English: A discussion led by the Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II) flagged the underutilization of the Basic Education Facilities Fund (BEFF) as one of the reasons for the delay in school infrastructure construction. For 2023, only 192 out of the target 6,379 classrooms were built, according to a report by the Commission on Audit. The discussion also flagged bottlenecks in the procurement and in the coordination between the DepEd and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
