Launches Brigada Eskwela Plus
Governor Emmylou “Lala” Taliño-Mendoza urged the Department of
Education to strictly implement the “No Collection Policy” in the
elementary and high school
enrollment during the launching of the Brigada Eskwela Plus held at the
Kidapawan City National High School on Monday, May 21, 2012.
Strongly supporting the said policy, the governor said the same
policy has been discussed with the City Schools Superintendent and the
Provincial Schools Division Superintendent to refrain from charging fees
to enrollees this school year. She said that from all charges, fees
and revenue collected in the province, a certain percentage is allocated
for the Special Education Fund from which payment such as regular fees
during enrollment can be charged. This, added the governor, is separate
from the share of the schools in the national budget for education.
She also assured the school officials to help those which will be
sending to other provinces, delegates and participants in sports and
academic competitions.
Brigada Eskwela Plus 2012
Governor Taliño-Mendoza who led the launching of the Brigada Eskwela
Plus at the KCNHS, Monday, commended the parents, teachers, school
administrators, the Local Government Unit of Kidapawan City, the
Philippine National Police and the Philippine Army, and other sectors
who generously gave their time and effort in preparing the schools for
the opening of classes.
The governor also said that the jointly participated activity is an
opportune time for parents and children to “bond” with each other and
maintain if not strengthen parent-child relationship by accomplishing
something together.
Started in 2003, Brigada Eskwela became a venue where the community
can get actively involved in the affairs of basic education,
particularly through helping prepare public schools for school opening.
To maximize the strength of Brigada Eskwela as a brand that can unite
the community behind a common cause (education), Brigada Eskwela Plus
is now in effect which shall be implemented in three phases that will
focus on contributing to the (a) increase in participation rate; (b)
decrease in drop out rate; and (c) improvement of academic performance
of public schoolchildren.
The Brigada Eskwela Plus 2012 in Kidapawan City National High School is a five day activity which will end on May 25, 2012. sgjh
