Information at your fingertips: a giant leap for Philippines education

Jun. 07, 2007

I will definitely support this system, not only for Regions XI, XII and ARMM, but all regions in the country as well. BEAM has shown the way for us, expressed Usec. Sangil.

According to Leonila Joson, Personnel Division OIC of DepEd Central Office, We recognize this HR/Payroll system is the best answer to the challenge posed to us to establish an updated and unified database for our teachers after a series of recent workshops across the country. It has long been our dream to automate our database. Now, it is turning into a reality.

The HRI System will be fully-implemented in Regions XII and ARMM in Mindanao and proposed to be trialed in National Capital Region (NCR) and Regions IV-A and B. A technical working group will be established by the department with DepEd XI and BEAM officials providing support in its implementation.

We are pleased to make a contribution to a significant area of the Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA). Teachers will now feel happier and committed that will result to a change in classroom interaction and improve the quality of learning. BEAM has been a catalyst for this change explains Dr. Ian DArcy Walsh, BEAM Australian Project Director. The Project will provide additional assistance to DepEd for additional functionality support of the HRI System.

BEAM is a Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) project aiming to improve the quality of and access to basic education in Southern and Central Mindanao. It is funded by the Government of Philippines (GoP) and the Government of Australia through a AUD36 million grant from the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID). (PIA Dispatch)
