The Department of Education (DepEd) adopts the Basic Education Development Plan or BEDP 2030 as a medium term plan for the DepEd covering all formal education from Kindergarten (K), elementary, Junior High School (JHS), to Senior High School (SHS), as well as nonformal education through the Alternative Learning System (ALS).
DepEd Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones said, BEDP 2030 is rooted in DepEd aspirations and priorities, national government development agenda, international commitments, and global trends in education adapted to the Philippine context. It describes linkages to the relevant agencies in the early childhood, higher, and technical and vocational education sectors. “It is anchored on the goal of the Department that all Filipinos can realize their full potential and contribute meaningfully to a cohesive nation through the protection and promotion of the right to education,” Sec. Briones said.
The BEDP 2030 is aimed to serve as blueprint for DepEd in the next decade in formulating, implementing, coordinating, monitoring, evaluating, and supervising policies, plans, programs, and projects in the areas of formal and nonformal basic education; provide strategic roadmap for the Department to follow to improve the delivery and quality of basic education and the experience of learners in the basic education learning environment; and address the immediate impacts of pandemic on learning and participation, addressing learning loss while deepening learning gains; close the remaining access gaps; confront the issue on education quality; and anticipate the future of education and introduce innovations in fostering resiliency and embedding the rights of children and the youth in education.
All DepEd offices and units in all governance levels shall align their policies, plans, and programs with the BEDP 2030. ###
