Re-Planning of the Sustainability of the Data Analysis Lecture Series for GIS Students
Date: October 17, 2025
Location: Principal’s Office, Garitan Integrated School
On October 17, 2025, a crucial meeting was held to discuss the re-planning of the sustainability of the Data Analysis Lecture Series Extension Program for Garitan Integrated School (GIS) students. This meeting marked the beginning of a five-year sustainability plan between the ISPSC BS Mathematics Program and GIS. The session aimed to ensure the program’s continued success and its ability to grow and benefit GIS students for years to come.
Attendees
Representing the First Party, ISPSC, were:
• Dr. Jacqueline G. Gumallao (Project Leader)
• Dr. Portugal Carbonel (Program Implementer)
• Ms. Phoebe Ramos (BS Math Program Head)
From the Second Party, GIS, the attendees were:
• Dr. Pacita M. Quitoriano (Principal)
• Mr. Sherwin Martin (Grade 7 Math Teacher)
• Ms. Mary Grace Lopez (Math Coordinator)
The meeting began with Dr. Jacqueline G. Gumallaoi leading the discussion. She presented the proposed sustainability plan for the next five years, outlining the series of activities and initiatives that would be carried out to further develop the program. Dr. Gumallaoi emphasized the importance of continued collaboration between ISPSC and GIS to ensure the program’s growth and impact.
The proposal included several key components:
• The expansion of the Data Analysis Lecture Series to cover more students, with the possibility of extending it to other grade levels.
• A detailed timeline for future activities, including curriculum development and training for GIS teachers.
• The development of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to formalize the roles and responsibilities of both parties involved.
Discussion of Past Impact and Program Evaluation
Following the presentation, the group reviewed the outcomes and impact of the extension program from 2022 to 2024. The feedback from both students and teachers was discussed, and it was agreed that the data gathered from these previous years would serve as a foundation for improving the upcoming activities. The participants acknowledged the successes of the past sessions and highlighted areas where adjustments could be made to better serve the students.
Dr. Gumallaoi stressed that the impact of the program, as evidenced by improved data analysis skills among GIS students, would be a key factor in determining the direction of future activities. There was a consensus that incorporating more interactive learning experiences and advanced topics in data analysis would be beneficial for the students’ development.
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Discussion
The meeting also focused on the drafting and discussion of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), which would outline the roles and responsibilities of each party. This document would serve as a formal agreement, ensuring that both ISPSC and GIS are aligned in their goals and expectations for the Data Analysis Lecture Series. The MOA would also specify the allocation of resources, timeline of activities, and accountability mechanisms.
As the meeting concluded, Dr. Pacita M. Quitoriano, Principal of GIS, expressed her gratitude for the continued partnership with ISPSC. She assured that GIS would fully support the sustainability plan and work closely with ISPSC to ensure its success. Dr. Quitoriano emphasized the importance of providing GIS students with the necessary skills for their academic growth and future careers, particularly in the field of data analysis.
This re-planning session was a vital step toward ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Data Analysis Lecture Series for GIS students. With clear goals, a defined action plan, and a strong partnership between ISPSC and GIS, the program is set to continue providing valuable data analysis skills to students for the next five years and beyond. The discussions during the meeting laid the groundwork for future collaboration and the continued success of the program.
The meeting ended on a positive note, with all parties expressing their commitment to the five-year sustainability plan.
A group photo was taken as a commemorative gesture to mark the event, symbolizing the shared commitment to the future of the Data Analysis Lecture Series.
