ANNUAL NARRATIVE REPORT

 

I.                    INTRODUCTION

 

The unique identity of the Misamis Oriental General Comprehensive High School made it the biggest high school in the Division of Misamis Oriental. Besides being the oldest (founded 1909), it is strategically located in the heart of the city of Cagayan de Oro, thus its populace is generally coming from the city.

 

The increasing number of enrollees was seen not much of an advantage. The common problems of public education were observed from the shortage of chairs to deteriorating quality of education.

 

However, despite its weaknesses, the school is still trying to support and commit to the DepEd’s thrusts and programs as well as taking every opportunity offered by different stakeholders, and has thus become known as “the home of the champions.”

 

 

II.                 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

 

A Secondary School Principal IV takes the responsibility of managing the whole school, together with the eight department heads comprising the Promotional Staff. The department heads in turn directly supervise the teachers in their respective department.

 

Administrative matters are taken care of by the Administrative Officer IV, who is also responsible for managing the school’s non-teaching staff.

 

Classroom advisers, subject teachers, guidance counselor, librarian and school nurse provide the environment conducive to student learning and nurturing.

III.               HIGHLIGHTS OF ACCOMPLISHMENT.

 

The accomplishment of the school revolves around the following:

 

A.     Status of Basic Education Resources

 

1.      Teachers

Based on the Computation of Teacher requirement for Secondary Schools submitted to D.O., October 2004, the status of teacher needs is as follows:

 

Enrolment ( 2004-2005)        =          7477

Classroom Teachers Required                           =              190

No. of Adv/Club Teachers Required                =                21

Total Teachers Required                                    =              211

               Available Number of Teacher Items   =          199

               Total Teachers Required                                =            12

 

The shortage of teachers were being adjusted by increasing the number of class size, to about 65

 

 

2.      Classrooms

Following shows the existing number of rooms in MOGCHS, SY 2004-2005 is as follows:

 

a.       Instructional Rooms used as

Academic classrooms         =              81

Science laboratories            =              2

H.E. rooms                             =              4

Workshops                           =              5

Computer rooms                   =              1

                        Total instructional rooms           =          93

 

b.      Non-instructional Rooms used as

Library                                   =              1

Clinic                                      =              1

Canteen                                 =              1

Office                                     =              1

Faculty rooms                       =              5

                        Total non-instructional rooms=  9

 

         The 115 sections were not accommodated in standard classrooms. Instead, shops, launches, and even garage were used as classrooms.

 

 

3.      Classroom Furniture

Chair-student ratio is 1:1.3

            With shortage of arm-chairs, some students were made to use benches and plastic chairs. Few parents were able to donate chairs for their children.

 

 

 

4.      Textbooks

As of August 31, 2004, textbook-student ratio of the school is 1:2.

There were enough textbooks in Science, Math, Filipino, Social Studies and English (except in first year) in the later part of the year, but none in Technology and Home Economics specialization, as well as Values Education.

 

5.      Instructional equipment

Instructional Media and equipment present:

a.        computer set                                                 56

b.       computer printer                                           10

c.        TV sets                                                          3

d.       Mimeographing machine                            2

e.        Fax machine                                                  1

f.         OHP                                                                1

g.       Copier                                                            1

h.       Typewriter                                                     5

 

Other instructional materials present and are taken cared by each department include instruments/equipment used in science laboratory (microscopes, weighing scales, human anatomy models, burner, etc.), Home Economics (cooking range, utensils, sewing machine, etc.), TLE shops (welding machine, carpentry tools, etc), and other instructional materials like globe, charts, among others. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B.     Sector Performance Outcomes

 

1.      Expanding Access to Basic Education

a.      Despite the presence of good number of public and private high schools in the city, MOGCHS continued to increase its enrolment, as shown in bar graph below, presented by gender per year level over the last six years:

 

 

The projected or target enrolment for SY 2004-2005 is just to maintain the 2003-04 enrolment, but about 6% increase was noted.

 

 

b. Programs to expand access to basic education:

-         Special Science Curriculum. (D.O. 41, s 2004) MOGCHS is noted for its science classes, which offer a curriculum for those who are inclined in science and mathematics. The class is selective in nature, taking into consideration the Grade Six average grade and result of the qualifying examination administered by the Xavier University Regional  Science Training Center (RSTC).

 

-          Child-Friendly School System. The school adapted the child-friendly school practices. Enrolment is open, based on the capacity of school. The enrollees are coming from different baranggays of Cagayan de Oro. The big population of the school is an indication that it is accessible to the majority of the school-age children.

 

c. Analysis/Effects/implication of the increase in enrolment

            The continued increase in the enrolment of

MOGCHS is due to many factors such as:

-         Affordability, being a public school

-         Strategic location of the campus

-         presence of thousands of alumni parents

 

But increasing the enrolment would mean:

-         increasing the number of sections from 113 in SY 2003-2004 to 115 in SY 2004-2005

-         increasing the class size from 62 to about 65

-         more students to attend to, overload teachers

-         shortage of standard classrooms and instructional  materials

 

Implications…

-         burdened teachers

-         unattended students
