“Participants across all education sectors were in unanimous agreement that one of the underlying causes of poor student learning outcomes was the unspoken but common practice of automatic or mass promotion,” she said.
She noted that the practice of mass promotion had been going on for a long time and even students themselves were aware that it was happening. Based on the policy guidelines listed in DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015, the passing grade for students in all learning areas should be 75. For education expert Therese Bustos of the University of the Philippines, retaining or failing children without providing them the necessary support was no guarantee that they would be able to master the competencies needed for the next grade level.
“Participants pointed out that localized assessment of learning loss was a major concern and a necessary precedent to the contextualization of remedial questions [for] students,” she said.
