EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks the separation of the Gen. Luna National High School —
Consuelo Annex in Barangay Consuelo, Municipality of Gen. Luna, Province of
Surigao del Norte from its mother school, the Gen. Luna National High
School.

This measure is pursuant to the Constitutional mandate for the
State to provide a free secondary education accessible to alll. This is also
in consonance with Republic Act 6655 otherwise known as the Free
Secondary Act which was passed primarily for the benefit of the poor
who were denied education due to poverty.

The separation and conversion of the said annex high school into
an independent national high school is expected to improve its
administrative and financial capacity to deliver uncompromised
instruction to the concerned students. As it manages its own educational
funds, instructional supervision and coaching will be enhanced thereby
contributing significantly to the student's success in the learning plan.

This legislation will also be in support to the Ktol2 Program of the
Department of Education as this measure will effectively implement a
career and education system through academic integration in
preparation for the implementation of a senior high school.

For the foregoing reasons, approval of this bill is tly sought.
