Several Grades 3 to 10 public school students of Makati City were commended by the city government for their achievement in topping the regional Test of Functional Academic Skills (TOFAS) administered by the DepEd last Feb. 20-24, 2023.
TOFAS is a free global online testing system designed to reveal learners’ fundamental and skill strengths and weaknesses, which can help educators in identifying gaps and planning the needed interventions.
“Congratulations to our Proud Makatizen students for this latest achievement! Once again, you have proven that the city is on track in promoting academic excellence through substantial investments in programs aimed to continually raise the quality of our public education system,” Binay said. They were then tested on computational skills, which included decimals, fractions, integers, equations, polynomials, systems, and quadratic equations.
The mayor said planned interventions include innovations in instructional practices of Math teachers aimed to get through students’ aversion to numbers and gain their interest in the subject, developing intensive learning activities and modern learning materials, and creating a localized and standardized numeracy assessment tool.
