First Feat in the Philippines
SAN CARLOS CITY - Why Pangasinan should be proud of the City
Division Office (CDO) of the Department of Education here? It is the only
International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) certified school in the entire country.
“All
schools! Buong Pilipinas kami lahat lang ang ISO nag undergo kami ng process,
we started in September 10 last year,” this CDO Superintendent Sheila Marie Primicias crowed recently to this writer the 75 primary and secondary public schools under her watch that were given world class status by the Geneva, Switzerland based
entity.
Aside from this feat, she and her staff processed expeditiously the division
office to be an ISO
9001 certified in just 90
days.

“Inuna namin muna ang
division 90 days. Kami ang record holder na pinaka mabilis sa process sa buong
Pilipinas ng DepEd,” she continued.
Because of their exploits many school officials from other
parts of the country visited the SDO here to benchmark.
She cited the officials of the division offices of the
provinces of Benguet, Abra, Pampanga, Malolos City in Bulacan, and others visited
the division dubbed as the “prettiest” and swankiest edifice among the
six SDOs in the gargantuan province of Pangasinan if not in the four provinces
in Region 1. The sprucing up of the building ensued under the administration of
Primicias.
