1. The Department of Education (DepEd), through its 5-Point Reform Agenda, reaffirms its commitment to addressing learning loss as reflected in national and international large-scale assessments through the 2025 Learning Camp designed to improve student learning and enhance teacher capacity. This is an iteration of the National Learning Camp (NLC) through DepEd Order (DO) No. 014, s. 2023, titled Policy Guidelines on the Implementation of the National Learning Camp.
2. This Memorandum is issued pursuant to DO 010, s. 2025 or the Guidelines for the Implementation of the 2025 Department of Education Summer Programs, particularly the provision on the conduct of summer programs that proactively prepare learners for the succeeding school year (SY) through focused remediation efforts. The 2025 Summer Programs are thoughtfully planned to harmonize with and reinforce the goals of the Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning (ARAL) Program.
SCOPE AND COVERAGE
3. The 2025 Learning Camp will be implemented in 10 select schools based on the number and percentage of students assessed below the minimum proficiency levels from the MATATAG Pilot Regions. These are Regions I, II, VII, XII, National Capital Region (NCR), Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), and CARAGA.
IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES
4. Participants in the 2025 Learning Camp will come from Grades 1 to 10 who are enrolled in the current SY in the following 10 schools selected from all pilot schools:
Schools | School ID | Division | Region |
Suyangan Elementary School | 132160 | Siargao | CARAGA |
Santiago Syjuco Memorial School | 136846 | Malabon City | NCR |
Rizal Elementary School | 136404 | Baguio | CAR |
Acao Elementary School | 100907 | La Union | Region I |
Alegria Central Elem. School | 118881 | Sarangani | Region 12 |
Dingading Integrated School | 500016 | Isabela | Region 2 |
San Fernando North Central Elementary School | 132631 | Cebu Province | Region 7 |

Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo NHS | 300572 | Isabela | Region 2 |
Alegria National High School | 304519 | Sarangani | Region 12 |
5. Insights gathered from the 10 participating schools in the following areas will inform the improvement of the implementation of the 2025 Learning Camp or other summer programs:
a. Use of assessment data to identify learners' performance;
b. Participation of learners;
c. Monitoring of individual learner progress; and
d. Teacher support and collaborative expertise sessions.
6. The program follows a camp-like approach that blends academic support with fun and engaging activities, fostering an interactive learning environment during school breaks. The 2025 Learning Camp benefits Grades 1 to 10 learners grouped in three camps:
a. Intervention Camp: A mandatory program supporting struggling learners who have not yet grasped foundational Mathematics and/or English skills;
b. Consolidation Camp: Provides further practice and application of previously taught competencies, helping learners connect concepts and skills across grade-level competencies; and
c. Enhancement Camp: Enriches learning for advanced learners by offering greater depth, breadth, and complexity of learning area competencies.
Grade Level Coverage and Learning Focus
7. The 2025 Learning Camp is intended for the currently enrolled Grades 1 to 10 learners this SY 2024-2025. It will focus on Reading and Mathematics for Grades 1-3 and English (Reading) and Mathematics for Grades 4-10.Registration and Participation in the 2025 Learning Camp
8. The registration process will use a Google form that can be accessed through the link https://bit.ly/2025LCReg. The learner's participation in the Intervention Camp is mandatory. Teacher advisers will automatically register them by inputting the required information in the registration link, adhering to the provisions of the Data Privacy Act.
9. Participation in the Consolidation and Enhancement Camps is voluntary. Teacher-advisers will facilitate the registration of interested learners through the registration link.
10. The registration period is from April 14 to April 23, 2025, to determine and prepare the necessary resources for implementation. All learner registrants in the three camps must submit to the teacher-adviser the duly accomplished Parent's Permit Template in Annex 1.
11. For Grades 7-10, the National Learning Camp Assessment (NLCA) pre-test shall be administered on May 9, 2025. The NLCA results will be used by teachers to better understand the ability of learners in their classes and, hence, guide them in planning and providing more targeted support for learners. The NLCA post-test shall be administered on June 5, 2025.
Placement of Learners
12. To determine the appropriate grouping of learners into the Intervention, Consolidation, or Enhancement Camps within the 2025 Learning Camp framework, the program will use the End of School Year (EoSY) results from the Comprehensive Rapid Literacy Assessment (CRLA), Rapid Mathematics Assessment (RMA), and Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IR!). The results of assessments combined with teacher recommendations based on the learners' academic performance and learning needs shall form the final basis for the grouping of learners. Below is the grouping of learners based on the EoSY assessment results:
2025 Learning Camp | Reading Assessment | Mathematics Assessment | |
Grade Level | Grades 1 to 3 | Grades 4 to 10 | Grades 1 to 10 |
Assessment Tool | CRLA | Phil-IRI | RMA |
Intervention | Emerging | Frustration | Not Proficient |
Developing | Low Proficient | ||
Consolidation | Transitioning | Instructional | Nearly Proficient |
Enhancement | Grade Level Ready | Independent | Proficient |
Highly Proficient | |||
Engagement of Learning Camp Volunteers (LCVs)
13. In support of the implementation of the 2025 Learning Camp, pursuant to DO 014, s. 2023, DepEd shall engage the services of LCVs to facilitate the intervention, consolidation, and enhancement camps in Reading, English, and Mathematics. The engagement of LCVs shall be conducted from April 14 to 21, 2025.
14. LCVs may be DepEd teachers and non-DepEd LCVs. Non-DepEd LCVs are as follows:
a. Remaining Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET)-eligible DepEd applicants in the recent and/ or previous Registries of Qualified Applicants (RQAs);
b. Other LET-eligible teacher applicants in the RQAs who did not meet the cut-off score per existing DepEd hiring guidelines; and
c. Other LET-eligible teachers in the locality, such as but not limited to teachers from private schools, state universities and colleges/local universities and colleges (SUCs/LUCs), and other teaching practitioners in the community, are subject to the screening qualification and criteria indicated in the guidelines found in Annex 2.
15. In determining the number of LCVs to be engaged, schools division offices (SDOs) and/or schools shall be guided by the guidelines provided in Annex 2. IV.A of this Memorandum.
16. The number of LCVs required is based on the number of learners per camp, per learning area, and per grade level, using the parameters below:
a. Intervention Camp: maximum of 5 learners per LCV;
b. Consolidation Camp: maximum of 25 learners per LCV; and
c. Enhancement Camp: maximum of 25 learners per LCV.
Incentives for LCVs
17. Given that the 2025 Learning Camp requires the services of LCVs beyond regular school days, they will be given incentives, subject to government rules and regulations (DO 014, s. 2023, paragraph 54). Below are the incentives for LCVs for the 2025 Learning Camp.
a. DepEd LCVs
i. Vacation Service Credits
