National Public School Database Automation Pushed

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian has filed a measure mandating the automation of the National Public School Database.

The senator said that Senate Bill 478 or the proposed Public School Database Act will promote an easier access to education by streamlining the enrolment process.

Gatchalian said the National Public School Database will serve as a mechanism to provide timely, relevant and accurate information to school heads and teachers that will help them perform their administrative tasks.

It will also serves as a layer of protection for the safe-keeping of learners records, he added.

“Documents are easily damaged and lost due to fragile storage, flood, fire and other disasters. Storing learners’ school records in a database ensures that these important documents are preserved and easily accessible,” Gatchalian said.
