This is being done through division memorandum number 072, series of 2023. This congress is being held after the CI projects of the select schools in the division have been satisfactorily evaluated and concluded.

The purpose of continuous improvement at the Department of Education is to ensure that the education system is efficient, effective, and responsive to the needs of learners and other stakeholders. It is a planned method to find places to improve, put solutions in place, and keep track of how things are going.The Department of Education (DepEd) uses a quality management system to accomplish its goal of continuous improvement. This system includes a number of processes, including planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. With the help of this method, the department is able to determine what needs to be fixed, establish goals, make adjustments, and continually monitor its progress.
In addition, the purpose of the memorandum is to highlight and celebrate the success of the gains made in the implementation of the CI project, gather the information and processes that need to be benchmarked to increase literary and numeracy competence among schoolchildren, and share the best practices on addressing literacy and numeracy through the implementation of a school CI project. This will be done by sharing the best practices on addressing literacy and numeracy through the implementation of a school CI project.
Additionally, the CI teams that will be participating in the activity will demonstrate the process of their project through a video presentation as well as a booth display in order to show their results and accomplishments for the purposes of benchmarking.
In order to provide a basis for identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the education system, identifying priority areas for improvement, and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions, DepEd Butuan is constantly seeking improvement efforts through the conduct of innovative research and evaluation studies. This is done in the hope of improved student outcomes, increased teacher effectiveness, higher overall school performance, and a higher overall quality of education. ###
