Some 5,000 leading public and private elementary and secondary school campus journalists from 17 regions of the Department of Education (DepEd) meet today, Monday, in Surigao City for the annual staging of the week-long National Schools Press Conference (NSPC).
Education Secretary Florencio B. Abad said the NSPC, considered the mental counterpart of the Palarong Pambansa, the country’s premier sportsfest, serves as the culmination activity of the DepEd’s school year-long campus journalism program in line with Republic Act (RA) 7022, otherwise known as the Campus Journalism Act.
Abad said this year’s NSPC has its theme “Redirection of Values for Nation Building Through Campus Journalism (Pagbabagong Direksiyon ng Pagpapahayag sa Pagpapatatag ng Bansa sa Pamamagitan ng Journalismong Pang-Campus).”
The DepEd chief assigned Education Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Jose Luis Gascon as keynote speaker of the opening program of the NSPC which has Bureau of Elementary Education Director Teresita G. Inciong as overall conference chairwoman.
Abad also tasked host Caraga DepEd regional director Celedonio Layon Jr. to take charge of the NSPC physical management and administration in cooperation with assistant regional director Luz Almeda and schools superintendents Rizalina Bayon and Leticia Naic of Surigao del Norte and Surigao City, respectively.
Inciong said the 2005 NSPC specifically sees to:
1. Apply communication skills in the different categories of campus journalism and in scriptwriting for radio broadcast with focus on values development.
2. Promote intellectual inquisitiveness and development of learners through worthwhile national writing competitions.
3. Enhance school paper adviser skills in mentoring, coaching, and guiding campus writers on school paper management.
Inciong said the week-long conference will be highlighted by various individual writing contests which will be preceded by professional lectures from prominent media practitioners.
The individual writing derbies, Inciong said, include news writing, feature writing, sports writing, editorial writer, editorial cartooning, copy reading and headline writing, and photojournalism.
The pen pushing competitions, to be conducted in English and Filipino, will be separately undertaken by elementary and high school scribes.
The top 10 winners in each individual writing competition will be awarded certificates of recognition by Abad, Inciong said.
Meanwhile, Layon said the hosting by Caraga of the NSPC has the all-out support and cooperation of local government officials of Surigao City and Surigao del Norte as well as of Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Sur, Butuan City, Agusan del Norte, Siargao, and Bislig City.
