The Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) has announced it will phase out its grade transmutation policy. Currently, student raw scores are converted into final grades based on a predetermined scale. Under the new directive, raw scores will instead be used as the final grade, eliminating the conversion process. This change aims to provide a more accurate reflection of a student’s performance and understanding of the material. DepEd has not yet specified a timeline for the complete removal of the policy, only stating it will be phased in. The move is expected to impact how student academic achievement is evaluated across the country.
