DEPED FREE WORKSHEET & MODULES FOR DOWNLOAD

DEPED WARNS ILLEGAL SALE OF FREE LEARNING MATERIALS

The Department of Education (DepEd) issued a stern warning to those illegally selling its modules and learning materials online.

“These people are using free learning materials (LMs) from DepEd, and are shamelessly selling it online,” said Undersecretary Alain Pascua.

Reports from DepEd’s Curriculum and Instruction Strand, particularly its Bureau of Curriculum Development (BCD) and Bureau of Learning Delivery (BLD), show online sellers posting DepEd Learning Materials on popular online selling platforms offering various printed materials on different subject areas. Earlier reports also claim that DepEd’s Most Essential Learning Competencies or MELCs are being sold through YouTube subscriptions.

Pascua explained that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, DepEd has had to resort to strengthening its various learning delivery modes in lieu of traditional face-to-face learning. One major development was the launch of DepEd Commons (commons.deped.gov.ph), DepEd’s online learning resource portal where teachers and learners can access training demos, exercises, quizzes, and e-books.

“We are working non-stop – to create, check, and curate all our content to make it more accessible to everyone, only for these people to use it for their own gain. We are warning these individuals that DepEd will prosecute you,” Pascua added.

DepEd also warned teachers and the public to be wary of educational materials being peddled for sale as “authorized” or “official” DepEd MELCs, Workbooks or Worksheets, and DepEd Commons materials. As of this time, all materials are still being quality assured (QA) by the Curriculum and Instruction strand, particularly the Bureau of Learning Resources (BLR).

“All DepEd authorized and quality-assured materials are free, and they will be uploaded once finalized at the DepEd Commons where access and downloading will also be free. If they are being sold at this time, most probably these are still drafts,” Pascua said.

“We have dispatched our Field Coordinators to seek out illegal activities such as this, and we are in talks with our Legal Department for any legal action we can take on these erring groups and individuals” Pascua explained.
