EXPLANATORY NOTE

The implementation of the K-12 Curriculum is one of the greatest reforms in the
Philippine Educational System today. It is in cognizance of the mandates of the Constitution to
fablish, maintain and support a complete, adequate and integrated system of education relevant
to the needs of the people and society,”

While majority of the schools in the urban centers have not experienced the birth pains in
implementing educational reforms at its early stage, those public schools located in the far-flung,
areas have been usually inconvenienced by myriads of problems, including the availability of
public high schools where the poor elementary school graduates may pursue their basic education
studies

It is important to note how the government really gives importance to the education of
our children as can be gleaned from another Constitutional mandate that the State shall not only
make education accessible to all but also to uphold the right of citizens to quality: education

However, these Constitutional mandates may not be given credence if the persistent
clamor of the people, school and public officials to establish a public high school annex in
Barangay Palale, Municipality: of Tinio, Province of Nueva Ecija will be ignored by the
government. In this far-flung area, elementary school graduates have to enroll to Rio Chico High
School or Lino Bernardo High School, where they will be spending hours of walking or spend
Whatever is left of their allowance for transportation fare

This bill therefore seeks to establish a public high school annex in Barangay’ Palale,
Municipality of General Tinio, Province of Nueva Ecija to be known as Barangay Palale High
School Annex in order to address the growing clamor of the stakeholders of Barangay’ Palale.
who have been greatly inconvenienced by the distance of public high schools in other barangays.
‘This will also lessen the cost and risk of sending their school children to the suburbs where public
high schools are located

In view of the foregoing reasons. the approval of this silssought
