How School Athletes Participating in Athletic Meets Be Rated?
Could these teachers/school officials be held responsible for violating some rules? How should we address this issue?
There are some concerns about teachers and school officials that are threatening their representative athletes by indiscriminately deducting or refusing to give them grades/ratings while at the same time allowing them to participate in sports competitions.
๐๐๐ช๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐ผ๐๐ฉ ๐ค๐ 1982 ๐๐ช๐ก๐ ๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ 3 (๐) mandated that teachers shall:
"โฆrefrain from making deductions in the scholastic rating of pupils or students, for any act that is clearly not a manifestation of poor scholarshipโ.
On the same basis, special assistance should be given to learner-athletes who are representing their schools during sports competitions by giving them advanced lessons, special tests, self-learning modules, and the like to help them catch up with their lessons.
As teachers, they must always have a part in the realization of DepEdโs objective to encourage potential pupils/student-athletes. This is in line with the national goal of the government as provided for under ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ 19, ๐ผ๐ง๐ฉ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ 1987 ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐ค๐ฃ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ which states:.." the state shall promote physical education and encourage sports programs, league competitions, and amateur sports, including training for international competitions, to foster self-discipline, teamwork and excellence for the development of a healthy and alert citizenry.
