CID Chief with the  Public Schools District Supervisors do Focus Group Discussion on Technical Assistance Mechanism

​

Technical assistance is one of the key professional activities provided by the Regional Office to the Schools
Divisions, and by the Division Office to the Schools, geared toward giving them support and guidance in identifying
problems and finding the right solutions for a more effective organization.

Republic Act No. 9155, or the “Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001”, decentralized education governance,
and made “the school as the heart of the formal education system” and shifted the focus of education
management to School-Based Management (SBM).
The Department of Education’s Present Initiative, the Basic Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA) has made more specific
the roles and responsibilities of the various levels of the Department in support of School-Based Management. It
has underscored once more that the different levels of the Department have their major responsibilities to their
respective next level office. This means that the Central Office as its main responsibility; and the Division Office has
the schools as its main responsibility in leading, guiding, monitoring & evaluating and in providing technical
assistance towards effective SBM in the schools and eventually, towards achieving higher learning outcome.
