The WHLP serves as a guide for learners on what they need to accomplish each week when they do independent study at home (DepEd, 2020). It outlines the learning tasks that learners need to do, using the Modules, in order for them to attain the most essential learning competencies (MELCs). The WHLP also trains learners to take responsibility for their own learning as they follow the prescribed schedule in the plan.
