Don E. Sero Elementary School supports Brigada Eskwela 2019

A Technical Working Group (TWG) has been organized by the Don E. Sero Elementary School in Cotabato City incidental to the implementation of Brigada Eskwela 2019 under the theme “Matatag na Bayan para sa Maunlad na Paaralan.”

The TWG works as a support mechanism to oversee the planning and implementation of the Brigada Eskwela in coordination with other organizations.

The Schools Division of Cotabato City kicked off the week-long annual program, the National Schools Maintenance Week,  last May 20 at the Buaya-Buaya Elementary School in preparation to another school year in June, its opening set on June 3.

This activity once again would gather education officials, teachers, parents and students, barangay volunteers,  and other stakeholders to work collaboratively for the preparedness of the

the school premises and physical structures before the opening of School Year 2019-2020.. 

The TWG is headed by Emily Jean B. Omandam, Principal I, and co-chaired by Johairah M. Kasan, Brigada Eskwela coordinator. 

Kasan said the annual undertaking is important in addressing the problem on physical facilities such as the needed repairs and renovation and the checking of other sites for the welfare of the learners “since they stay longer in the school than in their homes.”

Repainting, pruning of grasses and trees, and repair of ceilings are some of the line-up of activities  in the program of work, Kasan said.

Omandam, on her part, said acts of volunteerism is one high value to promote the “bayanihan” spirit in a community where the school is part of the matrix.

She emphasized that the community has to value the school system in as much as education is a vehicle by which students learn the dynamics of personhood and that the school itself must be ensured of its safety as home to the children who undergo the rudiments of learning and the honing of skills.
