You Can Still Be an Honor Student

Feeling 75 in One Subject? Don't Sweat! You Can Still Be an Honor Student (Thanks to DepEd Order No. 36, s. 2016!)

Hey there, students! Ever stressed about that one subject dragging down your overall average? Fear not! Even with a 75 in a specific learning area, you can still achieve honor student status thanks to DepEd Order No. 36, s. 2016. Let's break it down:

What's DepEd Order No. 36, s. 2016?

This DepEd order outlines the policy guidelines on awards and recognition for the K to 12 Basic Education Program. It emphasizes holistic development and individual growth over rigid competition.

So, how does it help you?

Here's the key: awards and recognition are no longer solely based on ranking within your class. Instead, DepEd Order No. 36, s. 2016 focuses on meeting specific criteria across different areas:

• Academic Achievement: This considers your general average, not just individual subject grades. So, if your overall average is at least 89.5 or 90, even with a 75 in one subject, you're still eligible for honor student recognition!
• Personal Development: This assesses your values, attitudes, and behavior. Are you a responsible, respectful, and engaged student? These qualities matter!
• Service: Contributing to your school and community through clubs, activities, or volunteer work can boost your recognition potential.

Remember:

• Check your school's specific implementation of DepEd Order No. 36, s. 2016. Different schools might have additional criteria or weightings for different areas.
• Focus on overall improvement. While a 75 might not be ideal, consistent effort and progress can still impress!
• Don't neglect your weak subject. Seek help from teachers, tutors, or study groups to understand the concepts better.

The takeaway? DepEd Order No. 36, s. 2016 gives you a fair shot at being an honor student, even if you face challenges in one subject. Remember, academic achievement is just one part of the story. Embrace holistic development, showcase your strengths, and keep striving for your best!

Now go out there and shine! ✨
