plementing of Senior High School.

In order to orient campus journalists and ob-serving school paper advisers, Dr. Isidro M. Biol Jr., re-gional journalism coordinator, spearheaded a coner-ence on the ull implementation o the senior high schoolhere at the Provincial Capitol Social Hall, this morning. Te conerence aimed to provide orthe implementing rules and guidelines in the ullblast implementation o the senior high schoolwhich is expected to take ull effect this 2016. Te Philippines, although, undeni-ably seemed to be crippled with some acili-ties and equipments, but the K-12 implemen-tation cannot be daunted, stressed Dr. Biol.

He also mentioned some o theschools who will be the pilot schools and willserve as testing schools who are to offer vari-ous vocational, technical and academic cours-

es geared towards the basic aims o the Education For All (EFA) scheme. We may seem to be not ready or this, but since we orm part o the educative pro-cess o the Department o Education (DepEd), we have to embrace this change, he concluded.
