Designing the Program
Plans need to be constructed with particular features
Key issues for discussion revolve around three areas:
I.
The process of selection of SHS schools and grantees
II. The value of the SHS grant and the methods used
for determining that value
III. The methods for ensuring quality and accountability
for the new SHS
I. The Selection Process
‘Schools’
Sub Questions
Key Questions
i.
Which PHS/HEIs can
participate in SHS?
ii. Who will select the
PHS/HEIs?
• Will existing PHS/HEIs have to
apply for permission to
operate the SHS grades?
• Should there be criteria for
minimum size of the SHS, or
for the health and standards?
• Do we have existing criteria
that we can use (such as # of
classrooms, # of teachers per
section, labs, teaching load
and # of students)?
I. The Selection Process
‘Students’
Sub Questions
Key Questions
i.
ii.
What are the requirements
for students to be eligible
for SHS grants?
Who will select the
students? For an ESC grant
or for a voucher?
• Must the students only come
from public junior high
schools?
• What happens for ESC
grantees who are in private
schools currently?
• Who will select the students
that will stay in public school
for G11 and how many will go
to PHS/HEI?
II. The Value of the Certificate
‘Schools’
Sub Questions
Key Questions
i.
What value will be
placed on the
'certificate‘ or
grant?
ii. Will schools be able
to charge a ‘top up’
on the ESC grant?
•
On what basis will this value be
estimated?
•
For equity purposes, would it be possible
and, if so, desirable to tier the value
according to criteria such as location,
type of school or program, or means of
the grantee?
•
If so what tools do we have for assessing
this value by location or means?
•
If a top up is permitted, should there be
a cap to this top up? If so how much
should this top up be?
II. The Value of the Certificate
‘Students’
Key Questions
i.
How can families make a
choice by comparing the
'top up' charged against
the performance of a
range of different PHS or
HEI?
Sub Questions
• Is it possible for cost and
performance data on
PHS/HEIs to be made
accessible to the consumer?
• If so, what public
(or private?) agency should
have responsibility for
maintaining this data?
III. Quality and Accountability
‘Schools’
Sub Questions
Key Questions
i.
ii.
Who will have
responsibility for
auditing the quality of
the PHS/HEIs?
What performance
criteria should be used
to monitor the quality
of PHS/HEIs provision?
•
Are joint mechanisms needed between
DepEd/CHED and FAPE for auditing the
quality?
•
Do we need to establish a common public
and private entity that monitors and
analyses information on the SHS?
•
Are the current FAPE Certification tools fit
for purpose for SHS?
•
Does FAPE have the capacity to manage
this additional workload?
•
Are there alternative accountability
measures that need to be established?
III. Quality and Accountability
‘Students’
Sub Questions
Key Questions
i.
How can the
performance
criteria on a per
ESC grantee
student be
measured?
• Should ESC grantee payments
be contingent upon the student
maintaining certain
performance and attendance
criteria?
• If so based on what criteria?
• Who would measure and
record that information?
