OPEN HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM (OHSP): “ Reaching the Unschooled Wherever and Whenever.”

Submitted by Ma. Victoria M.... on Sat, 02/08/2014 - 09:42

About 6 million Filipino children of school going age drop out of school altogether. This is the data that
has emerged from a study carried out by the Department of Education in Manila. 30% of the 91 million
inhabitants of the country are under 18: almost 25% of them never finish their studies. (AsiaNews)

Such enormous rate had prompted the government specifically the Department of Education to launch
programs that would solution the problem. Blaming poverty as the primary cause of such DepEd, then,
focus on the possibility of reaching those unschooled and under schooled youth in their respective
localities on the basis that would be convenient for them.
What is Open High School Program?

OHSP is an acronym for Open High School Program. It is an alternative mode of formal secondary
education program run by the Bureau of Secondary Education (BSE) of the Department of Education
(DepED) of the Republic of the Philippines. The program provides an opportunity for elementary school
graduates, high school drop-outs and successful examinees of the Philippine Education Placement Test
(PEPT) to complete secondary education in a purely distance learning mode. The program provides
printed self-learning modules for students to use for their lessons and classroom activities.

Who are qualified to enroll in OHSP?

Students who wishes to avail of OHSP must meet the following qualifications:

Filipino citizen

Independent learner

Have completed the pre-requisite grade or year level

Must pass the Independence Learning Readiness Test (ILRT) and the Informal Reading Inventory (IRI)

When can I avail of OHSP?

OHSP is available anytime. It is not dependent on the calendar of the regular school year. Student may
start at their own time and at their own pacing, provided they complete their entire high education
within a maximum period of six (6) years.

Where is OHSP offered?

Why offer OHSP?

OHSP is intended for students who would otherwise be unable to pursue formal secondary education
due the rigid requirement of regular class schedules. It is an alternative to attending regular classes but
is not designed to be beneficial to all students. Most students may still learn best by attending the
regular formal secondary education.
