REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Related Literature

The work Immersion program will help students to develop their skills and

prepare them to make decision on employment and to make them ready in the real world.

DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones said the work immersion is a key feature in

the Senior High School curriculum. That can conducted in different ways depending on

the purposes and needs of the learns. These guidelines where formulated based on rich

experiences of modeling schools, tech-voc schools, partnership focal persons, industry

partners and youth development advocates. These guidelines can provide process

support to field of the DepEd to encourage relationships and strengthening partnerships

so that learners will have access to suitable work immersion venues and other related

resources.

The DepEd order No. 30 series of 2017 released the guidelines specify that the

said work immersion will enable student to become familiar with the work place behavior

and apply their competences in areas of specialization.

The Department of Education (DepEd) Cebu City Division in partnership with

the Bayanihang Pampaaralan (BP) hosted an Academe-Industry Consultative Conference

on Senior High School (SHS) Work Immersion, bringing together educational institutions

and various industries to come to share agreement on how the work immersion should

be conducted.

According to Silvestre Bello, The TWG will coordinate with the Department of

Education (DepEd) and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) in

developing a policy that ensures skill acquisition without compromising the protection and

safety of SHS students in implementing the K to 12 Work Immersion Program, DOLE,

DepEd and TESDA will jointly promulgate the policy, subject to consultation with relevant

stakeholders. (2016) and Dr. Danilo Gudelosao, assistant superintendent of DepEd Cebu

City School Division, (2017) said that the work immersion partner institution Supervisor

should be the one to supervise the students during the said immersion.

Based on Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Labor Advisory No. 9

students are allowed to immerse themselves in work place between 8:00 am until 5:00

pm every day for a minimum of 80 hours or a maximum of 240 hours per term.

Dole has implemented Department Order No. 149 which forbids all senior high

student engaging in this types of work immersions: mining, construction, transportation,

waste management, water supply, forestry and logging, security and investigation,

manufacturing ( e.g. tobacco, alcohol beverages), farm-related work, sales and services

and industry, integrated-science-related work, including as personal and protective

workers. In relation to Republic Act ( R.A.) 9231 or the Special Protection of Children

Against Child Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act.

The Department of Social Welfare and development (DSWD) has emphasize the

need for each institution to have their own child protection policy that demonstrate a

commitment to safeguard children from harm. Ms. Maricel Madamba a social welfare

officer of DSWD state that without the organizations Child Protection Policy, it would be

really hard to conduct a check-and- balance as to whether there are abuses or not.

According to the Executive Department of Philippine Business for Social

Progress (PBSP) Dr. Reynaldo Laguna pointed out the need for the academe and the

industry to have a sit- down to understand the standards required by the industry and

also for the teachers to immerse themselves in the students given workplace to have a

better understanding on working conditions and environment.
