EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘The Atok National High School- Annex is situated in Camp 30, Caliking, Atok, Benguet, 10 km.
away from Poblacion.

It caters to students from the following eight (8) elementary feeder schools: (1) Adoyunan
Elementary School, which is 8 kms. Away; (2) Bonglo Elementary School, 16 kms away; (3) Cagui-ing
Elementary School, 9 kms away; (4) Calasipan Elementary School, 26 kms away; (5) Caliking
Elementary School, 6 kms away; (6) Camp 30 Elementary School, 50 m, away; (7) Topdae Elementary
School, 8 kms. away; and (8) Wakal Elementary School, 15 kms away. Their combined enrolment is
1262.

In 2013, total enrolment of Atok NHS-Annex is already at 339. Industries in the area are
agriculture, merchandising and handicraft.

Aside from this extension school, only three other high schools are within the area: (1) Atok
‘National High School-Main in Poblacion, Atok which is 10 kms away; Saint Paul’s Academy of
Sayangan, Inc. in Paoay, Atok, around 20 kms. away; and (3) Tublay School of Home Industries-Main
which is 17 kms, away.

Hence, it is proposed that this extension school be converted into a separate and independent
national high school to be named Camp 30 National High School. It aims to provide access to relevant
and quality secondary education in the locality and its neighboring barangays in the hopes of making
productive and responsible members of the community.

With the conversion of this extension school, school-aged children would have a better chance of
finishing formal high school education. It would give more substance to the state policy of providing free
quality secondary education to all as mandated by the Philippine Constitution,

It is for these reasons that support for and prompt passage of this proposed bill is eamnestly
sought.
