The Department of Education (DepEd), for its part, has not just made its DepEd Commons website free to access through mobile (without data charges) but has also uploaded its Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs). MELCs is an outline of the topics under each subject that students in various grade levels need to have mastered by a given period. It currently covers Kinder until Grade 12 curriculum.
To access the MELCs, just go to commons.deped.gov.ph/melc. Just like the rest of the Commons website, these modules can be accessed and downloaded for free. It is accompanied by corresponding guidelines, prepared by the Bureau of Curriculum Development (BCD), under Director Jocelyn Andaya, and approved by Undersecretary Diosdado San Antonio (Curriculum and Instruction).
For households who are without the necessary electronic devices to access the learning portal and its resources, DepEd also announced that printouts will also be provided for those enrolled in public schools. DepEd is also ironing out the means to make radio and television alternative learning channels.
