DepEd MEMORANDUM

No. 110, s. 2022

 

CREATION OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE AND TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATIONAL MATHEMATICS PROGRAM

 

To:      Undersecretaries

Assistant Secretaries

Bureau and Service Directors

Regional Directors

Schools Division Superintendents

All Others Concerned

 

1. The urgency to recover from the adverse impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on learning outcomes is an opportunity for reform in the Philippine basic education sector. To build back better, greater attention must be directed toward helping Filipino learners gain the foundational competencies they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

 

2. One of the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) is to ensure that all youth and a substantial proportion of adults, both men and women, achieve literacy and numeracy (United Nations, 2015). Being numerate goes beyond mastery of basic mathematics; it is being critically aware of connections between mathematics and the real world. However, in the most recent cycles of three recent international large-scale assessments, most Filipino students lag significantly behind in mathematics achievement for their respective grades. Given the elevated expectations to effectively reduce learning gaps and help students acquire a wider range of competencies, a significant investment in numeracy and mathematics development especially in the elementary grades is highly imperative.

 

3. Anchored on the vision of the Basic Education Development Plan 2030, the Department of Education (DepEd) shall embark on a national initiative that aims to set in motion a collaborative action to promote better numeracy and mathematics achievement in schools.

 

4. A Steering Committee (SC) and Technical Working Group (TWG) shall be created with the following composition and responsibilities:
