through DepEd Order No. 29, series of 2018. This assessment was designed to
assess Grade 1 learners who have developmental delays with a standard deviation
of 69 across domains based on the post assessment of ECCD of the current year.

MFAT was given to help teachers and school heads to design appropriate
intervention to our learners one month after the opening of classes. As of this time
there are already 230 trained teachers and an additional 185 teachers from the last mile
school including Palawan, Cuyo, Agutaya and Magsaysay.

Bebet: Since we are now in the new normal scenario, where we can’t conduct face

Once again to address the trials in the implementation of MFAT for Grade 1

that all will be ready for the implementation.
