Guidelines in the Printing and Delivery of Self-Learning Modules (SLMs)
The Department of Education (DepEd) issued DepEd Order No. 18, s 2020 titled Policy Guidelines for the Provision of Learning Resources in the Implementation of the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP).
The policy establishes the guidelines that will enable DepEd to provide learning resources in the implementation of the BE-LCP. It also establishes the guidelines on the release, utilization, and liquidation of support funds for the printing and delivery of self- learning modules and other learning resources.
Guidelines in the Printing and Delivery of Self-Learning Modules (SLMs)
The ready-to-print digital copies of the SLMs developed by the assigned regions, and approved and considered final, particularly in terms of content and alignment with the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) by the Bureau of Learning Delivery (BLD), can be downloaded from the Microsoft Teams folder “Ready-to-Print SLMs” created by the Information and Communications Technology Service (ICTS) for the Regional Directors, Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD) Chiefs, and Regional Education Program Supervisors in-charge of the Learning Resource Management Section (LRMS).Unauthorized printing, uploading, and conducting activities involving sharing of digital files other than the intended purpose are strictly prohibited and shall be grounds for imposition of administrative and other sanctions.
For efficient use of funds and to facilitate timely delivery of the printed SLMs for the first quarter, the Schools Division Offices (SDOs) primarily, or schools as authorized jointly by Regional Offices (ROs) and SDOs, shall set the print run based on the quantity needed and deliver these immediately to schools. The SDOs shall continue to set the requirements for the subsequent quarters, with continuing consultation with the Central Office on the appropriate printing arrangements.

In view of the extreme urgency to provide the minimum SY 2020-2021 Quarter 1 SLMs to learners on or before the opening of classes on August 24, 2020, the SDOs are given the flexibility to determine the standard technical specifications in the procurement or in-house/by administration production of printing and delivery of SLMs. In the succeeding quarters of the school year, an addendum to these guidelines may be issued to ensure uniform technical specifications.
