SOURCE: DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2019
The school budget is one of the most powerful tools to promote and strengthen the school based management and accountability. This is why apart from curricular reforms and capacity building programs, the Department of Education (DepEd) continues to make more resources available to schools to support them in enabling students to perform better. With the adoption of the new school MOOE formula starting 2013, and the passage of Republic Act No. 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 expanding the basic education system from a 10-year to 13-year program with the addition of one year of Kindergarten and two years of Senior High School (SHS), the DepEd moves closer to rationalizing the programming of school budgets. Previously, the school MOOE budget was computed solely based on enrollment given a per capita cost. With the new formula, other factors affecting school operations are considered, such as the number of teachers and classrooms managed by the school, the number of graduating or completing students, and a fixed amount corresponding to basic needs of a school. In addition to this, starting 2016, financial assistance previously released separately for special programs or activities are now incorporated in the budget for the operations of schools. The funds that will no longer be downloaded from the Central Office and are now part of the regular school MOOE budget include: a) financial assistance to support special curricular programs in Science (Special Science Elementary Schools, Regional Science High Schools, Science, Technology and Engineering Program in High Schools), Sports (High Schools with Special Programs in Sports), Arts (High Schools with Special Programs in Arts) and Special Education; b) DepEd Internet Connectivity Program; c) Gulayan sa Paaralan; and d) School Based Management Grants. The Department continues to develop and institute policies and reforms that would deepen the decentralization of education management.
