  • b. Moving Up or Completion Ceremonies should be simple, involving only the learners, their parents and the school; and
  • c. Nonacademic projects such as attendance to field trips, film showing, Junior- Senior promenade, and other school events should not be imposed as requirements for graduation or completion.

 

For Public Schools only

  • d. Expenses relative to the activity should be charged to the school Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses subject to existing guidelines. No DepEd personnel shall be allowed to collect any kind of contribution or fee for graduation/moving up/completion ceremony.
