LAOAOG CITY—The Ilocos Norte schools supervisors and principals will undergo reshuffling effective August 1., 2018

Ilocos Norte schools division superintendent Vilma Eda said reshuffling is “good as it provides school heads the opportunity to share their home-grown expertise to other schools”.

Under a Department order, it states that school heads in the province who have served five years in their assigned school must move out to also serve in other schools.

“When you go out of your comfort zone, the more that you will be trained and developed other competencies for the betterment of schools,” said Mrs. Eda in a press conference held at the division office.

According to Ms. Eda, reshuffling is also a way of sharing management skills and applying good practices when one is exposed to different areas. Among these include improvement the physical conditions of the school and development of better relationships with the community.

While there are some who refuse to leave their schools after introducing so many improvements which are dear to them, Ms. Eda reiterated it is the department’s mandate to promote efficient and effective services and one way of doing so is to implement reshuffling.
