Vocational High School Principals

  1. Inasmuch as the 1997 NEAT and NSAT were administered to randomly sampled schools only, the NEAT/NSAT grade will no longer be included in the computation of the student’s general average.
  2. However, the NEAT/NSAT scores may be utilized as baseline data for research on the competencies/skills of students. School heads who are interested to know how their students performed in the different competencies in the four (4) subject areas may request a report on the matter from the National Educational Testing and Research Center (NETRC) at a minimal cost.
  3. This policy is effective school year 1997-1998. This Order supersedes previous issuances on the matter.
  4. Widest and immediate dissemination of this Order is desired.
