DepEd 11 close to hitting 100 percent target number of student attendance

The regional office of the Department of Education (DepEd 11) on Wednesday said it is close to reaching the 100 percent target number of students following the opening of classes last Monday for the School Year 2021-2022.

DepEd 11 officially opened the classes in Davao Region on September 13, 2021 attended by the teachers minus the physical presence of the students.

DepEd 11 spokeperson Jenielito Atillo told media in a virtual presser that as of 2 a.m. of September 15, 2021, the status with respect to the enrolment has already reached 1,285,891 (99.7 percent) enrollees in the entire region.

“Comparing it sa previous enrolment data for School Year 2020-2021, which is just 1,289,331 enrollees, this would mean that we have reached already the 95 percent threshold of the number of enrolment vis-a-vis the population last year,” Atillo said.

For the breakdown of this 1,285,891 number of enrollees-963,986 enrollees for the public schools and 82,905 for the private schools.

Of the total number of enrollees, DepEd 11 added the 239,000 registered during the early registration.

“That is quiet huge number already and we’re about to really hit the 100 percent mark and then hopefully, with this very wonderful situation there is a great likelihood na malagpasan pa nato ang atong gidaghanon last year. This also means that naa na’y maayong pagdawat ug pagsabot (gikan sa ginikanan) kung nganong kinahanglan ang edukasyon magpadayon bisan pa man ug naa ta sa pandemya,” Atillo said.

Atillo said DepEd 11 is still expecting for the number of enrollees to increase as enrolment will run until the end of the month.

“The Secretary (Sec. Leonor Briones) has decided to continue with the enrolment procedure and we extended it kay nakita nato nga naa pay daghan na wala pa ka enorl that is why hugot ang among panawagn sa mga ginikanan nga katong wala pa nakpalista sa ilahang mga naka kinahnglan magpalista na para dili sila mabitin sa ilang mga klase,” he said.

Meanwhile, Atillo also announced that it was a smooth opening of classes.

“We have a very smooth opening of classes minus the physical presence of our children but the teachers are there because under our alternative work arrangement obligado ang atoang mga teachers to be present three times a week in the school. They will be working from home for two days within the week,” he said.
