The Department of Education Division of Siquijor is doubling its effort to improve the outcome of the pupils in the National Achievement Test this month.
Division Superintendent, Dr. Aleli Abne, yesterday ordered intensive implementation of the local version of the Adopt-a-school program, where each education supervisor is given three schools to focus on and assist the principal, and teachers, to improve the performance of students in all subject areas.
Abne instructed supervisors to conduct weekly field visits to schools and monitor the status of the projects that focus mainly on students’ academic performance. 
| GUV SAYS Gov. Emilio Macias II said yesterday he is eyeing the implementation of a new environmental strategy to reduce the level of carbon emissions in Negros Oriental. At a recent meeting held at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Session Hall, Macias discussed the carbon credit scheme introduced by highly industrialized countries, in order to decrease carbon emission. Under the scheme, the governor said he plans to develop the mangroves along the coastal areas in the province. Mangroves are known to absorb more carbon than other trees, Macias said. |
