Marcos inspects prefabricated classrooms in Bataan
President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. on Thursday inspected newly installed prefabricated classrooms in Mariveles, Bataan as he highlighted the administration's innovative solutions to address the country’s classroom shortage.
The President's visit at Mariveles National High School-Alasasin Annex showcased the Department of Education’s (DepEd) efforts to improve the delivery of learning spaces using modular technology.
For his part, Education Secretary Juan Edgardo Angara said the initiative offers a practical interim solution while permanent school buildings are being developed.
The classrooms will immediately serve 1,031 learners students at Mariveles National High School-Alasasin Annex, which faces a projected shortage of at least five classrooms due to an expected increase in enrollment.
Marcos also led the distribution of digital learning devices and the rollout of the “YAKAP at Kalinga Caravan,” providing free medical consultations, laboratory services, medicines, and vision screening for students and school personnel.—AOL, GMA Integrated News
