August 14, 2023
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. visits the Victorino Mapa High School in Barangay San Miguel, City of Manila to inspect several classrooms and other activities being conducted as the Brigada Eskwela 2023 continues this 14 August 2023.
Accompanied by Vice President and concurrent Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Sara Duterte, President Marcos Jr. is given a briefing on the maintenance works being done in preparation for the opening of classes in public schools on 29 August 2023.
This year’s Brigada Eskwela carries the theme, ‘Bayanihan para sa Matatag na Paaralan,’ and will run for six (6) days until 19 August 2023.
Launched in 2003, the Brigada Eskwela is an annual nationwide school maintenance that engages all education stakeholders to contribute their time, effort and resources in ensuring that public schools are prepared for the class opening. During the six-day event, parents, teachers, school personnel, alumni, civic groups, non-government organizations (NGOs), local government units (LGUs), private individuals and even students volunteer their time, skills and resources to do the cleaning, carpentry, painting, minor repair and maintenance of classrooms, electrical works, masonry works and pruning within the school premises.
Brigada Eskwela has been the prime mover of volunteerism or ‘bayanihan’ in the Department of Education wherein partnerships among the education stakeholders from various sectors have intensified throughout the years to actively support public elementary and secondary schools nationwide.
