The facility was established to ensure that students could continue their learning activities despite the calamities. according to the Presidential Communications Office. The modular classrooms, costing approximately P1.65 million each, were designed to protect students and teachers and can withstand extraordinary conditions.

Each LCS can accommodate 40 students, the PCO said.
