Philippine Educational Placement Test (PEPT)

November 2011 - Philippine Educational Placement Test (PEPT)

Philippine Educational Placement Test (PEPT) was scheduled to be held this November 20, 2011 for Luzon area and on November 27, 2011 for both Visayas and Mindanao sections, according to Department of Education, DepEd, through the Nationa Education Testing and Research Center.

Department of Education Secretary Armin Luistro said that PEPT aims to retrieve out-of-school youth and place them in a formal school system if they wanted to.

“Through PEPT, we would also like to validate and accredit knowledge and skills in academic areas gained through informal and non-formal means. In the end, PEPT will pave the way for their re-entry into formal schooling, job promotion, job training, and employment,” Armin Luistro said on the media.

Here are the qualifications to be accredited on the PEPT program.

1.) Youth who are drop-outs from elementary or secondary level for at least one year.
2.) For those youth that never had attended school but can read and write.
3.) FOr those who are currently working but want to continue schooling.
4.) Applicants must be one year overage from their supposedly grade/year level on the Philippine schooling system.
5.) A Filipino citizen.

For those who would meet the pre-requisites above, please tell your friends (relatives, etc.) to bring on the following

1.) A birth certificate issued by the NSO or Local Civil Registrar, duly authenticated (original and 2 photo-copies);
2.) 2 recent ID pictures (size 1 x 1);
3.) School record (if any): An original, and 2 photocopies of Form 137 (Transcript of Records with school seal and signature of principal/registrar) or Form 138 (Report Card with school seal and signature of principal/registrar) for elementary level; and Form 137 for secondary.
