Sorsogon TESDA Tech Institutions Review QMS Documents, IDP

To prepare for the deployment of their Quality Management Systems (QMS) and to produce inputs for the revision of their Institutional Development Plans (IDPs) 2005-2009, school administrators and personnel of Bulusan National Vocational Technical School (BNVTS) and Sorsogon National Agricultural School (SNAS) participated in a workshop facilitated by TESDA Sorsogon Provincial Office this August 15-16, 2006 at Tent Yard Inn, Sorsogon City.

During the activity, Quality Focal Persons and process owners presented their school's Quality Manual, Quality Working Group organizational structure and procedures manuals for review and comments.

Mr. Emmanuel H. Buban, QMS Focal of TESDA V; Miss Elizabeth L. Bornas, Supervising TESD Specialist, Mr. Manny P. Azusano, TESD Specialist II, both of TESDA-Sorsogon provided inputs during the review.

Mr. Buban also gave a briefing on updates on the TESDA Quality Management System. He emphasized the relationship of the school's QMS to meeting customer/client requirements. He also noted the value of internalizing the principles of quality in effectively implementing QMS.

Twenty-seven procedures manuals from the two TTIs were reviewed.

The progress of BNVTS and SNAS vis-a-vis the milestones they set in their IDPs were also checked during the workshop. Personnel from the two schools analyzed their accomplishments from 2005 to mid-2006 and identified factors that helped them attain their targets. They also conducted simplified failure analyses along targets where they did not completely attain them.

The Sorsogon TTIs will use the results of their analyses in proposing revisions in their IDPs later.

Ms. Romana B. Bermillo, OIC-VSA of SNAS, and Engr. Roan P. Espinas, Vocational School Administrator of BNVTS, also provided inputs to their personnel throughout all the activities during the workshop.
