The National Learning Camp (NLC) has always been a cornerstone of the Department of Education’s (DepEd) efforts to enhance the learning experience of students across the country. This year, the NLC has taken on an even more significant role, providing a much-needed boost to the educational journey of students.
A New Approach to Learning
The NLC is an integral part of the overarching National Learning Recovery Program (NLRP), a three to five-week voluntary program. This year, the NLC has been tailored to focus on specific learning areas, concentrating on Reading and Mathematics for Grades 1 to 3, and English, Science, and Mathematics (ESM) for Grades 7 to 10.
The Three Camps
The NLC is implemented in three camps: Enhancement, Consolidation, and Intervention. Each camp offers a unique approach to learning, catering to the diverse needs of the students. For the End-of-School-Year (EOSY) break 2024, activities in the Consolidation and Intervention Camps will be conducted within three weeks, from July 1 to 19, 2024.
Remedial Classes and Early Registration
While the NLC is in its phased implementation, schools can conduct Remedial classes for learners in Grades 4, 5, 6, 11, and 12 who did not meet the expectations in one or two learning areas in School Year 2023-2024. Early registration for the NLC was conducted from April 18 to May 3, 2024.
Assessments
Assessments are a crucial part of the NLC. Schools administered the EOSY Comprehensive Rapid Literacy Assessment (CRLA) and Rapid Mathematics Assessment (RMA) for Grades 1 to 3 between April 22 to May 10. The Bureau of Education Assessment (BEA) administered the National Learning Camp Assessment (NLCA) for Grades 7 and 8 from March 11 to April 12 and Grades 9 and 10 from April 22 to May 16.
Conclusion
The National Learning Camp is a testament to the Department of Education’s commitment to providing quality education to all students. Despite the challenges of the past year, the NLC has shown that with dedication, innovation, and a student-centered approach, we can continue to enhance the learning experience for our students.
