Design for Salamat Hashim Leadership Award

         I.              Background

Awards and recognition are traditional practices of the Ministry of Basic Higher and Technical Education-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (MBHTE-BARMM) in line with the DepED’s adoption of the newly-designed K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum. In as much as assessment is one of the core components of the K to 12 Curriculum, MBHTE continues adopting Policy Guidelines on Classroom Assessment to determine learners particularly in Grade 6 and Senior High School graduates that emerge with excellence and outstanding performances in both curricular and co-curricular abilities. Leadership skill is one of the competencies under co-curricular performance that needs to be developed in every Bangsamoro learner. The learner that excels in this particular skill deserves recognition. Thus, this Ministry introduces Salamat Hashim Leadership Award, which is named after the founding Chair of the MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) to glorify grade 6 and senior high school graduates that exemplify his leadership traits in advancing the sacred struggle for self-determination of the Bangsamoro people.

Salamat Hashim Leadership Award shapes desirable leadership passion among young Bangsamoro learners who have demonstrated effective, motivational and contributing leadership skills, capabilities and responsibilities for promoting youth and learners to become useful Bangsamoro citizens of the BARMM in particular and the nation as a whole. It portraits the utterances of Hashim Salamat, “Even if I die, the next generation will continue the struggle.” It also boosts significant encouragement for graduating learners who will be acknowledged as recipients of this award during their school-awarding ceremony. It will definitely persuade Bangsamoro students to strive harder for leadership excellence that possibly prepares them to pave their paths towards commendable performances which will motivate and develop their leadership skills, knowledge and capabilities for the future sustainable administration and management of the BARMM Government as what Salamat Hashim said, “I encourage everyone, let us walk together for the next level of this struggle, In sha Allah”.   

II.           Rationale

For the strengthening and sustainability of the student’s enthusiasm towards passion of excellence and outstanding abilities, skills and knowledge, the Ministry released MBHTE Office Memorandum Order No. _______ s. 2021 dated May 27, 2021 entitled: “Policy Guidelines on Awards and Recognition for the K to 12 Basic Education Program”. This unnumbered Office Memorandum Order s. 2021 stipulates the different awards and recognition that shall be given to those students showing exemplary performances and achievements in both curricular and co-curricular activities. One of the awards specified in the guidelines is the Salamat Hashim Leadership Award recognizing leaners/students who are able to meet set of criteria in the following manner:
