SMCC Junior High School JOINS 2-DAY PISA FOR SCHOOLS 2026 ORIENTATION AND TRAINING
Saint Michael College of Caraga β Junior High School actively participated in the 2-Day Orientation and Training on PISA-Based Assessment for Schools 2026 for field testing personnel.
Representing SMCC JHS were Mr. Rene A. Japitana, JHS Principal, and Ms. Berfil Olmedo, ICT Coordinator, who attended the capacity-building activity in preparation for the implementation of the PISA for Schools 2026 assessment.
This participation is particularly significant as SMCC JHS has been selected as one of only five (5) sample schools in the Caraga Region and the only private school in the region to participate in PISA for Schools 2026.
The training strengthens the schoolβs readiness in supporting the assessment process, particularly in the areas of assessment administration, field-testing protocols, digital readiness, and technical requirements.
As SMCC JHS takes part in this international assessment initiative, the school continues to strengthen its commitment to developing learners who are Globally Competent, Spiritually Embodied, and Socially Responsible.
