Do you have an error in your school records? Maybe your name is misspelled, or your birthday is wrong. If so, you can get it fixed! This blog post will walk you through the process of requesting a correction to your school records in the Philippines.
What you can fix
This process is for fixing purely typographical errors in your records. This means that it can only be used to fix things like misspelled words, incorrect dates, or wrong punctuation.
What you can't fix
This process cannot be used to fix more serious errors, such as incorrect grades or disciplinary records. If you need to fix one of these errors, you will need to talk to your school principal or another administrator.
How to request a correction
The first step is to find out the checklist of requirements and the process flow for requesting a correction to your school records. You can find this information in the DepEd Citizen's Charter 2024 (1st edition) https://www.deped.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/DepEd_CC_033024_compressed.pdf.
Once you have reviewed the requirements and process flow, you can gather the necessary documents and submit them to your concerned schools division office. The DepEd Citizen's Charter will tell you exactly what documents you need to submit.
Once you have submitted your request
Once you have submitted your request, the schools division office will review your documents and make a decision. If they approve your request, they will issue a Resolution directing the correction of the error in your records.
I hope this helps!
If you have any questions about this process, you can contact your school principal or another school administrator.
