What is National Federation SELG and SSLG Election Activities, its Schedule SY 2025 – 2026?
- The National Federation of Supreme Elementary Learner Government (SELG) and Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) elections are important student-led events that help develop leadership, citizenship and democratic values among learners. These elections are held annually across all public elementary and secondary schools in the Philippines under the guidance of the Department of Education.

These events are more than just student polls—they build future leaders by encouraging teamwork, critical thinking, and responsibility. Elected student leaders then take part in school-based programs and even represent their schools at division, regional and national levels.
- Ultimately, these election activities aim to empower the youth and promote student voice in creating a positive school environment where every learner is heard and valued.

This marks the beginning of the evaluation period for Grades 1 to 3 teachers and learners, focusing on foundational skills in reading, writing and numeracy.
- The ELLN program plays a vital role in strengthening early grade instruction. The assessments aim to measure how well teachers deliver literacy and numeracy lessons, and how effectively young learners are grasping these skills. Schools are advised to follow the testing schedule set by their divisions and ensure smooth implementation.
- DepEd reminds all school heads, testing personnel and educators to use the results to improve teaching strategies and identify areas needing intervention. The goal is to boost learner outcomes and better support teachers through targeted capacity-building.
