 PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION
The program is a nine-year
course in Journalism which
aims to strengthen free and
responsible journalism in
Grades 4 to 12 and develop the
learners’ skills required in mass
communication particularly
print and mass media. Its main
focus is primarily on the
mastery of competencies
 rationale
Recognizing the need to build the foundation for developmental journalism as well as to cater to the
special needs of gifted learners among Grade 4 to Grade12 students, the Department of Education
(DepEd) launched the Special Program in Journalism (SPJ) which aims to enhance the students’ skills
and competencies in this discipline. It caters to students who have chosen journalism as their career
pathways in support of the K to 12 Program. The program supports R.A. 7079, otherwise known as the
Campus Journalism Act of 1991, which mandates the Department of Education “to conduct and
implement programs in various aspects of journalism.”
  To ensure effective and efficient operationalization of the Program, all stakeholders should be well-
informed of its components and guidelines, hence, the need to undertake the monitoring and evaluation
of the program that enables supervisors, school heads, department heads, and teachers, to devise
acceptable ways of implementing the SPJ, and to solve issues and concerns that emerge. Moreover, the
Monitoring & Evaluation aims to gather information and feedback, the results of which will be useful
inputs to the refinement of the program. It will also be an opportunity to meet with project partners from
government and non- government organizations and share experiences on journalism related
programs.
