How To Apply: DepEd Voucher Program (Financial Assistance) For Grade 11 and 12

In order to help families with the education and tuition cost for the 2 added years of K12 curriculum in school , DepEd introduced the Senior High School Voucher Program (SHS VP) as a mechanism to provide financial assistance to senior high school students.

Through the SHS VP, the DepEd engages the non-DepEd Senior High School providers to enroll qualified voucher recipients from both Public and Private Junior High Schools. Once qualified voucher recipients are enrolled in non-DepEd Senior High School providers, the DepEd will provide assistance to these students through a voucher subsidy paid to the non-DepEd Senior High School provider.

All students who pass Grade 10 by March are eligible for the program. Those who are studying in public schools are automatically a Voucher program beneficiary, but if a Grade 10 student is from private school, the private school he/she must be attending must be part of Education Service Contracting (ESC)program of the Department of Education in order to qualify. This may be verified at the school's registrar.

The value of the voucher or financial assistance depends on the region where the child is studying.

Overturning Reasonings Against the Knowledge of God.

Friday, November 25
We are overturning reasonings and
every lofty thing raised up against
the knowledge of God.
—2 Cor. 10:5.
We need to be vigilant in guarding
against attacks on our spirituality.
Has the world’s viewof material
pursuits made inroads into our
lives? The things we love are usually
evident by our thoughts and actions.
Jesus said: “Where your
treasure is, there your heart will
be also.” (Matt. 6:21) To determine
where our heart is leading us,
it is good to examine ourselves
from time to time. Ask yourself:
‘How much time do I spend thinking
about money matters? Do concerns
over business prospects, investments,
or reaching out for a more
comfortable lifestyle occupy large
blocks of my time? Or do I strive to
maintain an eye that is focused on
spiritual matters?’ (Matt. 6:22) Jesus
indicated that those who place
primary emphasis on ‘storing up
treasures on the earth’ put themselves
in grave spiritual danger.
—Matt. 6:19, 20, 24. w14 10/15 4:4, 5

IELTS Writing: Letter-Moving to the new house

You have recently moved to a different house. Write a letter to an English-speaking friend. In your letter

1. explain why you have moved
2. describe the new house
3. invite your friend to come and visit

Dear Joe,

I am writing to let you know that at last we have moved to a bigger house near the suburb. As our new baby has arrived and my parents would sometimes come to stay with us to help look after the baby, we just could not go on living in that small bungalow. So we started looking for new place two weeks ago.

The house is great! We have spacious room now, and there is a very modern bathroom and kitchen as well. Besides, my baby will be happy because there is a beautiful garden in front of the gate so that he will have a comfortable place to play. The house has been well-decorated so we won’t spend time with that.

Why don’t you come around this weekend and see what you think of our new place? As it has been quite a long time since we met last, I am sure we will have a lot to chat and have fun in the garden.

Lots of love,

Pirlo
