History[edit]
The DOST was formed as the National Science Development Board in June 13, 1958, during the
administration of President Carlos P. Garcia. The science body was formed as a result of a law
passed in the Congress upon the recommendation of Dr. Frank Co Tui, who was tasked by Garcia to
conduct a survey regarding the state of science and technology in the country. It was reorganized as
the National Science and Technology Authority (NSTA) in March 17, 1981 and was given broader
policy-making and program implementing functions.[2][3]
In January 30, 1987, during the administration of President Corazon Aquino, the NSTA was elevated
to cabinet-level status with the signing of Executive Order 128, and was renamed as the Department
of Science and Technology.[3]

Functions of DOST[edit]
1. Formulate and adopt a comprehensive National Science and Technology Plan, and monitor
and coordinate its funding and implementation;
2. Promote, assist and, where appropriate, undertake scientific and technological research and
development in areas identified as vital to the country's development;
3. Promote the development of indigenous technology and the adaptation and innovation of
suitable imported technology, and in this regard, undertake technology development up to
commercial stage;
4. Undertake design and engineering works to complement research and development
functions;
5. Promote, assist and, where appropriate, undertake the transfer of the results of scientific and
technological research and development to their end-users;
6. Promote, assist and, where appropriate, undertake the technological services needed by
agriculture, industry, transport, and the general public;
7. Develop and maintain an information system and databank on science and technology;
8. Develop and implement programs for strengthening scientific and technological capabilities
through manpower training, infrastructure and institution-building;
9. Promote public consciousness in science and technology; and
10. Undertake policy research, technology assessment, feasibility and technical studies.

DOST, DEPED TO OPEN 500 SCIENCE AND

TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION SCHOL

Published: 12 September 2
PASIG CITY, 05 August (PIA)--The Department of Education (DepEd) in
 partnership with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is set to
open 500 scholarship slots to 3RD year college students.

This came after the recent signing by the DepEd and DOST of the Implementing Rules
and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act No. 10612 (RA 10612) or the Fast-tracked
Science and Technology Scholarship Act of 2013.

The signing was witnessed by Former AGHAM party-list representative Angelo

Palmones, Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Assistant Secretary
Oswaldo Santos and DOST Science Education Institute (SEI) Director Josette Biyo.

Director Josette Biyo said, We are opening 500 slots for those who are already in 3rd
year college who are willing to teach. These will be offered to students in science,
technology, math, and engineering courses.

Biyo stressed that the scholarship aims to aid in the economic development of the
country through the promotion of research, innovation, as well as utilization of the said
fields of study.

DepEd Secretary Br. Armin Luistro FSC on his part underscored the importance of the
teachers to be fully immersed in the subjects they are teaching. This program is
important as it encourages students to be teachers in science, technology and
mathematics courses, Luistro said.

The education chief mentioned the importance of the signed IRR as an avenue for
practitioners in science, math, engineering, statistics and the like to share their own
experiences in their respective fields of expertise as teachers in the Senior High School
Program. This will in turn provide for more comprehensive, extensive, and holistic
lessons for the students.

Meanwhile Agham representative Palmones said, We need passionate individuals to

push for careers in science and math, especially in developing the mindsets of the
Filipino youth.

He added that the implementation of the RA 10612 is the realization of Section 8 of the
K to 12 law, which pushes for the hiring of graduates of science, math, statistics,
engineering and other specialists as teachers.

The DOST-SEI, as the main implementing body of the act, shall formulate and prescribe
timely and relevant guidelines to monitor and evaluate the academic performance of the
scholars. As the partner of DOST-SEI, DepEd will ensure job placement and hiring of
qualified graduates under this program as secondary school teachers in science,
mathematics and related technology courses, as well as the monitoring and evaluating
of the teachers under this program. (DepEd/RJB/LFB/PIA-NCR)
