VI. Summary:
The Department of Education conducted this year’s Brigada Eskwela , also known
as the National Schools Maintenance Week on May 15-20, 2017 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, the Supreme Student Government (SSG) Advisers Mr. Zaldy N.
Burce, Jr. and Ms. Aileen Alban, and teachers of Guiguinto National Vocational High
School (GNVHS) 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 15, the teachers of GNVHS held a parade that signaled the start
of Brigada Eskwela. After the parade a short program followed. The presence of different
groups of volunteers was acknowledged. Short orientation about the mechanics of the 6-
day activity was given. Finally, the opening of the Brigada Eskwela was announced. The
willing, ready and able brigade included zealous teachers, enthusiastic parents, excited
students, and other concern people of the community. Professional help such as carpenters,
welders, masons and painters was provided by some generous benefactors to assist in
reconstructing some of the classrooms.

Among the minor activities are repainting of the classrooms’ walls, ceilings, doors,
windows and window grills, repair of desks, armchairs and cabinets. Cleaning of the school
surroundings and rehabilitation of the school garden were assigned to the teachers of each
department. All the members of the brigade worked tirelessly for one week. They did all
that and more with an enviable spirit of camaraderie.

VII. Conclusion:
Through the overwhelming support of the volunteers, the classrooms are
restructured and spruced up. All school facilities are now in good condition. The school
surrounding is now free from tall grasses. Generally, the school is now ready for the school
opening.

VIII. Recommendations:
Due to the success of Brigada Eskwela 2017 , it is encourage that the next SSG
advisers and school coordinators follow the same procedure done this year, such as early
planning and recruitment of volunteers. More pledges and donations should be seek from
different sectors.
