Current Issue in Pisay: Summer Remedial Program for 4th Year Students and the Pisay Diploma

During the past few weeks, several PSHS alumni reacted to a recent decision of the PSHS Board of Trustees (BOT) to introduce a summer remedial program for 4th year students who got a final grade of 5.0 (FAILED) in a 4th year subject. If these students PASS an exam to be given in summer (April - May 2008) then they will be given a PSHS diploma. If not, then they are still eligible to apply for a DepEd diploma.After several consultations the Philippine Science High School Alumni Association (PSHS AA) Board of Directors (BOD) released a board resolution for submission to the PSHS Board of Trustees.Below is the link to the PSHS BOD resolution:

kung may singko sa 4th year, eh di malinaw na hindi pumasa. hindi sila dapat bigyan ng diploma.

may diploma naman sila galing DepED di ba? yun na lang, hindi yung sa pisay.

at saka, di yata bagay magkaroon ng "remedial program" sa pisay. naturingang magagaling ang graduates, may take 2 naman pala.
