Learner Information System (LIS) is introduced by the Department of Education to make things easier for the teachers and also for the education agency as well.

Every learner has been issued a learner reference number (LRN) for easy tracking of his whereabout and for the DepEd to maintain a learner registry for that matter.

With the teacher's job made easy especially in providing a complete learner profile and with a voluminous learner data in a centralized registry of learner, the DepEd could have the assurance of genuine, reliable, valid info of those learners for an accurate decision making.

LIS help desk was created to handle those unhealthy situations. With the diligence, invaluable services of those members of LIS team of admins, data issues and corrections guides were created to address effectively and inteligently the common problems which every teacher, ICT coordinator, and even school head confronting everytime they open their LIS school account.

The Child Well-being Is Everyone's Business

by Gil Camporazo

Have you read the African literature that it takes the whole community to educate the child? And providing the child his education is one of his inalienable rights. To fully cater to the holistic development of the child, his nature should seriously be taken into account.

In my practical point of view as asked by the first trainor, Mam Castro of Doña Hortencia Salas Benedicto National High School (DHSBNHS), Balabag Extension, I have defined child's traits through an acrostic like C for curious, H for humble, I for inquisitive, L for loving, and D for desirous to know more, an endless crave for knowledge.

There are situations, events, incidents in the life of the child that his rights are not respected, are not observed instead they're withheld and even curtailed. They're even maltreated, abused, exploited. That is why to address this malpractices of parents, relatives, and even teachers who handle them during class hours, there measures may include proper information dissemination, training for the parents, and community-sharing responsibility.
