Introduced By:
REP. FRANCISCO JOSE F. MATUGAS I

bY rict, Surigao del Norte (Siargao Island)

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 free secondary education accessible to all. 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 of 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 earnestly sought.
