What SYNAPSE does

SYNAPSE is SDO Pasay City's education intelligence hub. Schools encode assessment results; the division sees real-time dashboards for literacy, numeracy, reading, senior high, NAT, and ELLNA.

1

Encode

School staff upload CRLA, RMA, Phil-IRI, or SHS data.

2

Roll up

Results consolidate to school and division dashboards.

3

Decide

Filter, compare, and identify schools needing TA.

NAT, ELLNA & LiNK

School encoders can be assigned LiNK (literacy + numeracy), LiNK Literacy, LiNK Numeracy, NAT 6/10/12, or ELLNA — same as CRLA, RMA, and Phil-IRI. Use split LiNK when literacy and numeracy are different people. Division admin and Super admin can always upload these programs.

Learning Outcome

Assessment programs

Click a program card for details. LiNK is computed from CRLA, RMA, and Phil-IRI — not a separate upload.
