Post-Implementation Stage of Brigada Eskwela 2025: Ensuring Continuity and Recognition

The Post-Implementation Stage of Brigada Eskwela is not merely a wrap-up phase—it's a vital continuation that guarantees the sustainability of community engagement, proper acknowledgment of stakeholder efforts, and institutional accountability. After the bustling week of cleanup drives, repairs, and volunteer work, this phase ensures that all contributions are documented, reported, and celebrated, reinforcing a culture of shared responsibility in the educational sector.

Post-Implementation Stage of Brigada Eskwela 2025


πŸ“Š Consolidating and Submitting the Accomplishment Report

Following Brigada Eskwela week, schools begin the meticulous process of accomplishing and submitting their official report. This is not just paperwork—it validates the tangible outcomes of all the community’s efforts. Schools are mandated to submit their Brigada Eskwela Report through the DepEd Partnerships Database System (DPDS).

For School Year 2025–2026, all reported data from May to June 2025 in the DPDS will be tagged as 2025 Brigada Eskwela-generated resources. Any technical concerns about reporting should be addressed to support.dpds@deped.gov.ph to ensure smooth documentation.

Even projects completed outside the official Brigada Eskwela week but still involving stakeholders must be reported. It's also critical that all donated properties, whether classified as property, plant, or equipment, are properly recorded in the school’s books per DO No. 082, s. 2011.

Required documents include:

  • Inventory Custodian Slip for donations below ₱50,000

  • Property Acknowledgment Receipt for donations above ₱50,000

This safeguards transparency and ensures compliance with government financial regulations.


πŸ”„ Sustaining Brigada Eskwela Beyond the Week

The essence of Brigada Eskwela extends beyond a single week—it is a year-round commitment to providing a conducive learning environment for students. Sustainability comes through continuous partnership, ongoing communication, and shared goals.

To maintain momentum:

  • Schools must thank stakeholders through letters of appreciation, encouraging further collaboration.

  • Schools should update stakeholders regularly on the status of school programs and activities.

  • Open channels for dialogue such as fora and focus group discussions help capture stakeholder insights.

  • Actively involve partners in other school events throughout the academic year.

  • Hold recognition ceremonies to show gratitude for stakeholders’ invaluable contributions.

These actions reinforce a spirit of unity and ensure that community involvement remains strong throughout the school year.


🧾 Service Credits and Compensatory Time-Off for Personnel

To honor the dedicated service of teaching and non-teaching personnel during Brigada Eskwela, the Department of Education grants:

  • Vacation Service Credits to teachers:
    One day of credit for every eight hours of voluntary service, with a cap of five days, aligned with DO 13, s. 2024.

  • Compensatory Time Off (CTO) for non-teaching staff:
    Eight hours of service rendered during weekends or holidays equates to one day CTO.

Additionally, DepEd employees may be allowed to participate for two days on official time, reinforcing the collective mission of school readiness.


πŸ† Recognition and Appreciation of Stakeholders and Partners

One of the most meaningful parts of the Post-Implementation Stage is the formal recognition of contributions. Recognition is a way to express gratitude while motivating ongoing support.

Recognition may be awarded at multiple levels:

  • School, District, and Division Levels
    Stakeholders who have consistently supported schools for three consecutive years—such as local government units (LGUs), private organizations, or non-government organizations (NGOs)—may receive institutional awards.

    Individuals like the Mayor, Barangay Captain, School Head, or Partnership Focal Person may also be acknowledged for exceptional dedication.

  • At the Schools Division Office (SDO)
    The Schools Division Superintendent (SDS) leads the selection committee, with input from the SGOD Chief and the SEPS for Social Mobilization and Networking.

  • At the Regional Level
    The Regional Director chairs the recognition committee, supported by the ESSD Chief and the Regional Partnership Focal Person. Special commendations may also be awarded to Exemplary Division Partnership Focal Persons.

Expenses for recognition programs—such as certificates, plaques, and celebration events—can be sourced from Regional and Division MOOE, or other approved program support funds, provided these adhere to standard government accounting procedures.


🎯 Final Thoughts: A Culture of Appreciation and Accountability

The Post-Implementation Phase ensures that Brigada Eskwela is not just an annual event, but a sustained movement of collective action and gratitude. Through diligent reporting, stakeholder engagement, service compensation, and recognition, the program continues to thrive—and so does the spirit of Bayanihan in education.

Understanding Grade Transmutation in DepEd

Understanding Grade Transmutation in DepEd In the Philippine education system, grade transmutation is the process of converting raw scores into equivalent grades. This ensures consistency and fairness when assessing student performance. DepEd follows specific guidelines for transmuting grades, allowing educators to evaluate students objectively. How Does Grade Transmutation Work? Initial Grades : Students receive raw scores (usually out of 100) for their assessments, exams, and projects. These initial grades serve as the basis for transmutation. Transmuted Grades : To convert initial grades into transmuted grades, DepEd uses a predefined scale. Let’s take a closer look at the scale: Table Initial Grade Range Transmuted Grade 100 100 98.40 – 99.99 99 96.80 – 98.39 98 … … 68.00 – 69.59 80 Below 68.00 60 Interpreting the Scale : For example, if a student scores between 98.40 and 99.99, their transmuted grade will be 99. Similarly, an initial grade of 85.60 – 87.19 corresponds to a transm...
