No more classroom shortage in Phl – Noy



MANILA, Philippines - There is no more classroom shortage in the country.

President Aquino announced this yesterday in his speech during the ceremonial turnover of classrooms at Carmona National High School in Cavite, saying the classroom backlog of the previous administration has been addressed.

He lauded Education Secretary Armin Luistro for exceeding the government target with the construction of 66,813 classrooms. He said the target was only 66,800 classrooms worth around P800,000 each.

The classrooms, which range from one-story structures to multi-floor buildings, were constructed using national and local government funds and donations from the private sector.

More than 35,000 classrooms were funded by the national budget; 13,189 classrooms built using local government funds; 14,886 from local donations; 1,215 from foreign donations, and 2,242 under the Public Private Partnership for School Infrastructure Project I.

“This is a collaborative work of private organizations and public institutions, showing commitment to quality education for Filipino learners,” said Luistro.
