Division Education Development Plan
The DepEd Division of Ozamiz City maintains a comprehensive Education Development Plan that guides the strategic direction of basic education across the division. This plan aligns with national DepEd goals while addressing the unique needs of schools and learners within Ozamiz City.
The development plan outlines key priorities for improving access to quality education, strengthening teacher competencies, enhancing learning environments, and promoting inclusive and equitable educational opportunities for all learners in the division.
The DepEd Division of Ozamiz City is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of every learner, teacher, and school staff member across all public and private schools in the city. Disaster Risk Reduction and Management initiatives are woven into the daily operations of the division, with schools regularly conducting preparedness drills, hazard assessments, and climate adaptation planning. These efforts are guided by national protocols while being tailored to the specific geographical realities of Ozamiz, including its coastal areas and inland communities. Through continuous coordination among school heads, teachers, and local government units, the division strengthens its capacity to respond effectively to typhoons, earthquakes, and other emergencies that may disrupt learning.
Central to the division's DRRM framework is the integration of disaster preparedness into the curriculum and school culture. Learners are taught age-appropriate safety measures, first aid basics, and emergency response procedures that empower them to act confidently during crises. Teachers receive ongoing training and updates on the latest protocols, ensuring that classrooms remain safe spaces even in times of disruption. Schools maintain updated contingency plans, evacuation maps, and communication systems to facilitate quick coordination with families and community responders. By embedding resilience into everyday school life, the division builds a culture where preparedness becomes second nature rather than an afterthought.
Beyond immediate emergency response, the division emphasizes recovery and continuity of learning following any disruption. Post-disaster assessments help schools identify damaged facilities, lost instructional materials, and learners who may need additional support to return to their studies. The division works closely with parents, barangay officials, and partner organizations to restore normal operations as quickly as possible while addressing the psychosocial needs of affected students and staff. This holistic approach ensures that the education system in Ozamiz City remains resilient and adaptive, safeguarding the right of every child to continue learning regardless of the challenges that may arise.
