What is Open High School Program?
The Open High School Program (OHSP) is a distance learning program for high school students who are unable to attend regular classes due to physical, economic and geographical limitations. A part of the Drop Out Reduction Program (DORP) of the Department of Education and funded by the Asian Development Bank, the OHSP was first started in 1998 and is now offered by an increasing number of public schools across the country.
Three Modes of Distance Learning
Despite being a distance-learning program, the OHSP is still considered as a “formal and structured” program with students’ learning structured around the eight core subjects (English, Filipino, Math, Science, Araling Panlipunan and MAPEH). Students also take the same exams and other evaluation measures to proceed to the next year level.
There are three ways of distance learning available through the OHSP: modular, Internet-based, and blended technology. In the modular setup, teachers use modules in teaching students on their agreed schedule (except in the case of Marikina National High School, which sets one day of schooling a week, per year level). These modules, which are similar to textbooks, are then taken home by students for self-study.
The Internet-based approach is still under development. It is only implemented in selected pilot schools in Baguio, Cebu and Davao. This approach will only be fully launched after four years, when it has passed evaluation measures. The blended technology approach is then envisioned as a combination of the two other approaches.
These three approaches still follow the same grading system, with OHSP students graduating alongside the students of the regular classes at the end of the school year. Students from other areas can also continue his studies in another school nearer to where s/he resides.
Requirements
The OHSP is open to all elementary school graduates, high school drop-outs, and Philippine Educational Placement Test (PEPT) passers who are Filipino citizens. Interested applicants for the OHSP must also undergo two tests before being accepted to the program: the Informal Reading Inventory (IRI), to measure reading levels, and the Independent Learning Readiness Test (ILRT) to assess if the applicant’s capacity in self-directed learning.

Lanao del Norte National Comprehensive High School (LNNCHS) is a public school located in Sto. Nino Village, Baroy, Lanao del Norte.
History[edit]
The institution was formerly called as Lanao del Norte Provincial High School. It is the mother of former barangay high schools in the province. By virtue of Republic Act No. 5509, approved on June 21, 1969, LNPHS was converted into a national comprehensive high school. At present, it accommodates students from different municipalities of the province offering basic and science curriculum.
Its Department of Education ID is 304005.[1]
Programs[edit]
The school has four curricula: Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), Basic Education Curriculum (BEC), Open High School and Special Program for Sports (SPS).
STEM is a program designed for students with above-average science and technology performance. Unlike BEC, it offers not just introductory but also advance sciences and even research. Analytical geometry and calculus are also introduced. Though operated by the Department of Education, the program is also supported by the Department of Science and Technology. Facilities were funded by DOST - Engineering and Science Education Program. An entrance examination must be passed to enroll in the program.
BEC prepares students for fields other than science and technology. This is the most popular program in the country.
Open high school is designed for students hindered by certain reasons to attend school everyday. The school provides modules for students to study at home and meet only on Saturday and Sunday.
Special Program for Sports (SPS) is for the athlete students which focuses on sports.
Students[edit]
Most of the students in the school are under the BEC. Only the top 90 entrance examinees are allowed to enroll in STEM. For the last five years, the number of students who finished the STEM program ranges only from 20 to 35. Qualification will not be based on the grades' overall average but only on average of Sciences, Mathematics and English grades.
The graduation ceremonies are held in Mindanao Civic Center(MCC) Gymnasium with two proclaimed valedictorians. One for each programs.
The Campus[edit]
When Lanao del Norte was still part of the Region 10, LNNCHS used to be the venue for Regional Athletic Meets held at its sports complex: with a standard-size oval for football, baseball and softball; two volleyball courts; basketball court; and a small-sized gym for indoor sports.
After its inclusion to Northern Mindanao, regional athletic meets were seldom held in the campus. Region 10 chose MCC as the new venue. But still, almost half of the sports events are held at LNNCHS.
The school has a good student-campus ratio, with an enrollment of fewer than 3,500 students on a roughly 8-hectare campus.
