PALO,
Leyte, Aug. 7-- The Department of Education (DepEd) regional office here is
stepping up efforts to sustain local banner projects highlighting the role of
school leaders in carrying out basic education policy and principles in their
campuses.
Jasmin
Calzita, DepEd Eastern Visayas regional information officer, said that
strengthening Project LEAD (Lead, Empower, and Achieve through Data- Driven
Decisions) is needed after it was aunched late last year.
“The
purpose of the regional banner project is to empower school leaders to achieve
data driven decisions leading the schools to greater heights,” Calzita said on
Monday.
Earlier,
the education department held a session on Legacy-Drive Leadership and a School
Leaders’ Congress joined by key education officials to intensify its call for
school leader empowerment and to put premium on the capacity of the region’s
school leaders to achieve Project LEAD’s goals.
“Eventually this will create
great schools in Eastern Visayas because they are empowered,” Calzita added.
This
project is a regional-initiated project in pursuance to Republic Act 9155
otherwise known as Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001. The law
highlights the role of school leaders in localizing basic education policy and
principles into projects and services that would fit and address the needs of
school community.
The DepEd
launched the banner project on November 8, 2016 as part of the third
commemoration of super typhoon "Yolanda".

inspire all the 13 school division superintendents and teams to cascade the
same initiative in their respective divisions in order for the schools to come
up with their own projects. (SQM/With reports by Alecxis L. Panganiban,
