PN, DepEd sign cooperation deal on naval application pool

From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 8): PN, DepEd sign cooperation deal on naval application pool

In a bid to further strengthen its ranks, the Philippine Navy (PN) and Department of Education (DepEd) signed a memorandum of cooperation which seeks to create a pool of talented high school graduates interested in pursuing a career in the naval services.

The memorandum was signed by PN flag-officer-in-charge Vice Admiral Jose Luis Alano and DepEd Secretary Armin A. Luistro.

In the agreement, the DepEd agreed that the PN through Philippine Fleet and Naval Sea Systems Command (NSSC) shall assist in the instruction of career pathways subjects of senior high school students on Sangley Point National High School (SPNHS) situated inside Naval Base Heracleo Alano in Cavite City.

SPNHS shall implement the modeling program of DepEd which is the Senior High School (Grades 11 and 12) dubbed as “Security and Peacekeeping Academy” of the K to 12 Curriculum with the Philippine Fleet and NSSC as a service provider.

The DepEd and PN recognize the advantage of the new curriculum towards a quality and accessible education for all and the fulfillment of the mission and goals of each institution.

“By coming up with this memorandum of cooperation, we see the possibility for a source of recruitment for our enlisted personnel, especially one that is already molded having the necessary component of leadership and technical skills required by the PN. This becomes valuable to the Philippine Navy as technical skill is a vital component of armed service like ours,” Alano said.

“We are very proud and honored to be the first defense organization to have a partnership with the DepEd and we look forward to continue and further this engagement with them," the PN chief concluded.
