The Department of Education(DepEd) is banking on the support of the private sector to be able to respond to the growing needs of various public schools here.
Iloilo City Assistant Schools Division Superintendent Angelita Ragudo said that they have been encouraging their school principals to link with private sectors to help them address school needs particularly on lack of school buildings, classrooms, chairs, books and other facilities.
“Our government could not provide everything for students because almost 80 percent of the total DepEd fund goes to personal services or on teachers’ salariesâ€, she said.
Ragudo added that they gave the prerogative to the principals to solve some minor problems and solicit school projects at their own level.
The latest to have received support from the private sector was the Arevalo Elementary School which received a school building donation from Presidential sister Elena ‘Ballsy’ Aquino- Cruz. Bo. Obrero Elementary School in Lapuz, La Paz here was also able to avail of a school building through a public-private partnership (PPP) scheme.
For philanthropists who would like to extend help forms for adopt a school program are available at the Division of Iloilo City Schools office, said Ragudo.(PNA)
