Army engineers to build schools in Davao del Norte

From the Mindanao Times (Oct 24): Army engineers to build schools in Davao del Norte

Seven schools will soon be constructed in areas in Talaingod, Davao del Norte so they can be accessible to the students who badly needed an education.

Speaking in yesterday’s AFP-PNP press briefing, Capt. Jerry Lamosao, the spokesperson of 10th Infantry Division, said they have not identified any areas yet in Talaingod but the evaluation process is ongoing.

“The Eastern Mindanao Command announced that there will be additional schools to be constructed with the help of the Army engineers,” he said.

After the completion of the schools, they will be turned over to the Department of Education for management.

He said they are really targeting students of Salugpungan schools to transfer to the schools they are going to build.

“At least we can encourage teachers to teach because we have known an experience that in one week, there are only two classes that are being held,” he said, adding that teachers need to travel for two days or more before they can reach the school.

He said the seven schools were identified as win-win solution because both teachers and students can benefit. “It is not too far and also it is very welcoming for the new teachers,” he added.

“Hopefully we can alleviate the situation when there is a need of schools in that area.”
