EXPLANATORY NOTE

The objective of this bill entitled “AN ACT SEPARATING THE DUCLIGAN
NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL ANNEX IN BARANGAY KINAKIN, MUNICIPALITY
OF BANAUE, PROVINCE OF IFUGAO FROM THE DUCLIGAN NATIONAL HIGH
SCHOOL, CONVERTING IT INTO AN INDEPENDENT NATIONAL HIGH
SCHOOL TO BE KNOWN AS KINAKIN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL AND
‘APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR” is to provide quality and accessible education
to the people of Ifugao.

It is the responsibility of the State to provide quality education that is accessible to its
citizens. Article XIV Section 1 of the Constitution mandates that “The State shall protect
and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take
appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.” In the rugged terrain of the
Province of Ifugao, the reality is it takes a considerable amount of time for the students,
parents, teachers and Department of Education personnel to travel from the mother
school to the Annex school. Factor in the number of many rainy months and the mandate
of the State is not being implemented the best way possible.

Furthermore, the satellite school’s dependence on the resources of the mother school
limits its effectiveness to cater to the holistic quality education that is entitled to the
growing number of students in its care.

On the basis of the abovementioned grounds, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
