QuestionsQuestions (DEPED ORDER NO. 70, S. 2003)
It is designed to ensure that students’ grades reflect their true level of mastery of competencies, so the teaching-learning effectiveness can be properly assessed by students, parents, teachers, and administrators.
They must be converted into percentage grades without applying any base percentage—perfect scores equal 100% and zero scores equal 0%.
No. The order explicitly disclaims such a table and instructs teachers to stop using it because it was never officially sanctioned by DepEd.
The passing grade is 75%.
So that the grade accurately corresponds to mastery of competencies in the subject area, ensuring fairness and consistency in assessment.
Periodical tests shall have a uniform weight between 25% and 40% in all subject areas.
The rest of the rating must be distributed among the other components used to rate each subject area.
Any grade lower than 65% shall be reflected as 65% on the individual report card.
No. The actual grade lower than 65% must be retained in the class record and used for aggregating group performance for all purposes.
They should be structured to assess achievement related to competencies so learners are motivated to learn competencies not yet mastered.
Yes. The rating system should be discussed during the Educators Congress in Baguio City on October 7–9, 2003.
It revokes or amends all previous orders and issuances, including their provisions, that are inconsistent with the order.
It shall be effective immediately.
The report card must show 65%, but the actual grade below 65% must remain in the class record and be used for aggregation.
It means the table lacks official approval and must not be followed; teachers are required to stop using it to comply with the officially prescribed method.
By requiring a transmutation method that aligns with true mastery (no base percentage), setting a uniform weight for periodical tests, and specifying passing grade and reporting/record rules.
