EXPLANATORY NOTE

Quality and accessible education is a cornerstone in the development of a productive,
effective and skilled human resource. Such is paramount to the attainment of genuine
development especially for newly-created and developing provinces such as the Province
of Apayao.

With the end goal of improving access to quality basic education for the growing
Population of Apayao, the provincial leadership has been exerting aggressive efforts
towards the establishment of learning institutions in strategic communities in the
different municipalities.

In line with such efforts is what this bill seeks—the conversion of the Kabugao Agro-
industrial High School-Lenneng Annex (KAIHS-Lenneng) at Brgy. Lenneng, Municipality of
Kabugao, Province of Apayao into an independent national high school. The KAIHS-
Lenneng Annex was established as an extension school of the Kabugao Agro-industrial
High School at Brgy. Luttuacan in SY 2010-2011 with an initial enrollment of fifty two (52)
first year students. Now on its 3° year of operation and an enrollment of two hundred six
(206) students from 1-4" year, the annex school has given better access and opportunity
for secondary education to the elementary graduates of the two (2) elementary schools
at Brgy. Lenneng.

With the conversion of KAIHS-Lenneng Annex into an independent national high school, it
is ensured that the institution is able to undertake improvements and programs
responsive to the specific needs of its studentry.

In consideration of the above, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
