                              Making a difference through Performance Indicators  

The  Performance Appraisal System of Teachers (PAST) and Performance Appraisal System for School Administrators are based by the difference through indicator percentage in performance indicators.  Performance Indicator is necessary in planning for innovations and better output. Each school has to secure indicator for three years as baseline for School Improvement Plan and  Annual Improvement Plan .

          Indicator for graduation rate is to determine the number of graduates (March) over number of enrolment (March) times 100. The result would indicate the effectiveness of teacher and principal in carrying out objectives in our educational system. For the promotion rate , the number of promotes of each grade level over the number of enrolment (March). It is in this indicator where pupils are to be determined who will move to the nest grade level. The R.A. 9155 promotes Education for All. As much as possible there will be no drop out . The teacher has to extend her effort by visiting homes of children who have made absences and follow up so children won’t drop from school. If the pupil is not able to make of what is being expected in a certain grade level he is failed that is to enroll in the same grade level the following school year. For the retention rate it is  total number of enrolment of grades 2-6 over total enrolment of grades 1-5 . The purpose of this is to determine the  degree of pupils in a particular school year who continue to be in school in the succeeding years and to follow up pupils who are not enrolling to assure that all school age children should be in school. The completion rate is the number of grade 6 graduates over the number when they were grade I. This is the percentage in a level of education who complete or finish the level in accordance with the number of years in study. It is a challenge to all educators  in a certain school to reflect on innovative ways to increase the completion rate.
