Orientation on the administration of Learners’ Unified Numeracy Test to parents and guardians of PNHS learners of Rizal I and II was conducted last September 27, 2021 at exactly 8:00 am outside Rizal I Multi-Purpose Hall, Babatngon, Leyte. This was led by Mr. Joshua B. Udtujan, a teacher-in-charge for Brgy. Rizal I & II Learning Hub. The said activity was participated by twenty (20) parents and guardians that were scheduled for limited face-to-face orientation while following the Municipal IATF health protocols: five (5) participants with 8-10 minutes lecture for each batch was allotted.
As stated in DepEd Regional Memorandum No. 280, s. 2021, Reiteration of Regional Memorandum No. 279 s. 2019 Re: Institutionalization of the Conduct of the Unified Numeracy Test, the Department of Education aims to develop learners who are numerates and can apply numeracy skills for various purposes. To help Mathematics teachers and curriculum implementers get an idea about the numeracy skills and levels of their learners in the four mathematical fundamental operations, the DepEd Regional Office VIII, through the Curriculum Learning and Management Division, and in partnership with the different Schools Division Offices, developed a regional numeracy test. To ensure the safety of the learners and provide flexibility to the administration of the Unified Numeracy Test during the pandemic, the test shall be administered using Learning Activity Sheets (LAS) which shall be facilitated by the parents and any qualified family members. Enhanced guidelines are enclosed in the administration of the Unified Numeracy Test to provide guidance.
The orientation activity ended successfully. All parents agreed to collaborate and appreciate the importance of such assessment to enhance the numeracy skills of their children. Both teachers and parents are looking forward to identify areas for improvement and provide appropriate learning interventions.
