Reviewer Handbook on The National Qualification for School Heads (NQESH) 3rd Edition

by Luisito S. San Valentin Ed. D

President Benigno S. Aquino III is determined to institute reforms in our government including the education sector. To give impetus to his ten-point agenda in Education, it is therefore necessary to have a rigid system of selecting education leaders who could effectively and efficiently manage and run our public school.

Any project or program in education implemented nationwide will not be successful without direct participation and leadership from the school principals.

These school heads are similar to the commissioned officers in the military who lead the war in actual battlefields or frontlines. Hence, the Department of Education, (DepEd) through the National Educators Academy of the Philippines (NEAP) is tasked and mandated to prepare, select and train school principals

Since 2008, when the DepEd started to administer the National Qualifying Examination for School Heads (NQESH) through the NEAP, it has shown that majority of those who took the test failed. In the last two years of the NQESH, only less than (10) percent passed.

It is therefore the main motive of the writers of this reviewer handbook to help candidates pass the said examination. This third edition includes the most important and recent programs of the DepEd: the K+12 BEC, Republic Act No.10157, Mother Tongue Based-Multi- Lingual Education (MTB-MLE), ACCESS: (A Child and Community–Centered Education System), strengthening the Practice of SBM, and DepEd Order No.40 s.2012 (DepEd Child Protection Policy).

The Editor wishes therefore to give the users of this review material the opportunity to become Principals – the Pillars of Philippine Education.
