The Department of Education-Negros Island Region (DepEd-NIR) will be holding the first NIR K-to-12 Conference from April 5 to 7 at the SMX Convention Center at SM City Bacolod.
The conference will serve as an opportunity for the 16 schools divisions in the region to share their respective division’s best practices and to determine other factors necessary to further improve the implementation of the K-to-12 program.
“K-to-12 is still a work in progress,” said DepEd-NIR Director Gilbert Sadsad. “There is still so much room for improvement in order to maximize the program’s benefits for our students and, at the same time, ensuring its sustainability.”
A representative for DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones, along with DepEd Undersecretary for Planning and Field Operations Jesus Lorenzo Mateo, are expected to attend the conference./WDJ
