NDMC Attends Regional Conference of Private Education Institutions

The Department of Education SOCCSKSARGEN Region successfully conducted the Regional Conference of Private Education Institutions on September 23–24, 2025, at The Farm @ Carpenter Hill, Koronadal City. The two-day gathering brought together administrators and stakeholders from private schools across the region to strengthen collaboration, align practices with DepEd’s 5-Point Reform Agenda, and advance the Quality Basic Education Development Plan (QBEDP).

Highlights included the launch of the e-FAST App, a digital platform for processing school permits and recognitions, and sessions on the Revised MATATAG Curriculum, class programming, and the strengthened Senior High School curriculum. The second day focused on technical applications for permits, tuition adjustments, and SHS program specializations.

The conference emphasized the vital role of private schools as DepEd’s partners in providing accessible, inclusive, and high-quality education. It served as a platform for shared learning, digital innovation, and partnership toward sustainable educational reform.
