SAN
FERNANDO CITY, La Union – Education officials ordered school administrators
against inviting candidates as speakers in graduation ceremonies.
“We encourage school principals and directors
to invite speakers who are alumni of their schools and can inspire and motivate
the graduates... Refrain from inviting candidates who may use the event to
campaign,” said Darius Nieto, project development officer of the Department of
Education (DepEd) in the Ilocos region.
DepEd Secretary Armin Luistro said graduation
rites should be simple but meaningful.
In Department Order 7, DepEd said graduation
ceremonies should focus on this year’s theme ”Kabataang Mula K to 12,
Tagapagdala ng Kaunlaran sa Bansang Pilipinas.”
“DepEd reiterates a no collection policy of
graduation fees or contribution,” Nieto added.
A department order issued on Feb. 15, states
that instead of the usual graduation for high school students, Grade 10
students shall attend a moving up completion ceremony.
There shall be a graduation ceremony for
Grade 12 students, it added.
