School Mapping December 14, 2013

We dream of Filipinos who passionately love their country and whose competencies and values

enable them to realize their full potential and contribute meaningfully to building the nation.

As a learner-centered public institution,

the Department of Education continuously improves itself

to better serve its stakeholders.

OUR VISION

To protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable,

culture-based, and complete basic education where:

OUR MISSION

Students learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and

motivating environment

Teachers facilitate learning and constantly nurture every learner

Administrators and staff, as stewards of the institution, ensure an

enabling and supportive environment for effective learning to

happen.

Family, community, and other stakeholders are actively engaged and

share responsibility for developing life-long learners.

Progress

Plotted educational institutions will become

a critical component in:

• planning process

• definition of programs

• allocation of resources

• other critical decisions

MAPAaralan Project! School Mo, I-Pin Mo!

An on-going project of mapping all the schools - public

and private, and including higher educational institutions

and tech-voc institutions.

The objective is to plot all educational institutions that will

become a critical component in planning process,

definition of programs, allocation of resources, and

other critical decisions that have a great impact on

schools.

MAPAaralan Project! School Mo, I-Pin Mo!

With all schools in the map and the information in our

schools database, we will be able to understand our

education system better, determine unique and relevant

initiatives, and become more efficient in the roll-out of

programs and projects.

How many schools do we have?

DepEd has 46,603 Public Schools which

comprises of:

38,689 Elementary Schools and

7,914 Secondary Schools

Mapping

• School locations are gathered using Google Maps

• During the first phase, Division ICT Coordinators were

tasked to create maps per division

• The next phase involved DepEd employees

• Map links are sent to DepEd Central Office for

consolidation

Mapping

• Map links are checked for format compliance and KML

file is downloaded.

• KML files are merged using Google Earth and the

loaded to Google Fusion Table for further processing

Issues in Using Google Maps

• Satellite images are not clear or have clouds over areas

• Difficulty in establishing internet connection in the area

• Limitations in Google Maps

• Google Fusion Tables

• GeoCommons

Data Visualization

Map of Schools with Computers and

Internet

Map of Electricity Supply

Combined with visualization, these systems can

create powerful and informative datasets
