SPJ

The Special Program in Journalism (SPJ) is developed to enrich the experiences, hone the journalistic skills and competences of student-writers and to strengthen free and responsible journalism

In response to the need of raising the level of competence of secondary school students on the various aspects of journalism, the Bureau of Secondary Education (BSE) of the Department of Education (DepEd) designed a Special Program in Journalism that primarily aims to enrich the experiences, hone the journalistic skills and competences of student-writers, and to strengthen free responsible journalism in secondary schools.

This program supports R.A. 7079 or the Campus Journalism Act of 1991, which mandates the Department of Education "to conduct and implement programs in various aspects of Journalism."
