstrate academic competency.
To address this challenge, DepEd developed and implemented the Professional Development Program on Assessment and Emerging Literacies with a focus on PISA in October 2021.The program was developed through collaborative efforts of experts from the Bureau of Education Assessment , the Bureau of Learning Delivery , assessment experts, and partner National Educators’ Academy of the Philippines -accredited Learning Service Providers .
These, he said, allowed them to experience taking a computer-based exam like PISA as if they were students. “This experience will help teachers to effectively familiarize their students with a technology-enabled testing environment,” he said.
