DepEd accredited homeschool curriculum Philippines: Paano nga ba sisimulan at magkano ang gagastusin ng homeschooling sa Pilipinas?
DepEd accredited homeschool curriculum Philippines
Bagamat bago sa pandinig ng marami sa atin ang homeschooling ay matagal ng ginagawa dito sa Pilipinas. Partikular na sa mga celebrities o anak ng mayayamang pamilya na iniingatan ang kanilang security at privacy. Pero marami rin sa mga magulang na Pilipino ang pinipili ito dahil sa mas kampante sila sa set-up na ito. At mas matutukan nila ang pag-aaral ng kanilang mga anak.
Sa ngayon, sa gitna ng COVID-19 pandemic ay maugong na usap-usapan ang homeschooling. Dahil sa ganitong paraan ay mapapatuloy ang pag-aaral ng mga estudyante ng hindi na kailangang pumasok pa sa paaralan. Pero ano nga ba ang dapat malaman ng mga magulang sa homeschool curriculum ng Pilipinas? At paano ito sisimulan at ano ang mga dapat nilang paghandaan?
Homeschooling sa Pilipinas

Ang batas ng homeschooling sa Pilipinas ay naayon sa Article XIV, Section 2 ng Philippine Constitution. Nakasaad sa batas na ito na ang estado ay dapat magkaroon at mapanatili ang sistema na kung saan maibibigay ang edukasyon sa bawat Pilipino ng libre mula elementarya hanggang sa high school level. Nang hindi nito nililimitahan ang natural na karapatan ng mga magulang sa pagtuturo at pagpapalaki sa kanilang anak.
Base pa rin sa nasabing batas ay ini-encourage ang mga non-formal, informal at indigenous learning system. Pati na ang self-learning, independent at out-of-school study programs partikular na kung ito ay kinakailangan o hiningi ng kondisyon ng isang komunidad. Ngunit magkaganoon man, ay kinikilala parin ng estado ang mahalagang papel ng mga pampubliko at pribadong paaralan na nasa ilalim ng superbisyon at regulasyon ng DepEd.
Ayon naman sa Department of Education (DepEd) Memo no. 216 s. 1997 na tinatawag ring “Home Education Program”, sa oras na ang isang bata ay sumailalim sa homeschooling, siya parin ay maaring mag-transfer sa conventional school. Ngunit siya ay dapat ma-accredit muna ng DepEd o Department of Education.
Ngunit paano isinasagawa ang DepEd accreditation o paano makakakuha ng diploma ang isang bata na naghohome-school?
2 uri ng homeschooling sa Pilipinas
Homeschool providers
Dito sa Pilipinas ay may 2 paraan ng homeschooling. Una ay sa pamamagitan ng mga homeschool providers. Ito ay ang mga institusyon na accredited ng DepEd na makakatulong sa mga magulang sa pagsasaayos ng accreditation ng kanilang homeschooled na anak. Sila na ang bahalang magsagawa ng mga paper works, formalities at iba pang dapat kailanganin sa homeschooling set-up ng isang bata. Sa kanila rin maaring makakuha ng kopya ng DepEd accredited homeschool curriculum.
Sa ngayon ay marami ng homeschool provider sa bansa na maaring makatulong sa mga nagnanais na simulan ito ng kanilang anak. Pagdating naman sa gagastusin, ayon nga sa mga magulang na nakasubok na nito ay mas mababa ang magagastos rito kumpara sa kung pag-aaralin sa private school ang isang bata. Dahil ang homeschool annual fee ng isang homeschool na bata ay hindi bababa sa P15,000 para sa kinder. At aabot naman ng hanggang P60,000 para sa mga highschool students.
Naka-depende ang babayarang homeschool fee sa pipiliing homeschool provider para sa iyong anak. Ngunit karamihan sa mga ito ay nagbibigay ng hanggang sa 50% discount kung higit sa isang bata sa inyong pamilya ang mag-aavail ng serbisyo nila.

Mayroon ring opsyon na kung saan ang mga magulang ay hindi na kailangan pang i-enroll sa isang homeschool provider ang kanilang anak. At kanila itong tuturuan base sa sa preferred nilang resources at curriculum. Bagamat mainam kung ibabase nila ito sa DepEd accredited homeschool curriculum. Dahil sa oras na kailangan na nilang pumasok sa tradisyonal na eskwelahan o ma-credit ang kanilang napag-aralan ay kailangan nilang sumailaim sa mga DepEd exams. Tulad ng Philippine Educational Placement Test (PEPT) o Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) Exam na nasa ilalim ng Alternative Learning System.
Sa homeschooling set-up na ito ay nakadepende ang magagastos sa mga requirements o materials na gagamitin sa pagtuturo sa isang bata.
Mga dapat isaalang-aalang sa pagdedesisyon kung i-hohomeschool ang isang bata
Pagdating sa paghohomeschool ng isang bata ay may mga bagay na dapat munang isaalang-alang ang mga magulang. Ito ay ang mga sumusunod:
1. Bakit kailangang i-homeschool ang iyong anak?
Mahalagang masagot at matimbang mo ang mga dahilan sa pagpili ng set-up na ito sa pag-aaral ng iyong anak. Dahil ito ang magsisilbing gabay mo upang mag-focus at ma-achieve mo ang pinapangarap mong maayos na edukasyon para sa kaniya.
2. Ano ba ang goal mo sa edukasyon ng iyong anak?
Nais mo bang magkaroon siya ng maraming oras sa pag-aaral habang nag-ispend ng quality time sa inyong pamilya na kaniyang magagawa sa homeschooling? O mas gusto mong magkaroon siya ng mas maraming oras sa pakikisalimuha sa iba habang natuto sa tradisyonal na paaralan?
Pagdating sa pagdedesisyon dito ay mabuting tanungin rin ang nais o gusto ng iyong anak.
3. Ano-ano ba ang disadvantages o advantages ng homeschooling sayo at sa iyong anak?
Mas makakatipid ba kayo sa set-up na ito? At sa tingin mo ba ito ang mas epektibong paraan upang matuto ang iyong anak?
Para sa dagdag na kaalaman na iyong kinakailangan ay mainam na magsagawa ng research sa mga good at bad effects ng homeschooling sa isang bata.
4. Sino ang maari mong lapitan para kunan ng impormasyon o suporta pagdating sa pag-hohomeschool ng isang bata?

Para matagumpay na maisagawa ang homeschooling ay kinakailangan mo ng mga tao na maari mong hingan ng impormasyon o payo tungkol dito. Sa ngayon ay may mga grupo at events na maaring daluhan at lapitan upang magkaroon ng dagdag kaalaman sa homeschooling. Sila ay makakatulong sayo sa pagdedesisyon kung ito ba ang tamang set-up ng pag-aaral na makakabuti o angkop sa iyong anak. At sa kung paano mo ito sisimulan at mapapanindigan sa pagdaan ng panahon.
5. May sapat ka bang materials at resources upang matagumpay na maisagawa ang homeschooling?
Upang epektibong matuto ang iyong anak ay kinakailangan mo ring paghandaan ang mga materials at resources na iyong gagamitin sa pagtuturo. Sa ganitong paraan ay matuto siya ng tulad ng ginagawa sa paaralan ngunit sa paraang gusto at tingin mong makakabuti sa kaniya.
6. Handa ka na bang maging guro sa iyong anak?
Higit sa lahat, mahalagang ihanda mo ang iyong sarili sa pagtuturo sa iyong anak. May sapat ka bang pasensya at oras upang gawin ito? Kung sakaling hindi, sino o may naiisip ka bang tao na maari mong ipagkatiwala ang edukasyon ng iyong anak?
Ilan lamang ito sa mga dapat isaalang-alang ng isang magulang bago i-homeschool ang isang bata. Bagamat bago man o hindi tulad ng nakasanayan, ito ang natatanging paraan upang magpatuloy ang pag-aaral ng isang bata sa kabila ng kahit anumang kalamidad o krisis na mangyayari sa labas ng bahay o kaniyang kapaligiran.
Kung buo na ang desisyon na i-homeschool ang iyong anak, narito ang mga accredited homeschool providers sa bansa na maaring makatulong sayo.
