DepEd launches shared data platform to help clear classroom backlog
The Department of Education (DepEd) has launched a new online tool called the Strategic Resource Inventory for Deployment Efficiency (Stride) Dashboard to help identify areas with the most urgent needs for classrooms and personnel.
The Stride Dashboard consolidates data on enrollment, staffing, and infrastructure to enable regional and division offices to make informed decisions regarding classroom construction and staff deployment.
This initiative marks a move by DepEd towards a more systematic approach to addressing the country's significant classroom shortage, which is currently estimated at 165,000.
The launch of the dashboard coincided with DepEd's first classroom summit, which also aimed to enhance planning and procurement readiness by involving contractors, suppliers, and partners.
