Online records for EV teachers mulled

PALO, Leyte—If you’re courageous enough, share without expecting something in return.

This was the advice of Dr. Ramir Uytico, CESO IV, the newly installed education director in Eastern Visayas, to the region’s public servants as he started his assignment with a promise “to sincerely serve our teachers.”

One way of doing this, the director said, is the introduction of an online system where all the records of educators can be found and retrieved in just a click of a mouse button.

“We should be aware of the basic role of the DepEd—to develop the hearts and minds of our school children,” Uytico told teachers at the recent joint executive and management committee conference of educators in Palo, Leyte.

“The secret is that the principal and school leaders should have the four C’s in life—character, competence, courage and compassion,” he said, adding that the secret worked in his previous DepEd assignments.

“There are many less-traveled roads in DepEd. The government cannot provide everything to DepEd,” Uytico said.

“We exist because of the people. You don’t have a right to sit in your offices if you deprive them of the services they need,” he said, while announcing some major changes in the regional office in its services to the visiting school officials and teachers.

“I don’t want to hear negative comments that you’re just spending time on Facebook and not processing the retirement papers [of teachers and school leaders]. I will be your worst nightmare,” Uytico warned, adding that he is willing to do the work of his subordinates if they would not do their job well.

“I will first take care of the superintendents. After all, they are the one implementing programs and projects. I am depending on their performances,” he said.

Uytico said that if the region would genuinely serve the superintendents, this would cascade to the principals down to the teachers and to the school children.

“I will challenge all of them [superintendents] to take care of human resources, first and foremost the principals. I implemented this when I was superintendent of Dumaguete City,” he said.

Uytico also opposed the requiring of service records from teachers every time they go to the division office because the service records are in the division.

He announced the crafting of the regional banner project this October and which will be launched on November 8, the third anniversary of super typhoon “Yolanda.” 

The banner project would be a result of the 13 banner projects in 13 divisions in the region.

Uytico added that projects should be culture based and data-driven.

“No one will implement projects not data based,” he said.

“Please be excited because I will not stop dreaming dreams for all of us. I will make it fast. I will never stop thinking for the benefit of the region,” he said.

Uytico, the 2012 Gawad Career Executive Service Presidential Awardee and an outstanding Cebu educator, assumed his post last August 30 upon the compulsory retirement of Dr. Luisa Bautista Yu.

The multi-awarded education leader earned a Master of Arts in Education degree majoring in Teaching English as a Second Language and a Doctor of Education major in Educational Administration.

Prior to his new post, Uytico was assigned as schools division superintendent in DepEd-Dumaguete and officer in charge-assistant regional director of DepEd-Caraga.
