Catch-Up Fridays is essential to respond to low proficiency levels in reading and the urgent need to intensify Values, Health, and Peace Education.

4. What is the purpose of Catch-Up Fridays? Catch-Up Fridays is implemented to help address learning gaps and reinforce foundational, social, and relevant skills necessary to successfully implement the basic education curriculum. It aligns with the National Learning Recovery Program and focuses on the National Reading Program, Values, Health, and Peace Education.

5. When will Catch-Up Fridays be implemented? All Fridays in January shall be devoted to DEAR. During the kick-off on January 12, 2024, learners shall be engaged in reading through the DEAR. On January 19 and 26, while learners will be engaged in reading through DEAR, the teachers not assigned as reading facilitators will attend the training on the implementation of Catch-up Fridays. For January 26 which falls during the Mid-year break, SDOs shall continue orienting teachers on Catch-up Fridays. Learners shall continue DEAR at home.

6. How will the time allotment for each learning area be used? The time allotment for each learning area on a Friday shall be used to enhance learners’ knowledge and skills in and appreciation of reading, values, health, and peace education.

7. How will Catch-Up Fridays be structured? All Fridays will be designated as Catch-Up Fridays, with the first half of the day on the National Reading Program and the second half on Values, Health, and Peace Education. The Homeroom Guidance Program will also be included. This will be observed on February 02, 2024.

8. Who will facilitate Catch-Up Fridays? Catch-Up Fridays will be facilitated by the same teacher/s whose classes are scheduled on Fridays, as outlined in the class programs. This is where integrative teaching will come in. The assigned teacher will have to integrate the themes/subthemes for Values, Health, or Peace Education into their assigned learning area. This approach fosters a cohesive and interconnected learning experience, ensuring that important themes are woven into the different subject matters.
