A program that serves students at any level,
serves suspended or expelled students,
serves students whose learning styles are better served in an alternative program,
or provides individualized programs outside of a standard classroom setting in a caring atmosphere in which students learn the skills necessary to redirect their lives.
Teachers that are involved in this program are called “Mobile Teachers” for reasons that they often go about teaching in rural and depressed areas where a majority of their clientele can be found.
The process of integration starts with the students attending a 10 month learning and review session conducted by the Mobile Teacher.
After completion, performance are assessed in preparation for the Accreditation and Equivalency Test (or A&E) that will be given to these students.
Passers of either the Elementary or Secondary Level gets a certificate which bears the signature of the Secretary of the Department of Education.
This allows a passer to be integrated into formal education and also gives them the chance to enroll for a college degree or in technical and vocational courses.
Homeschooling or homeschool (also called home education or home learning) is the education of children at home, typically by parents but sometimes by tutors, rather than in other formal settings of public or private school.
Although prior to the introduction of compulsory school attendance laws, most childhood education occurred within the family or community, homeschooling in the modern sense is an alternative in developed countries to private schools outside the home or educational institutions operated by civil governments.
Home Schooling Home schooling are usually
considered by parents who opt to teach their kids on a one on one basis for various reason.
Home schooling though is not that simple and a lot of parents should consider several things before making the decision. Having the patience to teach ones child is on top of the list as kids don’t usually behave well when their parents are the one’s teaching them.
Another is socialization. School proper offers more activity for a child to engage in to socialize with others. Nevertheless, many parents still consider this method.
Home schooling in the Philippines is something new. For accreditation purposes, a home schooling clientele must go to the DepEd office for validation or they may choose to enroll in a recognized school of the Department of Education. Many universities and catholic organizations are now offering programs for home schooling.
