KALIBO, Aklan – Although more teachers and classrooms were still needed, Aklan would be implementing the K to 12 basic education reform program of the Department of Education (DepEd).

A total of 116 public and private schools in the province were ready for the second year of implementation of the program, according to Jose Niro Nillasca, Division of Aklan’s education program supervisor and senior high school coordinator.

“We are in the final process of preparation for the opening of classes on June 5,” said Nillasca.

Of the 116 educational institutions offering the senior high school in Aklan, 75 were public schools, according to Nillasca.

Construction of classrooms for senior high school was still ongoing to accommodate the expected 19,000 upcoming Grade 11 and 12 students in Aklan this year.

Of the number, 9,500 were upcoming Grade 12 students wherein 6,500 were in public schools and 3,000 in private institutions.

He said “there are still ongoing constructions as of present,” but clarified that school heads were advised to maximize their facilities for the full implementation of the program.

The DepEd official likewise said at least 267 slots would be opened for the senior high school teachers.

“We are hoping to fill all these slots by this school year,” Nillasca said.

He said another 40 slots from last year were still needed to be filled.

One problem why the slots were hard to fill was the uneven number of teachers for each specialization, said Nillasca. (PNA/PN)
