      To date the Tunaan Daku Primary School have a total number of 106 pupils and 35 pre-schoolers coming from 48 households in the sitio.

      The school started operating in 2006 with only two teachers, one of them has been a volunteer until the present.

      During the inauguration of the new classrooms, a short program was held where Barangay Kagawad Mauro Socias led the opening prayer, while Arlyn Torrejas led the singing of the national and Bohol hymns.

      Barangay Kagawad Ricardo Garcia, chairman of the barangay education committee gave the welcome address.

      Mayor Item failed to attend the event as he was in the island barangays with officials of concerned government agencies to conduct evaluation and assess the effects of Typhoon Frank in the area.

      In his message Avergonzado expressed gratitude to Mayor Item, Representative Cajes, Governor Erico Aumentado who were responsible in the implementation of the project. - Bohol Sunday Post
