**Barkada Kontra Droga (BKD) Program**

The Barkada Kontra Droga (BKD) program is a peer-based preventive education and information campaign that aims to empower the youth to lead drug-free and productive lives. It is a joint flagship initiative of the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) and the Department of Education (DepEd), promoting positive peer influence as a key strategy in drug abuse prevention.

---
# # # **Legal Bases and Official Policies**

The BKD program is anchored in Philippine law and institutionalized through the following policies:

* **Republic Act No. 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002):**
Serves as the primary legal basis. Section 43 mandates that school councils and campus organizations implement programs that prevent the use of dangerous drugs.

* **DDB Board Regulation No. 5, Series of 2007:**
Officially institutionalizes the BKD program nationwide. It provides guidelines for establishing Barkada Centers in all secondary and tertiary schools, serving as hubs for peer counseling and advocacy.

* **DepEd Order No. 12, s. 2009:**
Strengthens the National Drug Education Program (NDEP), with BKD as a key student-led component of this comprehensive approach.

* **DepEd Memorandum No. 200, s. 2016:**
Reiterates the establishment of BKD Chapters in schools to further support and enhance the implementation of NDEP.

---

# # # **Goals and Key Components**

The BKD program follows the *“Barkadahan”* concept, which uses positive peer influence and camaraderie to promote a collective stand against drug abuse.

* **Program Phases:**
Membership development typically follows four phases:

1. Launching Seminar
2. Capability Building
3. Implementation of Action Plans
4. Monitoring and Evaluation

* **Establishment of BKD Centers:**
In public schools, BKD Centers are usually managed by NDEP Coordinators, while in private schools, they are often handled by the Guidance Office.

* **Membership:**
The program adopts an open membership policy, allowing any drug-free individual who is committed to promoting a healthy lifestyle to join.

* **Inclusivity and Development:**
Recent initiatives, such as the 4th National BKD Convention (April 2024), highlight expanded focus areas including social-emotional learning, safe spaces, and responsible use of social media as protective factors against drug use.

---

# # # **Core Activities**

Common BKD activities at the school level include:

* **Alternative Activities:**
Poster-making, slogan writing, essay contests, sports events, and other productive engagements that promote positive youth development.

* **Education and Advocacy:**
Orientation seminars, symposiums, and information campaigns aimed at raising awareness and correcting misconceptions about illegal drugs.

* **Support Services:**
Peer counseling and referral systems facilitated through BKD Centers to assist students in need.

# # Summary of the SF10 Transfer Process

The transfer of School Form 10 (SF10) is a coordinated process between schools that relies heavily on the **Learner Information System (LIS)** for tracking. The procedure begins when a receiving school enrolls a student, which triggers an automatic notification to the originating school’s dashboard. This system alert ensures that the originating registrar is aware of the transfer and has the necessary contact information to send the physical records via mail or courier. To maintain an accurate digital trail, both institutions are required to log specific dates in the LIS—the originating school marks when the documents were sent, and the receiving school marks when they were officially handled.

To prevent delays in student documentation, strict monitoring timelines are in place. If the physical records do not arrive within 30 days of the LIS notification, the receiving school must use the "follow up maturing request" feature within the system to alert the previous school. Should the documents remain missing by the end of the first grading period, the matter is escalated to the **School Governance and Operations Division (SGOD)**.

THREE TERM SCHOOL CALENDAR in Basic Education for School Year 2026-2027

REVISED GUIDELINES ON CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT, GRADING SYSTEM, AND AWARDS AND RECOGNITION FOR THE K TO 12 BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM

Policy Briefer

A. Main Purpose of Assessment
Assessment is a core component of teaching and learning. It serves to improve instruction, provide meaningful feedback, and promote continuous growth of learners. It shall be aligned with learners' developmental stages to ensure responsiveness to learner needs.

В. Formative Assessment
Formative assessment shall be embedded in daily instruction, making it a natural part of every lesson instead of a separate activity. Results gained from formative assessment shall serve as a learning reference and inform teachers what to teach next, how to teach it, and which learners are in need of additional support. In formative assessment, teachers are to apply the ESRU cycle, which will allow teachers to adjust depending on student response. Developmentally appropriate methods of formative assessments will also be applied per key stage.
