NARRATIVE REPORT ON WINS PROGRAM

SY 2020-2021

The teaching-learning process involves a wide array of factors that contribute to its success. Some
of these factors include the teacher, the students, the administration, the stakeholders and the learning
environment. From among the mentioned factors, the learning environment plays a very vital role in
ensuring that the vision, mission and objectives of the Department of Education. This factor provides an
anchor on the effectiveness of the holistic development of the school. Aside from the physical attributes
of the school, school administrators should al-so promote that hygiene and sanitation are always well-
observed inside the campus. As an answer to this, the Department of Education issued DepEd Order No.
10, s.2016 which involves the Policy Guidelines for the Comprehensive WinS Program for the promotion
of correct hygiene and sanitation practices among school children and a clean environment and around
schools to keep learners safe and healthy.

The advocacy on the promotion of correct hygiene and sanitation practices among school children
and a clean environment has been the government’s priority through the Department of Education to keep
the learners safe and healthy, excel academically and develop to be productive citizens in the country.
The world’s problematic environment has impacts on children particularly in health and academic
performance that trapped in a cycle of diseases and poverty for a lifetime . Nearly 90% of the world’s
school -aged children live in low and middle income countries where living conditions often result in high
prevalence of poverty-related diseases. Whether at school or home, overcrowded buildings, lack of clean
water and sanitation facilities, poor awareness and poor personal hygiene practices are the root causes of
many diseases; and so is the lack of healthy and balanced diet. Infectious diseases like diarrhea,
respiratory infections, skin diseases, worm infections and dental caries are very common, considered
normal, socially accepted therefore neglected.
“Access to water, sanitation and hygiene services is important for effective infection prevention
and control especially in an educational setting. Promoting handwashing activities and maintaining a safe,
clean, and healthy learning environment are highly effective measures to reduce the transmission of the
COVID-19 virus and other infectious diseases,”
The overall level of implementation of areas of WinS was highly implemented by CALAOCAN
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL due to support of the program administrators, program implementers and
school health personnel in partnership with the partnership with the Parents Teachers Association (PTA,
Government organization (GO’s), non-Government organizations’ (NGO’s), Local Government Units of
Dipaculao to ensure the promotion, improvement and sustenance of the program implementation

hygiene, deworming and health education to continuously meet the standard and requirements needed in
each areas to provide a school environment that is safe and free of vector-borne diseases leading to a
school environment that is conducive to learning
 As a response to the COVID-19 situation and to strengthen the observance of the pandemic
preparedness and response measures, Calaocan ES is planning to incorporate protective measures into
the schools’ routines and is currently developing checklists to brief schools and gauge the readiness for
the face-to-face classes.
Uploading in the Online Monitoring System is a step to determine the school’s 3-star rubric rating
in accordance to the 5 areas and its 17 scoring points. The uploading to WinS online monitoring system
(OMS) was rated by the respondents as high implementation. According to the respondents, high
implementation of the WinS online monitoring system was a result of continuous assistance exerted by
the school health personnel in the capacity building and reorientation on the WinS online monitoring
system and the hands-on assistance extended by the WinS school focal person.

Assistance System integrated and SDO Learning Resource Development and Management System) The
support system was rated very satisfactory and it includes the Monitoring and Evaluation system,
Technical Assistance System integrated in WinS and the SDO Learning Resource Development and

its areas and steps in the achievement of three (3) -star rubrics rating were highly implemented while the
performance of the steering structure and support system were very satisfactory. The level of
implementation of the WinS in its inclusion to other programs such as Oplan Kalusugan sa DepED,

handwashing facilities with soap and water.

If inconsistent or inadequate water supply is a concern for the school,
increase the water storage capacity with the help of the community
or ask children to bring a bottle of water from home, if possible.

Calculate the need and ensure sufficient supply for consumable
resources, including: soap (bar or liquid), hand sanitizer (with at
least 60% alcohol concentration, only if contextually relevant) and
