By Dr. Jonas H. Jomonong
BUTUAN CITY, June 7 (PIA) - The Division of Butuan
City recently joined the whole nation in the conduct of the 2015 Oplan Balik
Eskwela with the highlight of the Inter-Agency Convergence Meeting on May 29,
2015 at Roldan’s Eat All You Can Convention Hall here.
The said convergence was presided by the no less
than the schools division superintendent Arsenio Cornites Jr. and was graced by
the participating agencies like the Department of Public Works and Highways
(DPWH), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Department of Interior and
Local Government (DILG), Office of Civil Defense (OCD), Philippine National
Police (PNP), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), City Disaster Risk Reduction
Management Council (DRRMC), Radyo ng Bayan and the City Councilor Ramon P. Carampatana.
The said activity aims to facilitate comprehensive
dissemination and discussion on the details of the Oplan Balik Eskwela.
In a larger sense, Oplan Balik Eskwela was
cascaded to all public elementary and secondary schools as its implementing arms
to make the necessary preparations for the opening of classes.
In line with this, Bit-os Elementary School has
activated the said endeavor in all grade levels concern making it sure that all
pupils are already enrolled and are able to attend the first day of classes on
June 1.
Oplan Balik Eskwela (OBE) Action Center was very
visible in the school that will cater immediate concerns of parents and pupils
most specially those who are transferred in as well and facilitate them on what
to do and what they need to know on K to 12 as part the school’s advocacy
campaign.
In addition, the “No Collection Policy” was given
emphasis by the school admnistration which means that parents and pupils need
not to worry on school fees for they are made to know that no single amount
will be collected and paid for all other fees.
It is indeed very essential for anyone especially
the classroom teachers to be open in all possibilities in order for them not to
be taken by surprise if ever there are monitoring teams to visit the school
anytime.
This is in line with the Oplan Balik Eskwela which
aims to address the problems commonly encountered at the start of the school
year to ensure that pupils/students are already properly enrolled and able to
attend school by the first day of classes. (DepEd Butuan City/PIA-Agusan del
