...LINAGIT PRIMARY SCHOOL Meyto, Calumpit, Bulacan NARRATIVE REPORT ON BRIGADA ESKWELA SY 2011-2012 Educators believe that environment plays a big part in pupils’ learning. And so, if classrooms are not conducive to learning because of poor condition and some defective school facilities, education is hindered. The Department of Education conducted this year’s Brigada Eskwela , also known as the National Schools Maintenance Week on May 23-28, 2011 where all education stakeholders contributed their time, effort and resources in ensuring that the school facilities are ready in time for the school opening. As early as March, Ms. Filipina P. Yanga and teachers of Linagit Primary School recruited volunteers who would participate in the brigade. Parents, school alumni and other people from the community were encouraged to join the week - long annual program. Since no national government money was put into Brigada Eskwela (because there was simply no budget for that purpose), private businesses, NGO’s, private individuals and local government were tapped to solicit donations to cover the effort of repair and maintenance of the school. It was on April when the school physical facilities coordinator and some PTA members performed a school ocular to identify the school facilities that need repair and maintenance. After this, the steering committee planned different school’s activities for Brigada Eskwela . Early morning of May 23, the teachers of Meyto Elementary School...

The processes along with other resources in the organization drive its workand responses to changes in its environment. Processes of an agile organization must be effective, efficient, reusable and well managed. Furthermore, they must ease quick responses to changesin the environmentof the organization. The study of designing organizational processes can stimulate us to design better organizations. It can borrow ideas, tools and techniques fromareas such as artificial intelligence, computer science, coordination science, logic and operations research. Mostof the activities performedin organizations deal with the processing of information to meet various goals.

...I. INTRODUCTION A s Jose Rizal , our national hero once said, “ The youth is the hope of our country.” And there was another saying that states, “The youth of today is the hope of tomorrow.” These quotes are very true . That is why as teachers, our ultimate goal is to develop young Filipinos into citizens that can contribute and promote the common good of our country. One of the most annoying experiences for teachers like me is when students are absent. We prepare our lessons with the objective that 100% of the class will learn from the day’s classroom activities, and it is most satisfying when all students are present on that day and the days thereafter to ensure maximum learning. Sadly, it is very difficult to achieve perfect attendance. No matter how interesting and well-prepared our lessons and teaching materials are, there are bound to be learners who miss out on the day’s activities—willingly or unwillingly. I would like to minimize this problem, if not eradicate it completely. That is why I conducted an action research to understand them better. I wanted a more accurate analysis of why some of my students are perennial absentees, so I could formulate plans, projects, and programs to minimize their absences. I hope that it could enlighten us. Even if you are not an educator, you may be able to help a student to stay in school. II. PROPONENT OF THE STUDY MELANIO V. OPO, JR.

Every child is infinitely precious. Period. When we start from this vantage point, classroom management -- and its flip side, student engagement -- comes more easily. It's an outgrowth of students feeling loved and respected. This video, shot in the first few days of my classroom in 2010, and the seven tips below will show how I try to put these ideas into practice. 1. Love your Students Love them -- and stand firmly against behavior that doesn't meet your expectations or reflect their inner greatness. Too many students have internalized a profound sense of their own inadequacy, and it is incumbent upon us to remind them of their infinite value and counteract the many messages that they receive to the contrary. By loving our students unconditionally, we remind them of their true worth. Our students know how we feel about them. If we don't like them -- or if we see them as...

...The 1987 Philippine Constitution speaks elaborately of the right to education. It vows to “…protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels, and… take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all… (1987 Philippine Constitution, Article XIV). In principle, the Philippines takes cognizance of the normative characteristics or elements by which the right to education is founded namely: quality education, accessibility of the right and non-discrimination. By being so, bonded itself to the obligatory nature in realizing the right both legally and politically. The Philippine, as a state signatory to various instruments providing normative contents to the right to education, is bound by all these treaties and declarations to provide legislative as well as administrative frameworks for the realization of this right. It must concretize its commitment to promote, protect and fulfill human rights in its development plans. Politically, according to the Right to Education Project (2008), right to education is also an enabling right. It “creates the “voice” through which rights can be claimed and protected’, and without education people lack the capacity to ‘achieve valuable functionings as part of the living.”[i] The state is therefore, impelled to muster political will for the realization of this right. This is the framework by which we shall revisit the state of Philippine Education in the year 2011. INTRODUCTION The 1987 Philippine...

...EVALUATION OF BIGADA ESKWELA PROGRAM FROM 2010 TO PRESENT: BASIS FOR AN ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School University of Mindanao Davao City In Partial Fulfillment Of Ed 200 Marichu M. Celestial December , 2014 Chapter 1 PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING Background of the Study The school and community relationship is a decisive factor in obtaining financial support for the public education. While education is widely believed to help people escape from poverty and participate more fully in society and in the market place, governments around the world assume the responsibility for providing and financing education, especially basic education. But this responsibility, according to Gibson and Davies (2008) is a large and complex one for any government to meet adequately, which is why it is very important for government to explore diverse ways of financing and providing educational services. While governments remains the main financier of primary and secondary education, a substantial share of education worldwide is now delivered by private agents (Lewin and Sayed, 2005). But according to Patrinos, Osorio and Guaqueta (2009), public private partnership may face resistance from certain stakeholders. Further, as in any case and circumstance, parents and school involvements are challenged by barriers. According to Chadwick (2004), these barriers include lack of time and/or money, lack of information or training, differences...

...This year’s National Schools Maintenance Week, popularly known as the “Brigada Eskwela” of the Department of Education starts today, and this week public schools will be tapping their students and respective communities to clean and prepare their schools for the incoming school year. Education Secretary Armin Luistro says the major thrust of the 2012 Brigada Eskwela is the improvement of toilets and wash facilities to give emphasis on the importance of school sanitation and hygiene. Brigada Eskwela mobilizes parents, teachers, students, civic and business groups, local government units and other community residents in repairing and sprucing up schools two weeks before the opening of classes in June. It started in 2003 and has to date generated an equivalent amount of over P2 billion from donations in kind and man-hours spent in school repairs that would have otherwise been taken from the maintenance and other operating expenses of public schools. All of the 45,000 public elementary and secondary nationwide are mandated to take part in the Brigada Eskwela week. Many local governments and government programs could learn from the example that has been set by the Brigada Eskwela initiative that has successfully harnessed the uniquely Filipino bayanihan spirit to improve the situation of our public schools despite the lack of funds and resources. It may be nearly impossible to replicate the scale and success of the DepEd has achieved in taking advantage of the spirit of volunteerism...
