Over the years, the Brigada Eskwela effort has evolved from a week-
long cleaning-up and beautification exercise to a festive coming
together of stakeholders in education: students, teachers, school
officials, parents, civil society, local government officials, religious
groups, and the private sector.
In an effort to bring the spirit of volunteerism to the community level
and maximize civil participation and utilize local resources to
improve public schools, the Department of Education launched
National Schools Maintenance Week in May. Every year, in the third
week of May, various stakeholders unite and work together to repair
and prepare public schools for the opening of classes.
According to RD San Antonio, DepEd regional director for
Calabarzon, Brigada Eskwela was established to maximize the
students time on their first week of classes.
Before, the first week of class was always allotted to cleaning the
classrooms, and we see that as a problem because we only have
200 days in a schoolyear. We wanted to make the most out of the
time, and Brigada Eskwela was deemed to be the solution, he
expressed.
