DepEd Guidelines on Conducting a Project for Innovation in School

Innovation is the introduction of new ideas, goods, services, and practice which are intended to be useful. It could address gaps on access, quality and relevance and governance or management of education service, such as: increase enrolment/participation rate and reduce drop-out, and failure rates; improve academic performance, and enhance learning environment/improve physical facilities. It could be a product of contextualization and indigenization.

Who will innovate?

Teachers, Master Teachers, Head Teachers, Principals, and Non-teaching personnel.

Project Classification

  1. Access
  2. Quality and Relevance
  3. Governance

Note: All project proposals related to DepEd’s current projects and programs are not necessarily to be approved as innovation for these are embodied in the SIP/AIP of the school.

Examples: Gulayan sa Paaralan, Pera sa Basura, Construction of school fence, footwalk, school gate, parks, water supply/hand washing facilities, and playground amenities.

  4. I Think “Gulayan sa Paaralan” sa paaralan cannot be a Innovation Project since it is national program and an amount is allocated for the purpose
