DepEd: Brigada Eskwela to kick off on May 16


The Department of Education (DepEd) on Thursday announced that the launch of this year's Brigada Eskwela would be on May 16.

At a press conference, DepEd Undersecretary Tonisito Umali said the launch would take place in Alfonso Central School in Alfonso, Cavite.

"Ang tema po natin sa taong ito, 'Matatag na Bayan Para sa Maunlad na Paaralan.' Alam po nating lahat ito po 'yung taunang activity na atin pong ginagawa bago po magpasukan para po ihanda ang ating paaralan, maglinis, major repairs, pipinturahan, i-isisan po ang ating mga upuan," Umali said.

Umali said the actual Brigada Eskwela would be from May 20 to 25.

Umali reminded that those who want to join the Brigada Eskwela do not need to pay fees.

He also said contributions from local and national candidates would not be accepted.

"Hindi po kinakailangang magbayad ng Brigada Eskwela fee para po makalahok," he said. "We cannot receive donations from official candidates who have filed their certificate of candidacies for the local and national elections." —KBK, GMA News
