To All Lovers of Education and Learners, esteemed stakeholders, and valued members of the community,

It is a privilege to be a servant leader to SDO Nueva Vizcaya as we work together for the vital elements that shape the future of basic education of our beloved Province Nueva Vizcaya. At the heart of our discourse lies the Matatag Curriculum, a beacon of innovation and resilience designed to meet the evolving needs of our learners. This curriculum is not just a set of academic guidelines but a comprehensive approach that embodies the principles of adaptability, resilience, and holistic development.

The Matatag Curriculum is aligned seamlessly with the Department of Education’s Vision, Mission, and Core Values. Our vision is to see every Filipino child receive quality education that empowers them to contribute meaningfully to society. By fostering critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, the Matatag Curriculum ensures that our students are not only prepared for academic success but are also equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern world.

Our mission is clear: to protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic education. The Matatag Curriculum reflects this mission by integrating inclusive teaching strategies and culturally relevant content that honors our diverse heritage. It aims to bridge educational gaps and provide equitable opportunities for all learners, regardless of their background or circumstances.

The Core Values of the Department of Education—Maka-Diyos, Maka-tao, Makakalikasan, and Makabansa—are deeply ingrained in the Matatag Curriculum. These values guide us in nurturing well-rounded individuals who are spiritually grounded, compassionate, environmentally conscious, and patriotic. By embedding these principles into our educational framework, we ensure that our learners develop into responsible and ethical citizens.

To our internal stakeholders—teachers, administrators, and staff—your role is crucial in bringing the Matatag Curriculum to life. Your dedication, creativity, and commitment to excellence are the driving forces behind its successful implementation. Through continuous professional development and collaborative efforts, we can create an engaging and supportive learning environment that inspires our learners to reach their full potential.

To our external stakeholders—parents, community leaders, and partners—your support and involvement are invaluable. Education is a collective responsibility, and your active participation in school activities, community programs, and policy advocacy strengthens the foundation of our educational system. Together, we can create a nurturing ecosystem where our children can thrive.

In conclusion, the Matatag Curriculum is more than an educational initiative; it is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the future of our nation. By embracing this curriculum and upholding the DepEd Vision, Mission, and Core Values, we are not only shaping the minds of our young learners but also building a brighter, more resilient, and inclusive future for all.

Thank you for your dedication and support. Let us continue to work hand in hand to achieve excellence in education for every learner in SDO Nueva Vizcaya.

Mabuhay and God bless us all.
