EXPLANATORY NOTE

Tonsuya Elementary School has been educating students for the past years. It has also
been consistently applauded for its performance in teaching and productive links with its
community. Currently, it has a total of 2,920 pupils enrolled for the school year 2018-2019.

This school is built on a 6,292 square meter lot located at Sanciangco St, Tonsuya,
Malabon City, which is owned by the local government unit. It has 35 classrooms with an
additional 3-storey building presently being constructed having 15 classrooms. It offers an
education program from Kinder to Grade 6.

For the past years, many of Tonsuya Elementary School graduates have been enrolling
in other distant secondary schools in Malabon City. This entails more expenses since they
need to travel to another place instead of staying in the same school for their secondary
education. With a total of 21 barangays in Malabon City, Tonsuya is one of those without its

‘own secondary school. As such, the students enrol on other schools outside the barangay.

Therefore, itis necessary to convert Tonsuya Elementary School to Tonsuya Integrated
School- Secondary Level. In doing so, it will allow its primary education graduates to enroll
in the same school for secondary education thereby lessening the expenses of their parents,

reducing their travel time, and thus ensuring more accessibility and security for students.

In view of the foregoing, the approval of his proposed measure is earnestly sought for.
