Deped found compliant in 14 of 15 PBB indicators
FOLLOWING the assessment of the Inter-agency Task Force on the Harmonization of National Government Performance Monitoring, Information and Reporting Systems (AO25 IATF), the Department of Education (Deped) said that teachers and non-teaching personnel will receive their Performance-based Bonus (PBB) for Fiscal Year 2020.
“We have consistently introduced reforms in our processes to help our employees provide better services to our stakeholders. I thank the whole Deped family for contributing to these reforms and to our goal of improving our performance amidst challenging times,” Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones said, adding that they hope to continue the culture of excellence in the Department as “we strengthen our programs and projects for basic education.”
A letter from AO25 Chairperson and Department of Budget and Management Undersecretary Kim Robert De Leon assessed Deped as compliant in 14 of the 15 applicable indicators for the 2020 PBB. This is the most number of compliant indicators since the start of PBB in 2012.
“Since the start of PBB implementation in 2012, this is the first time that Deped got almost a 100 percent compliance in all of the PBB indicators,” Undersecretary Wilfredo Cabral emphasized.
Cabral said that Deped is ensuring that it will continue its process improvement through the institutionalization of the National Quality Management System (NQMS) to meet the eligibility indicators for PBB 2021.
“[Deped] embarked on developing the BE-LCP to enable basic education learners to continue learning and for teachers to deliver instruction in a safe work and learning environment amid the threat of Covid-19,” AO25 IATF said in its final assessment on streamlining and process improvement of agency services indicator.
The Deped has also requested AO25 IATF for a re-validation on the submission of Undertaking of Early Procurement for at least 50 percent of goods and services after Deped’s PBB Secretariat assessed Central Office and all Regional Offices compliant on the said indicator, as of October 15, 2021.
