SIP 2016-2018 final

Philippine Education facts and figures have talked and echoed, “Quality must catch up
with quantity!” This, in gist, is also the central challenge that this academia shall brave.
Satisfactory levels of access and participation has marked basic education at Kalayaan
Elementary School in Pasay City. However, this academic institution has also established a great
need for substantial improvements in quality, internal efficiency and learning outputs in all areas
of basic formal education and non-formal education. This institution must harness its development
assets and overcome its weaknesses in order to balance quality with quantity and figures with
substance.
The “balancing” of quality with quantity shall be the focus of the School Improvement
Plan (SIP) of Kalayaan Elementary School from 2016-2018. The policies and strategies for this
plan shall be consistent and supportive of the goals and objectives crafted from and brought about
by the observed needs in this school. Hence, there shall be target figures which are more of the
demands than supplies, target figures which are geared more towards elevating substance rather
than increasing the numbers.
Part of the framework that guided the formulation of this School Improvement Plan (SIP)
were the School Information System, School Report Card, and Basic Education Information
System.
The plan documents evolved through a series of consultations, workshops, meetings and
editing sessions for revisions and modifications participated in by the leaders of school’s academic
intelligentsia. The results of those activities were consolidated and final-edited by a technical
working group composed of the school headmaster and representatives from the teachers.
This SIP is composed of two correlative volumes of plan. Volume One is the school’s
Three-Year Work and Financial Plan (2016-2018) that gives clear concretization of this institution’s
education priorities and direction within three years. Volume Two is the Annual Implementation
Plan (AIP) for 2016 that keeps the tabs of what must be done for the year.
The crafting of the improvement plan followed the prescribed approaches in looking into
how the needs in each education area shall be addressed. The situational analysis conducted
became the springboard in presenting strategic direction that goes with the goals, targets and
prioritized programs and activities addressing the concerns in the areas of education.
The ultimate goal of this SIP is to enhance school outputs in both formal and non-formal
education. Providing “what the school needs” and “proper orientation on putting substance into
those given to the school,” this institution believes that it shall have improved quality of outputs
in formal basic education, as well as non-formal education, and in the end shall have developed to
the fullest the potentials of its human resources for increased productivity, equity and empowerment
in their respective communities.
