Sample Accomplishment Report for TEA Governance (Scouters Rock)

I. Introduction

Republic Act No. 6713 establishes a code of conduct and ethical standards for public officials and employees. It upholds the time-honored principle that public office is a public trust, and it grants incentives and rewards for exemplary service. Public officials and employees shall enter public service with utmost devotion and dedication to duty. They must act with justness and sincerity and shall not discriminate against anyone, especially the poor and the underprivileged. They shall commit themselves to the democratic way of life and values, maintain the principle of public accountability, and manifest by deeds the supremacy of civilian authority over the military.

As R.A. No. 6713 states, all public servants must possess and obey these standards.

People working in all levels of government, including local, state and federal, are often referred to as public servants. Elected officials such as legislators, judges, mayors, and governors are public servants. Employees in community or non-profit organizations may also be included in this description. Public servant professions include police officers, judges, and firefighters, as well as jobs that keep the government operating, such as accounting, finance, information technology, and logistics management. Just about any job outside of the private sector can be categorized as public service. Public school principals, teachers, secretaries, and coaches are also considered civil servants.

According to Solomon Ortiz, “Teachers are our greatest public servants; they spend their lives educating our young people and shaping our Nation for tomorrow.”

The school head and teachers performed their duties efficiently and honestly, with complete dedication to the people and the nation, most especially to our 21st-century learners and the people of the entire community.

II. Highlights of Accomplishments

Joining hands, the principal and the teachers, as public servants, gave their best for good and fair service, commitment, and performance, to develop productive youth who can meet the demands of competition in the near future, become good citizens of the country, and succeed in their chosen careers.

During school days, the teachers made sure that all learners received the best learning they could give. They showed fairness in dealing with learners, encouraged them to participate in class discussions and to use higher thinking skills in asking questions, and integrated the values of fairness, justice, love, sincerity, devotion, and commitment into teaching and learning.

As public servants, they also gave importance to struggling and slow readers. They spent extra time teaching them to read and comprehend. They also coached and trained learners for upcoming competitions.

They involved the students in different activities and taught them to become active.

The school head and teachers did not only focus on serving the children. They also served, worked, and took part in community and barangay activities such as tree planting, blood donation, and gift giving to poor and underprivileged people.

At the end of the school year, with the full cooperation of the school head and teachers, the school can produce excellent and productive 21st-century learners and useful citizens of the country.

Aside from the school head and teachers, Mr. Alberto Bautista helped the teachers teach struggling readers to read. Nurses, midwives, and dentists protected the learners’ health so that they could perform well in class. Barangay health workers helped check the health condition of the children, and barangay officials also supported the needs of the young learners.
