PASIG CITY, 23 July 2024 – Education Secretary Sonny Angara signed on Monday a memorandum extending the deadline of submission for SY 2023-2024 performance ratings until September 2024, while deferring the implementation of the Results-Based Performance Management System (RPMS) for all school-based personnel for School Year (SY) 2024-2025.
Under the memorandum, the RPMS submission for SY 2023-2024 will be moved to September 15 for performance review and evaluation, and September 30, 2024 for performance rewarding and development planning.
The adjustment was set to avoid consequences and possible grounds for disqualifications from monetary and non-monetary performance-related incentives such as step increments, training opportunities, promotion, and educational support among others.
Meanwhile, for SY 2024-2025, all RPMS-related activities at the school level shall be deferred until further notice, including performance planning and commitment, monitoring, assessment, and evaluation of the school and individual personnel.
Sec. Angara noted that this is in response to the need for teaching and non-teaching personnel to focus on the preparations for the opening of classes for SY 2024-2025.
“Ang reklamo ng mga teachers is nakakasabay siya [RPMS] sa bukasan ng pasukan. So, ang daming kailangang documentation, tapos sabay ‘yong Brigada Eskwela, sabay ‘yong opening of classes,” Angara said.
Angara has likewise instructed the Executive Committee of the DepEd to form a Task Force to review and study the implementation of RPMS at the school level for SY 2024-2025 to streamline, improve, and simplify its processes and requirements.
“Bubuo tayo ng isang task force upang araling simplehan at padaliin ang requirement na ito,” Angara said, emphasizing that “klaro ang utos ng ating Civil Service Commission na kailangan ang mga ganitong klaseng evaluation process.”
For non-school based personnel in the DepEd Central Office, Regional Offices, and Schools Division Offices, the implementation of RPMS for FY 2024 will proceed as planned.
