STRENGTHENING IMPLEMENTATION

MONITORING, EVALUATION
& ADJUSTMENT (MEA)
TECHNOLOGY
 WHAT IS MEA?
The MEA strategy is a periodic
monitoring and evaluation of the
progress of the school/ district/
division in its delivery of education
services as well as its performance
as an organization.
 As a strategy, it promotes the
participation of the various
units/divisions as well as
administrative units in all the M&E
processes with the end-point of
obtaining information for the
school/district/division/ regional
management to make decisions on
adjusting its work plans and
 The MEA Technology as an M&E
mechanism enables collaborative
data gathering, data validation, data
processing, data consolidation, data
analysis, formulation of
recommendations and information
reporting which are efficient,
relevant, and effective.
 As a result, the decisions
the management makes
address directly and
appropriately the issues
and concerns that need
attention.

 MEA STRATEGY IS ANCHORED ON THE
FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES:
SYSTEMATIC AND SYNERGISTIC
INTEGRATIVE IN APPROACH
STANDARDS BASED AND EVIDENTIARY
DATA-BASED
ALIGNED TO M & E FRAMEWORKS
APPROPRIATE FOR ALL M & E LEVELS AND TASKS
IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION OF ISSUES
The entire strategy utilizes systematic
and synergistic processes that
recognize the roles and functions of
every management level defined by
their respective functions. They make
up a comprehensive monitoring
system showing the vertical
connectivity between their
accountabilities in supporting the
delivery of education services for
improving education outcomes

It utilizes and
incorporates available
information in analyzing
the findings for
meaningful interpretation.
 The acceptance of reported
accomplishments or outputs is
made upon their compliance to set
standards with corresponding
proofs or evidence

Findings and recommendations are

based on empirical data gathered
at every level.
It is an objective way of gathering
information that can inform school, district,
division and regional management for
continuously improving its Delivery of
Education Services , to achieve the desired

outputs and sustainability of Education

Outcomes and the Organizational
Performance at every level for efficient and
effective fulfillment of their respective
mandates
MEA can be used for
getting information needed
to monitor progress,
intermediate results and
outcomes of educational
initiatives

Issues which surface from

the MEA can be given on

DEFINITION OF SOME IMPORTANT TERMS
Physical Output- refers to the accomplished target/s
with in a specific time frame by the
School/District/Cluster District/DO/RO/accountable
person.
Quantitative measurement can be expressed in
absolute numbers or as a percentage
It can also be expressed as a ratio
One way or another, you get quantitative
(number) information by counting or measuring.
Target- refers to the specific deliverable/s within a
unit/section/FD/DO/person for a definite period of
time based on standard set.
Standard- is the quality indicator/s set in content
and process to qualify a specific deliverable as
physical output with MOV/s.
MOV/s- are documents to be presented as pre-
requisite in order to count an accomplished
target as PO.
AS A RULE:
A physical outputs can
only be credited if it
meets standard/s and
has MOV/s.
 Value Added Output (scope creeps) -
output accomplished which are not
originally targeted but was identified as
relevant and needed in support of the DEDP
& BESRA implementation.
Outputs achieved in advance should
not be considered as value added.
Note: scope creeps can sometimes hinder the
delivery of important outputs
Output- refers to the accomplished
target/s with in a specific time frame
by the FDs, Admin & BFD.
AS A RULE:
An output can only be credited if
it meets standard/s and has
MOV/s.
Standard- is the quality indicator/s
set in content and process to qualify
a specific deliverable as output with
MOV/s.
MOV/s- are documents to be
presented as pre-requisite in order to
count an accomplished target as PO.
IDENTIFYING THE ISSUES AND RISKS
Classify issues according to its category e.g.
TECHNICAL, INSTITUTIONAL, FINANCIAL,
POLITICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL/INFRASTRUCTURE,
SOCIAL & GENDER
Identify whether the issues is within control or
beyond control of the FDs/region
Tracking the issues whether, persistent issues,
recurring issues and issues related to gender etc.
IDENTIFY THE HINDERING AND
FACILITATING FACTORS
Identify the hindering and facilitating factors
State the corrective measures for hindering
and sustainability for facilitating
Ascertain and determine the lessons
learned based on the hindering and facilitating
factors
Applying the lessons learned to sustain the
effective delivery of the projects outputs
TIPS ON CREATING LESSONS LEARNED
Lessons learned can be derived from
facilitating and hindering factors.
Lessons learned from facilitating factors are
stated as values/practices that occurred
Lessons learned from hindering are stated
as what could have been done better.
Lessons learned statement is a form of
resolutions/values/principles in
approaching a specific situation
The Ultimate test of a Lesson
Learned statement is this: Others will
be able to derive the following:
In what situation can the lesson be
applied
Which principles/approached can be
applied to a given situation
Why is it valuable to consider the
Lesson
IDENTIFYING THE RECOMMENDATION
FOR ADJUSTMENTS
Identify the recommendation for
adjustments
Getting the balances and issues as bases
for making the recommendations and
adjustments
What to discard?
What to continue?
What to improve?
POST RMEA ACTIVITIES

Consolidate the data by component

Identify the next steps for future activities
Preparation of the RMEA reports
Presentation of the information to the
top management
QUALITY ASSURING THE
ENHANCED SCHOOL
IMPROVEMENT PLAN
(E-SIP) OF THE
SCHOOL HEADS
Reference:

DepEd Order no 44, s. 2015 dated

September 29, 2015
Guidelines on the Enhanced School
Implementation Planning (SIP) Process
and the School Report Card
1. Pursuant to RA 9155 Known as Governance
of Basic Education Act of 2001, this policy aims
to strengthen the SBM by further devolving the
governance of education to schools, empowering
school teams and personnel, expanding
community participation and involvement, and
making the delivery of education services to the
learners more responsive, efficient, and effective
through an enhanced school planning and
communication process
2. The SIP is a roadmap that lays down
specific interventions that the schools, with
the help of the community and other
stakeholders, will undertake within a period
of 3 consecutive Sys. The implementation
of development activities integral to it are in
the school such as projects under the
Continuous Improvement Programs (CIP),
the creation and mobilization of LACs and
the preparation of SRC.
2. SIP seeks to provide those involved
in school planning an evidenced-
based, systematic approach with the
endpoint of view of the learners as the
starting point. Ultimately, it is envisions
to help schools reach the goal of
providing access to quality education.
3. The SRC is a tool for advocating
and communicating the school
situation, context, and performance
to internal and external
stakeholders in making the schools
a better place for learning

Men often become what they
believe themselves to be.
If I believe I cannot do
something, it makes me
incapable of doing it.
But when I believe I can, then
I acquire the ability to do it
even if I didn't have it in the
beginning.
