DepEd Memorandum 058, s. 2024

Clearance of Issuances with the Office of the Secretary

 

DepEd Memorandum No. 058, s. 2024, mandates that certain issuances directed to key stakeholders, such as Regional Directors and School Heads, must be cleared with the Office of the Secretary (OSEC) before dissemination. These include budget-related, procurement-related, and policy-changing guidelines. The memorandum also authorizes specific undersecretaries to clear these issuances on behalf of OSEC. Additionally, non-listed issuances should be furnished to OSEC for information at least five days before release. This is to ensure proper coordination and compliance within the Department of Education.
