DepEd launched Brigada Eskwela nationwide
In its mission to provide safe and clean learning spaces for Filipino learners, the Department of Education (DepEd) jumpstarted this year’s Brigada Eskwela at Siargao Island, Surigao del Norte, simultaneous with all the public schools in the country. With the theme Tayo Para sa Kalinisan, Kaligtasan at Kahandaan ng ating mga Paaralan, the week-long school maintenance practice aims to prepare schools for the coming school year and to promote volunteerism among the members of the community.
“The Philippines is the biggest country, if not, the only country in the world that gathers and prepares the schools for the coming school year.” said Education Secretary Br. Armin A. Luistro FSC to the volunteers of Numancia Central Elementary School (CES) in Siargao Island. He also said that the invitation to help out in schools is “extended to all volunteers who are willing to contribute their time, effort, and resources for the preparation of public schools.”
