Bridging Gaps. Building Futures.

Uniting Educators to Create a Safer, More Inclusive Future for Every Learner

BEQA
(Basic Education Quality Access)

BEQA2025 — the 2nd National Online Conference-Workshop on Basic Education Quality, Access, and Child Protection — is a nationwide training and capacity-building initiative that empowers school leaders, system administrators, and education advocates to champion quality, inclusive, and child-centered learning environments across the Philippines.

This 3-day conference, serves as a strategic professional development platform for school heads, policymakers and their guidance teams, registrars, and LIS-BEIS system administrators. Participants will receive essential training on how to effectively utilize the Learner Information System (LIS) and Basic Education Information System (BEIS) — equipping them to harness data for crafting project proposals, conducting action research, and implementing targeted interventions that support both learning and child protection outcomes.

BEQA2025 is led by PAVESOC, Inc., and initiated by Coronado’s School of Quezon City, Inc., in collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare and Development – NCR, the National PTA (NPTA), the LIS-BEIS System Administrators and Registrars Association, ACT NCR Union, and the National Capital Region Planning Officers Association.

By uniting key stakeholders across public and private education sectors, BEQA2025 reinforces the vital link between equitable access to quality education and the implementation of comprehensive child protection policies. It is committed to building a culture of evidence-based decision-making, innovation, accountability, and sustainability in Philippine basic education.

Campaign Theme:

“Nurturing Optimism, Fostering Excellence”
This theme reflects the heart of BEQA2025: building hopeful, resilient, and high-performing school communities that prioritize quality access, child protection, and data-driven progress.

Conference Title:

Bridging Gaps, Building Futures: Advancing Quality Access, and Child Protection in Basic Education.

This year’s theme underscores the urgent need to close educational disparities while safeguarding the well-being of every learner. It calls on educators, leaders, and advocates to work collaboratively in creating inclusive, high-quality learning environments where access to education and child protection are not privileges—but guarantees. Together, we build futures by bridging the gaps today.

Rationale:

In line with the Department of Education’s ongoing reforms to improve access, equity, and quality in basic education, there is a pressing need to strengthen the technical capacity of school heads, system administrators, and registrars in utilizing education data systems such as the Learner Information System (LIS) and the Basic Education Information System (BEIS). These systems play a pivotal role in tracking learner profiles, improving school management, and informing evidence-based planning and decision-making.

This initiative is part of the continuing technical assistance and capacity-building efforts of the LIS-BEIS System Administrators and Registrars Association, in close support of the Planning Unit of the School Governance and Operations Division (SGOD) in every Schools Division Office across the country. It specifically responds to the need for effective and consistent implementation of the newly issued DepEd Order Nos. 15 and 17, s. 2025, along with other access-related DepEd policies.

Furthermore, the project acknowledges that child protection and inclusive education must go hand-in-hand with digital and administrative reforms. With the evolving role of school-based guidance officers and child protection advocates, it becomes imperative to integrate child protection strategies into data management practices, ensuring that no learner is left behind.

Through this conference-workshop, schools will be equipped not only to meet compliance requirements but also to leverage LIS-BEIS data to design relevant interventions, track performance indicators, and develop institutional policies that uphold the right of every Filipino child to safe, quality, and accessible education.

Objective:

This national conference-workshop seeks to empower school communities in ensuring equitable access to quality basic education and promoting a safe, inclusive learning environment for all. Specifically, BEQA2025 aims to accomplish the following objectives:

To deepen participants’ understanding of the key provisions of DepEd Order Nos. 15 and 17, s. 2025, especially as they relate to enrollment processes, access to basic education, and integration within the LIS-BEIS systems;

To strengthen the role of school-based Guidance Officers and Child Protection Advocates in leading the implementation of child protection policies and support mechanisms across learning institutions, including early intervention, reporting, and referral systems;

To demonstrate how LIS-BEIS data can be effectively utilized in the formulation of institutional policies, school operational manuals, education programs, and child-centered projects that promote access, equity, and protection;

To capacitate school heads, registrars, and system administrators in developing data-driven project proposals, action research, and intervention programs aimed at improving student retention, re-engagement, and holistic development;

To foster collaboration between education leaders and child protection stakeholders, ensuring that every school community becomes proactive in creating a protective and responsive environment for all learners, especially the vulnerable and at-risk.

Logo Interpretation

The BEQAPH logo features two golden torches crossing over an open book, symbolizing:

  1. Knowledge and Enlightenment – The torches represent the light of education that dispels ignorance and empowers learners and communities.
  2. Access and Protection – The open book signifies accessible learning, while the crossed torches reflect the dual mission of ensuring quality education and upholding the rights and safety of every child.
  3. Guidance and Leadership – The imagery aligns with the role of school leaders, system administrators, and guidance advocates in lighting the way toward inclusive, safe, and data-informed school environments.Performance.
