DepEd New Policy on Assessment and Grading System for SY 2020-2021

The Department of Education (DepEd) said there will be no more periodical examinations in public schools this School Year 2020-2021. 

Instead of giving periodical exams, there will only be written output and performance tasks, DepEd Usec. Diosdado San Antonio explained.

"Ang periodic test, 20 percent ng grade eh. Ang i-a-administer mo, isang araw lang. Ang feeling namin, that's very unfair to the learner, lalo na ang mga learner ngayon, iba't iba ang situwasyon," said San Antonio in an interview.

Usec. san Antonio said that students can write reflections of their readings, or record a speech explaining their understanding of a lesson to show how much they have learned.
