1. The Department of Education (DepEd) remains committed to addressing learning loss and closing the learning gaps reflected in national and international large-scale assessments.

2. As part of this effort, DepEd will offer Summer Programs to prepare learners concerned for the school year 2025-2026. These programs go beyond mere remediation; they are intended to proactively prepare learners for success in the next school year. By offering a diverse range of interventions focused on foundational literacy and numeracy, and leveraging resources from the National Learning Camp, DepEd aims to ensure that all learners have the support they need to excel. These programs shall be thoughtfully designed to align with, complement, and seamlessly integrate into the Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning (ARAL) Program throughout the coming school year, as provided under Republic Act No. 12028.

II. POLICY STATEMENT

3. To address the alarming finding in the Comprehensive Rapid Literacy Assessment (CRLA) for End of School Year (EOSY) 2024-2025, that more than 50% of Grades 1-3 learners are not reading at grade level, the DepEd is implementing targeted literacy programs this summer. These aim to strengthen learners' foundational reading skills and accelerate their progress towards grade-level proficiency.

4. Strategic interventions will be implemented to bridge the critical gap between learners' current performance and grade-level expectations. These interventions are predicated on the understanding that unmastered learning standards and competencies create significant barriers to future academic success.

5. Supporting learners in strengthening their foundational knowledge and skills is vital to their success as they move forward in their education journey. Through the following Summer Programs, DepEd aims to reinforce key concepts and skills and empower the learners to enter the next school year with confidence and readiness for new challenges:

a. Summer Programs for Key Stage 1: (1) Bawat Bata Makababasa Program, and (2) Literacy Remediation Program;

b. Summer Programs for Key Stages 2 to 4: (1) Summer Academic Remedial Program, and (2) Regional Remediation Program; and

c. 2025 Learning Camp.

By helping learners stay on track, the long-term goal of achieving educational equity is also advanced.

6. Through a whole-of-community approach, these Summer Programs will cultivate collaborative partnerships with parents, encourage teachers to work together, and engage community partners. Parents will be provided with strategies and resources to reinforce home learning, teachers will collaboratively plan, deliver, and monitor the sessions, and community partners will be enjoined to offer additional support, all working together to accelerate learners' progress toward grade-level proficiency and promote a sustainable culture of literacy.
