3. The Child-Friendly School System (CFSS) was forged by
a close partnership of the Department of Education and UNICEF
towards fulfilling the goals of Education for All and the
principles of the Convention on the Rights of Children, and
ultimately, to fulfill the vision of more Filipino children
enjoying their rights and having a bright future within caring
and protective families and communities through the Child
Friendly Movement.

4. INTENDED OUTCOME:
The Child-Friendly School System (CFSS) enriched by ADMs
increases ACCESS to QUALITY basic education through an
expanded network of partners and allies…
—with increased capacity to develop and effectively implement
rights based policies and programmes
so that, more resources are leveraged for children (aged 6-15 y/o)
in disadvantaged communities, resulting in improved education
outcomes reducing disparities in education data.

5. To enrich the CFSS, UNICEF’s 6th Country Program for
Children (CPC 6) supported two Alternative Delivery
Modes (ADM) of DepEd, designed to bridge disparities in
disadvantaged areas by increasing the capacities of
local stakeholders (service providers, PTCA, student body,
local school boards):
MISOSA (Modified In-School, Off –School
Approach) implemented in 44 CFS elementary
schools confronted with large enrolments and large
class sizes.
E-IMPACT (enhanced Instructional Management
by Parents, Community and Teachers) implemented
in 19 CFS elementary schools to strengthen multi-
grade teaching in small and remote schools.

already having met social marketing
challenges on support for and confidence in
the competencies of para-teachers, as well
as the safety of alternative venues-- DepEd
Order No. 19 series of 2008 prohibiting
collection of any fees from school children
enrolling in preschool up to Grade 4—
provides a reason to “kill” the “off-school”
aspect of the MISOSA. The SIMs continue
their relevance and effectiveness in the
schools however, sometimes substituting for
lack of textbooks
