Men often become what they
believe themselves to be.
If I believe I cannot do
something, it makes me
incapable of doing it.
But when I believe I can, then I
acquire the ability to do it
even if I didn't have it in the
beginning.
 MEA as venue for discussing alternatives

MEA allows us to make strategic

decisions.
OPTION 1

Barriers preventing learners from coming

and staying in school are routinely
discussed & analyzed. Alternatives are
discussed & prioritized. Ensure strategic
response to issues affecting children's
participation. ISSUE OPTION 2

Bottlenecks experienced by front-liners in

delivering basic education services are
regularly examined. The MEA process
allows DepED to provide a holistic
solution to improving strategies and OPTION 3
programs instead of a “band aid” or “stop
gap” measures.
