As of July 23, DepEd data on NLC showed that there are 480,488 Grade 7 enrollees for NLC. There are also 458,853 Grade 8 learners who enrolled for NLC according to DepEd. DepEd, however, noted that these are “indicative figures” based on the number of registrants. The number of enrollees and actual participants, DepEd said, may “increase further” in the coming days. DepEd said that the actual number of participants in NLC, schools, teachers, and learners, is being gathered and might be finalized by the end of the week. Based on the School Year (SY) 2022-2023, DepEd said that there are 1,689,877 Grade 7 enrollees and 1,779,403 Grade 8 enrollees. The current number of NLC participants in Grade 7, DepEd noted, is 28.43 percent of actual Grade 7 enrollment for SY 2022-2023. For Grade 8, DepEd noted that the current number of NLC participants is 25.79 percent of the actual Grade 8 enrollment for SY 2022-2023. DepEd is conducting the NLC from July 24 to Aug. 25 to enhance learning outcomes and to provide more support for teachers. The NLC is a sub-program under the National Learning Recovery Program (NLRP) which aims to address learning loss. Scheduled to run for three to five weeks, DepEd said that the NLC features a “two-fold purpose” which is to improve learning outcomes and to support teachers so they can teach better. DepEd stressed that the NLC is a “voluntary program” for both teachers and learners. For this year, the NLC covers Grades 7 and 8 learners focusing on English, Science, and Mathematics. The participants of NLC, DepEd said, would depend on the specific needs of the learners. DepEd said the aims to create a “camp-like atmosphere” by integrating fun and engaging activities to foster learner interests, socio-emotional skills, personal growth, and character development. With this, students may enroll in these three Camps: Enhancement Camp, Consolidation Camp, or Intervention Camp. For other grade levels, DepEd said schools may also conduct other activities such as the Reading and Mathematics Program for Grades 1 to 3 and enrichment activities in other grade levels.
