MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Education (DepEd) recently announced the resumption of the 2021 National Qualifying Examination for School Heads (NQESH), also known as Principals' Test.
"Please be informed that the NQESH shall resume this year (FY 2021)," DepEd said in a memorandum published online by the Bureau of Human Resource and Organizational Development (BHROD).
The BHROD is now preparing for the alignment of competency assessment and examination with the standards set by the Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH).
The preparatory work is in reference to DepEd Order (DO) No. 24, s. 2020.
"As DepEd moves towards competency-based HR, the NQESH will remain its primary mechanism to safeguard and gauge the competency and quality of the aspiring school leaders in DepEd schools," DepEd Undersecretary Jesus R. Mateo said.
2021 Principals' Test updates
DepEd said that schedule and other details related to it shall be announced in the second quarter of 2021.
As the COVID-19 crisis continues, delay on the schedule and conduct of exam is expected.
UPDATE: DepEd finally conducted the NQESH on July 31, 2022. This was the first full remote online examination "to prioritize the safety and wellbeing of all DepEd personnel and recognize the varying COVID-19 alert levels operating across the different regions in the country."
