Public school heads benefit from ‘EXCELS’ scholarship program
SUNDAY, JANUARY 13, 2008
MANILA (PNA) – The Department of Education (DepEd) on Sunday said that more than 1,600 public elementary and secondary school heads nationwide will benefit from the scholarship project dubbed “EXCELS Scholarship Programs.”
The scholarship program is offered from November 2007 to July 2008.
DepEd Undersecretary for Programs and Projects Vilma Labrador said that EXCELS is implemented in partnership with the Southeast Asian Minister of Education Organization Innovation and Technology (SEAMEO-INNOTECH) in 16 regions.
It offers 100 scholarships per region and 10 for the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
“It is a one-month flexible learning course on instructional and curricular leadership and management, which is conducted through a web-based platform called INNOTECH Flexile Learning Management System or iFLEX,” Labrador said.
She said that under the program, scholars need not physically attend training in a specific location that will take them away from the workplace.
Instead, SEAMEO-INNOTECH provides the participants set of instructional modules, reading manuals and other materials for study during the one-month period.
Labrador added that the participants will undergo a three-hour online chat session where scholars interact, debate and discuss with fellow participants and a flexile learning tutor every week.
They are also required to submit course requirements that include module assignment, reflection papers and an action plan.
“DepEd scholars who successfully comply with the course requirements shall be awarded an international certificate by SEAMEO-INNOTECH and will receive advance credits for three academic units leading to a masters or doctoral degree program to be granted by a participating teacher education institution subject to its admission rules,” Labrador said.
The regional directors make the nominations. Qualified nominees should e computer literate, have valid e-mail address, and ale to attend the learners orientation and graduation to e held in the campus of the partner educational institution in the region.
The schedules of the scholarship program run from November to December 20 -- Regions 7, 10 and National Capital Region (NCR); January 7 to February 4, 2008 -– Regions 3, 4-A, 4-B, 6 and 7; February 27 to March 26 -– Regions 1, 2, 5, 9 and Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR); and June 9 to July 7 -– Regions 11, 12, CARAGA and ARMM.
