1. To fully meet the goals of the K to 12 Basic Education Program as stated in the implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act N. 10533 also known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, the Department of Education (DepEd) reiterates its commitment to ensure that senior High School-Technical Vocational Livelihood (SHS-TVL) track implements are fully equipped with the minimum standard tools, equipment, and facilities necessary for effective learning delivery.
   
2. All SHS-TVL implements should adhere to the Training Standards found in Section 3 of the Training Regulations of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). The Departments and TESDA have signed the Memorandum of Understanding to Establish a more institutionalized platform for coordination to enable a more responsive provision of TVL education and to ensure that the TVL graduates meet the industry need.
   
3. The SHS-TVL implements are also encouraged to apply for accreditations as TVL Training Center and/or Assessment and Skills Certification Centers, subject to the Unified TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) Program Accreditation Systems (UTPRAS) guidelines of TESDA.
