Pansamantalang isinuspinde ng Department of Education (DepEd) ang pagsasagawa ng Division and Regional School-Based Management (SBM) validation activities.
Ayon sa DepEd, inilabas ang naturang moratorium upang ihanda at tumulong sa mga held offices at schools sakanilang gradual transition mula sa DepEd order no. 83, series of 2012 o ang implementing guidelines on the revised school-based management framework, Assessment Process And Tool (APAT) patungo sa bagong SBM Policy.
Samantala, binanggit ng DepEd na “schools shall continue to undergo self-assessment using the existing SBM tool with the purpose of identifying areas for improvement,” partikular sa iba’t ibang dimensyon ng mga operasyon ng paaralan. —sa panulat ni Hannah Oledan
