This year's weeklong conduct of the nationwide synchronized activity from May 21 to 26 of the National Schools Maintenance Week or "Brigada Eskwela" emphasized on the importance of health and sanitation in schools in the Davao Region.
Dr. Eunice Atienzar, Brigada Eskwela focal person of the Department of Education (DepEd) Davao, said aside from minor repairs and preparations for the school opening on June 4, Brigada Eskwela will also involve construction and repairs of toilets in all elementary and secondary schools.
She said various stakeholders from all sectors in the society are expected to converge and participate in this yearly "bayanihan" strategy where DepEd personnel from nine school divisions have been deployed to reach out to far- flung schools in the region.
Some 50 to 60 DepEd regional personnel will be joined by their counterparts from DepEd offices in Digos City in Davao del Sur while Panabo City, Tagum City in Davao del Norte, a caravan converged at Tagum City National High School.
Atienzar pointed out that joining the activity is voluntary and that it is not a pre-requisite for enrollment.
She also urged the parents of the students to participate and support "Brigada Eskwela."
Atienzar also reminded that school personnel will not receive cash, but donations in kind such as construction and cleaning materials, and/or services are very much welcome.
