Aiming to improve the quality of service it provides to its clientele, DepEd Sarangani gathered its key personnel for a two-day refresher on February 23 and 24 at Venue 88 Convention Center, General Santos City, on the different modules of the National Quality Management System.

Nerissa Alfafara, CESE, OIC-Assistant Schools Division Superintendent emphasized the importance of learning about and aligning to the principles of QMS, saying that it is key to meeting the standards of ISO 9001:2015, which is the gold standard in assessing the quality of services offered by an organization.

“We have already started our virtual orientations last year, but we want everybody to have a clearer understanding of the QMS principles. That is why we are having this face-to-face review,” she said.

The roster of speakers include the QMS leaders from the DepEd Regional Office, including the Chief of the Quality Assurance Division Luz Lalli Ferrer, Supervision Administrative Officer Kathrine Lotilla, and Chief Human Resources Development Division Mervie Seblos.

Schools Division Superintendent GIldo G. Mosqueda, CEO VI recalled the result of the recent Customer Satisfaction Survey and said that it is an important tool to assess the organization’s quality of service delivery.





After analyzing the result, he concluded that “If you want to be effective, you must have the right attitude,” Mosqueda said.

“No matter how good our management system is, without the right attitude, it will fail. Even if you have the knowledge or even if you are hardworking, if you don't have the right attitude, it will be for nothing,” he added.

Quality Management Representative Renetchie Martinez, the Senior Education Program Specialist for Planning and Research, is hopeful that the objectives of the activity will be attained and that the QMS principles will be effectively implemented in DepEd Sarangani.

WHY QMS? Chief of Quality Assurance Division of DepEd Regional Office XII asks the participants whether they know the reason why DepEd Sarangani gives importance to QMS.




LEARNING FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF ROXII.  As she introduced the invited speakers, SEPS Renetchie Martinez appreciates how the Regional Office sets as an example for SDO Sarangani. DepEd ROXII is an ISO-certified organization.

By Ariel Lalisan
Sa gitna ng pananabik ng mga kabataan at magulang sa muling pagbubukas ng mga paaralan ngayong unang araw ng SY 2022-2023, paalala ng School Health and Nutrition Section ng DepEd Sarangani na unahin dapat ang kaligtasan ng lahat. Ayon kay Mary Rose Wenna Ea, Nurse II, napag-alaman na sa kanilang paglilibot, may ilang mga mag-aaral na pumasok pa rin kahit mayroong lagnat. Sa entrance pa lamang ay sinusukat na ang temperatura ng lahat na pumapasok sa paaralan at agad na dinadala sa isolation area at pinapasundo sa magulang o guardian. Pinapayuhan naman ang mga magulang na huwag munang hayaang makihalubilo sa iba ang mga batang may lagnat at huwag na munang papasukin sa klase. “Kailangang mapangalagaan natin ang bawat isa -- lalo na ang mga kabataan -- dahil magkakasama na sa isang silid ang mga bakunado at hindi bakunado,” paliwanag ng nars. Dagdag pa niya na mahalagang mapanatili ang maayos na bentilasyon sa mga silid-aralan at kailangan laging nakasuot ng mask. Sa kanilang ...
