School Mapping Exercise OVERVIEW OF SCHOOL MAPPING Overview of the School Mapping Exercise OVERVIEW OF SCHOOL MAPPING

What is School Mapping A set of techniques and procedures used: To plan the demand for schools at the local level; To support decision-making on the planning ,policy formulation, resource allocation and prioritization of future school development. School Mapping is defined as A set of techniques and procedures used: To plan the demand for schools at the local level; To support decision-making on the planning ,policy formulation, resource allocation and prioritization of future school development.

Components of School Mapping Database planning and evaluation for prioritization of school development; GIS mapping and database management; Capacity building of DepED Regional Offices, Division Offices and LGUs under decentralization of education management. Components of School Mapping: Database planning and evaluation for prioritization of school development which include the BEIS and the results of the school assessment form; GIS mapping and database management which includes all thematic maps that will be generated on the systems the will be developed; Capacity building of DepED Regional Offices, Division Offices and LGUs under decentralization of education management.

Background of School Mapping The school mapping technique was introduced in the department by OPS through the School Location Planning Project; The project was carried on by TEEP, funded by World Bank and later on, by SEDIP, funded by ADB

Background …. 2 TEEP mapping outputs contributed to the improvement of access to elementary education particularly to the over-all management of pilot elementary schools; SEDIP mapping aimed to develop a comprehensive database on secondary education and provide a tool for school planning in a more rational and efficient manner.

Background …. 3 After turnover of the TEEP and SEDIP outputs to PFSED-OPS, a need for a more detailed and extensive mapping exercise should be undertaken to cover the remaining provinces; In continuing the school mapping exercise, NAMRIA was tapped by the department to provide the following:

Background …. 4 Training of selected DepED engineers and architects on the basics of hazard mapping, map layout, digitizing, data gathering and consolidation of data outputs; Assist DepEd in the integration of TEEP and SEDIP mapping outputs, development and establishment of a School Mapping System as one of the priority projects of PFSED.

Background ….5 On-the-job training of trained engineers and architects was pilot-tested in St. Bernard, Southern Leyte during the Guinsaugon incident.

Objectives of the Development of the GIS-Based School Profiling System GIS will be developed mainly to come up with a computerized prioritization scheme to rank existing schools and municipalities for repair/improvement; For construction of additional classrooms and establishment of new schools

Objectives of the Development of the GIS …. Planning tool for school development and improvement; Management tool for educational administration; Part of Public Information System

Outputs of GIS-Based School Profiling System GIS Planning Atlas Base Maps Thematic Maps Analytical Maps Decision Maps School profile – a document describing the physical, environmental, demographic and other characteristics of a school.

Outputs of GIS-Based …. Cont’d Assessment report – a document on the assessment made to determine the suitability of a school for a particular purpose or with respect to some specifications/ parameters. Site Suitability Analysis – a document on the analysis made to determine the suitable site for school.

Important Uses of Outputs Identification of suitable site for school Assessment of susceptibility of schools or sites to hazards Assessment of the carrying capacity and catchments area of schools Modeling of allocation of resources Site development planning Other related analyses as needed

PFSED’s Roles and Responsibilities Conduct school profiling activities for continuous planning, assessment and development; Conduct continuous assessment and analysis of the conditions of the schools for maintenance and further development; Prepare site development plans and relevant maps required for school profiling, analysis, assessment, maintenance and development;

PFSED’s Roles ….2 Conduct activities for the identification of suitable sites for schools, relocation of schools, and titling of school properties; Publish and provide the management and concerned units and agencies yearly with the school profiling and assessment reports for planning, development and other appropriate actions;

PFSED’s Roles … 3 Prepare hazard-mitigation plans and conduct appropriate measures to ensure the safety in schools used as evacuation centers; Coordinate with the divisions or school management regularly for the school maintenance, relocation and development and related activities;

PFSED’s Plans for Nationwide SME Phase Activity In-Charge Time Table 1 Conduct of Nationwide Orientation-Seminar and Workshop on GISB-SPS PFSED November 2006 2 Conduct of echo-training at the Division level and distribution of survey forms at the Regional level PFSED and RO January 2007 3 Conduct of school survey Schools and DO/RO February 2007 4 Submission of Accomplished Survey Forms at the Central Office RO March 2007

PFSED’s Plans ….. Cont’d Phase Activity In-Charge Time Table 5 Consolidation and Validation of Data PFSED April – June 2007 6 Conduct of Nationwide GPS Survey of all schools June 2007 onwards 7 Downloading of the System at the Regional and Division Level 2008
