READING BRIGADE INCLUSIVITY IN INSUFFICIENCY JNHS expects classroom shortage for s.y. 2024-2026 i Lori Blezl Torreco As the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) proclaimed the removal of SHS in SUCs and LUCs, Jasaan National High School is expecting an increase in the SHS population and a shortage of classroom capacities. According to the planning officer of the Division Office of Misamis Oriental, to lessen the burden on schools, the school was advised to prioritize the grade 10 students coming from Jasaan National High School. “We already have the initial number of students who signed up to enroll in Jasaan National High School. Of the 600 enrollees, maybe 75% are from JNHS and the other 25% are from other schools,” the school principal, Mrs. Arancon, said. In the initial planning of JNHS, the shifting of classes is also expected. “Kung mo more than og 1000 ang students, we have an initial plan to have a shifting of classes, including grade 10,” Mrs. Arancon said. “If the DepEd will tell us not to say no to the enrollees, dili gyud ta pwede kay inclusive education baya, education for all,” Mrs. Arancon added.

o zero down non-readers and reduce the number of frustration readers, Jasaan National High School established a Grade 7 section that is especially intended for struggling readers identified during the reading assessment conducted during the early registration and enrollment of the school. A total of 34 Grade 7 learners were grouped together to form a special reading class to cater to their reading difficulties. In an interview, Academic Coordinator, Jo Ann Katherine Z. Valledor said that the move is an innovation to improve reading. “One with DepEd, the school acknowledges the importance of reading and its role in the teaching and learning process,” Valledor explained. Valledor added that the school principal, Mrs. Fe D. Arancon takes reading seriously. “Ma’am Fe belives that in grouping them in one section they can be given focus in teaching,” Valledor said. According to the data from the Guidance Office, students with difficulties in reading are among those who are at risk of dropping out. “These students often drop out from school because either they cannot catch up or they feel ashamed,” Guidance Counselor Cheryl Pernia explained.
Class mechanics The special grade 7 class still follows the K to 12 curriculum with a special addition of reading class with their Provincial Governmentfunded reading teacher Mrs. Rosal Carmona. “We are thankful of Governor Peter Unabia for giving us a reading teacher who will help our teachers teach these students improve their reading skills,” School Principal Fe Arancon said. In addition, Arancon also stated that all the Master Teachers of the school were asked to teach the class. “We want to give the best to these learners so we are assigning the best teachers in school so we can assure that quality teaching and learning is served,” Arancon added.
Parents reactions In an interview, one of the parents said that they are happy that their children were given attention and priority in school.
“Mapasalamaton mi nga gitagaan ug pansin among mga anak aron makatoon jud sila ug basa,”she said.
Teachers’ experiences On the other hand, Mrs. Orgenia Ganzan, one of the teachers in class shared that she is happy of the progress that the learners “You will really see their progress not only in reading but also in their interest in learning, even their behavior changed,”Ganzan said. Class adviser Amylou Ladera shared that at first she was worried and afraid of the responsibility given to her but now has adjusted. “Naguol ko at first pero nalipay sab nga nagtrust ang admin sa ako,”Ladera said. Ladera added that she has learned to love her students now. “Gusto ko motabang sa ilaha dili lang sa acads hopefully sa ilang mga ginagmay na needs diri sa school kay malooy man gyud ko sa ilaha”, she said.
