01/05/2010

It is evidently proven that the changes implemented by the BEAM project have been completely consistent with those being advocated by the Philippine Government under its national reform agenda, the three regions are well advanced in the implementation of the BESRA and have been able to share what they have achieved with the other regions across the country to assist them in affecting similar changes in their schools.

One of those was the establishment of the Human Resource Information System (HRIS) which is a product of the BEAM project and became a nationwide program to store all informations profile of teaching and non-teaching personnel that will produce most of the needed information which are reliable and readily available. With this, budget preparation at Division and Regional levels normally takes five or more days every year, a long and painstaking process, will be done in only two days.

The BEAM-ARMM will manage in a 12-month program focus on working with DepEd-ARMM through the newly created Special Projects Coordinating Office (SPCO) of the Donor Convergence Coordinating Committee and the BEAM project team will move from working with the DepEd-ARMM staff detailed full-time to the project.
