CONVERTING THE NAGPAYONG HIGH SCHOOL IN BARANGAY

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article II, Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution provides that the State shall give 
priority to education. The Constitution further declares 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. Thus, the establishment, 
maintenance and support of a complete, adequate, and integrated system of 
education relevant to the needs of the people and,society is a priority of the State.
The rapid growth of Pasig City's population calls for the upgrading of school 
facilities. The Nagpayong High School reports that the number of enrollees it receives 
have been increasing the past few years. Providing accessible and quality education 
to its students with limited facilities and resources has been a challenge for the school. 
Thus, it is imperative that our schools and its facilities be upgraded in accordance with 
the educational needs of the Filipino youth.
To address this problem, this bill seeks to convert the locally funded Nagpayong 
High School in Pasig City into a nationally funded high school by putting it under the 
supervision of the Department of Education. This way, the school will have more funds 
for the acquisition of modern school facilities and teaching staff.
In view of the foregoing, this representation earnestly seeks your support for 
the approval of this bill.
