Zamboanga City government addresses classroom shortage and repairs

June 18, 2023 by NewsLine Philippines

ZAMBOANGA CITY – The Schools Division of Zamboanga City is closely collaborating with the local government, led by Mayor John Dalipe, to promptly tackle the issue of classroom shortages and the repair of dilapidated classrooms.

During a recent press briefing held at City Hall, Vinnie Gerard Elicano, representing the City Schools Division Office, provided an update on the current state of classrooms in the city.

In the elementary level, there are presently 3,750 classrooms, out of which 967 require repairs. Looking ahead to the next school year, there is an anticipated shortage of 208 classrooms, which is approximately 26% of the projected enrollment.

At the secondary level, there are 1,676 classrooms, with 325 in need of repair. Additionally, there is a shortage of 1,243 classrooms, representing 19% of the total demand.

Elicano also mentioned during the press briefing that the Sangguniang Panlungsod, the city’s legislative council, passed a resolution requesting an assessment of potable water availability in primary and secondary schools. This assessment is being conducted by the Zamboanga City Water District, in coordination with the city mayor.

Moreover, Elicano highlighted that the construction, repair, and maintenance of comfort rooms and wash facilities are included in the schools’ annual implementation plan. These initiatives will be funded through the Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) allocated by the national government, as well as through social mobilization and local funds.

In preparation for the upcoming Private Schools Athletic Association (PRISAA) National Games in July, efforts are underway to designate 10 schools as billeting venues for the participating athletic delegations. Additionally, measures are being taken to address water shortages and repair lighting facilities in schools to ensure a smooth and successful event.

The collaboration between the local government and the Schools Division of Zamboanga City showcases their dedication to enhancing education infrastructure and providing conducive learning environments for all students.
