6. SELECTED PUBLIC TECHNICAL- VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS SELECTED PUBLIC TECHNICAL- VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS (modelling schools) Generate research-based inputs with the end view of improving or enhancing the Senior High School implementation in SY 2016- 2017.

7. detect and correct operational problems before the curriculum’s wide-scale implementation through the carrying out of functions or roles, appropriate use of resources, and working based on a prescribed schedule.

28. 1. The 18 modelling schools lack instructional materials, facilities and equipment, and laboratory workshops needed for the Senior High School. This is because the schools were not recipients of the one million subsidies released by DepEd. Moreover, the Senior High School was on its modelling stage, wherein schools just started with their existing resources.

29. 4. Problems that were commonly and most felt by the SHSM implementers were: lack of school funding; lack of classrooms/buildings for the SHS; inadequate facilities and equipment and other support materials; inadequacy of teachers’ training; and absence/inadequate industry partners in the locality.
