CALAMBA CITY, Laguna (PIA) - The Department of Education (DepEd) in Calabarzon continues to strengthen learners literacy and numeracy skills, aiming to reduce the regions remaining low literacy and illiteracy rates. DepEd Calabarzon Chief Education Supervisor Elino Garcia said the education department is implementing the Cognitive Activities for Reading Enhancement + Numeracy (CARE+1), a summer intervention program to support students who need additional assistance in literacy and numeracy from grade school to senior high school. Grounded in science and mathematics, it reflects our commitment to data-driven, inclusive remediation directly aligned with the gap in comprehension and reading application revealed in the FLEMMS 2024, Garcia explained during the Philippine Statistics Authoritys 2024 Functional Literacy, Education and Mass Media Survey Regional Dissemination Forum. The PSA Calabarzon revealed that 92.6 percent or nine out of 10 individuals aged 5 years old and over residing in the region are basic literate or can read, write with understanding and can compute. Meanwhile, 2.6 percent are considered low literate (can read and write only), and 4.7 percent are illiterate (cannot read and write) within the same age group. Garcia said the program also emphasizes data-driven instruction, with learners undergoing pre- and post-assessments to monitor progress. Teachers receive orientation and development training to ensure effective delivery of the CARE+1 modules. This is the current program underway in Calabarzon across all divisions and in selected schools, after identifying learners with low performance in foundational learning. Remediation activities are being provided to support our learners, Garcia added. The CARE+1 program reflects DepEd Calabarzons strong commitment to addressing learning gaps worsened by recent educational disruptions, focusing on critical reading and numeracy skills to equip students with improved competencies and greater confidence for the upcoming academic year.
