19. In fact, the BEL-LCP streamlines the K to 12

Curriculum into the Most Essential Learning
Competencies or MELCs.

DO: Discuss the essential requirements (Slide 5)

SAY: The BELCP is anchored on the principles of

safety, equity, and continuity. While the health of
the learners is of primary concern, learning must
still continue despite all the odds. For the
Department of Education (DepEd), this meant the
cancellation of classes and other school activities
for the remaining weeks of School Year (SY)
2019-2020, and that for SY 2020-2021, schools
must find ways for learning to continue amidst
the threat and uncertainties brought about by
COVID-19, while ensuring the health, safety, and
well-being of all learners, teachers, and
personnel of the Department.

Do: Expound on the principles of BELCP.

SAY: The BELCP is fluid in the sense that it has

to match the context of the school. The key

elements of the learning strategies that shall

operationalize the BE-LCP are the streamlining of
the K to 12 Curriculum into the Most Essential
Learning Competencies (MELCs), and allowing of
multiple learning delivery modalities such as
distance learning and blended learning, either on
top or in place of face-to-face learning.

DO: Draw the attention of participants to the LC

Contextualization Diagram (Slide 9).

SAY: The diagram clearly gives each governance

level its role in implementing LCP. We have to
emphasize that the LCP must be appropriate to
the situation in the school. The school head must
decide based on existing data.

conducted by the Region and on the series of
Kumustahan activities.

the LCP of the SDO.

SAY: The school may adopt and implement its

LCP based on the principles set by DepEd Order
No. 12-2020 and on the contextualized LCPs of
the Regional Office and Schools Division Office.
Since there are thousands of schools, the fluidity
of the SDO LCP is indispensable. Major
adjustments are being made at the central and
field levels to enable DepEd to deliver distance
learning at a magnitude never done before. While
the task is daunting, it also compels the
Department to implement innovations already
being done by DepEd and by its education
partners, just on a larger scale. Thus, we are not
really starting from scratch.

SAY: Schools are now gearing up for the opening

of classes. The push back in the formal school
opening by nearly three months from the
traditional first Monday of June is intended to

extraordinarily challenging school year.

also, the trainings the teachers have been
attending and the work arrangement of
teachers.

SAY: The schools are exhausting all means to

male learning happen amid the pandemic. In
fact, teachers have been making supplementary
learning materials like activity sheets and
modules. Various online resources are now also
being prepared by teachers and instructional
leaders. Also, teachers have been attending
orientation and training activities on the use of
the multiple learning delivery modalities,
preparing instructional materials, and planning
the organization of classes in consideration of the
learning delivery modalities to be employed.

DO: Discuss the implementation of Service

Continuity Plan. Emphasize the adherence of
DepEd to minimum health standards.

Concluding Statement:

DepEd is one with the President in his non-

negotiable commitment for health and safety of
learners, teachers, and staff. It is the first and
most important principle of BELCP. However,
BELCP also emphasizes that learning
opportunities may be provided through various
modalities.

DepEd has historically demonstrated resilience in

responding to adversities and in delivering its
commitments and responsibilities. Nonetheless,
the implementation of the BE-LCP will not be
easy. It is also not a perfect plan, and operational
complications can be expected along the way.
Thus, we seek the understanding, support, and
solidarity of our DepEd family and all our
stakeholders, in the true spirit of unity, and
bayanihan or mutual help.
