PEST and SWOT Analysis of the Diocese of Imus Catholic Educational

System’s Flexible Learning Experience (FLEx) Operations

We, the Strive for Excellence Academy is a school that manifest the promotion of

holistic learning of every child. Holistically nurturing and educating every student in all respects:

intellectually, socially, ethically, spiritually and emotionally. We offer perfectly functioning and

quality facilities that enables every student to make the most out of its purpose. We also have our

friendly staffs and needless to say, our stable and fully competent teachers that assure the quality

learning of our students. To achieve the holistic development of every child, we anchored the

policies of this student handbook to the standard of Diocese of Imus for the highest standards of

Catholic Educational Learning. The student’s enrollment in a Diocesan School of Imus is

considered as his/her conformity and willingness and that of his/her parents to abide by all the

rules and regulations of the Diocese of Imus Catholic Educational System (DICES) end of the

school. DICES and the school cannot keep students who by his/her conduct that he/she has no

intention of abiding by any or all of the school’s regulations. (DICES Student Handbook, 2018)

With DICES Flexible Learning Experience, we are finally ready to bring learning into

homes. We hope that each student will learn with their hearts and minds as they fulfil their

mission of become responsible, independent and competent life-long learners.

Here are the following environmental analyses of the DICES’ FLEx operations based on

my own view and perspective:

 STRENGTHS
 Distance learning by students through
modular or online modality
 Readiness of the system to operate as
early as August, year of 2020
 Competitive and morally upright staffs
inside the organization (including the
subject coordinators and teachers)
 Several webinars (online seminar and
discussion) was conducted to address
the needs of all the endeavors of
operations itself
OPPORTUNITIES
 The operations can attract more
stakeholders (parents and students) to
enroll in particular diocesan school
POLITICAL
 Protocols imposed by the
national/local government regarding
the operatons of every schools in this
time of pandemic
SOCIAL
 The need and the right of the students
to continue persuing his/her studies
despite of the pandemic
WEAKNESSES
 Not all students have access to internet
to research some information about
their activity or even attend online
consultation with their teachers
 First time for the educational system
to conduct this distance learning
THREATS
 Health issues brought by COVID-19
pandemic
ECONOMIC
 Limited finances of each household
because of possible unemployment
due to pandemic to sustain the
enrolment of their students (FLEx
opeations offer lesser amount of
tuition fees)
TECHNOLOGICAL
 Latest trends about the usage of
different online learning system as
well as online conferencing platform
for the purpose of conducting classes
