EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Kayok Elementary School and the Liloy
National High School-Kayok Extension into an integrated school, to be known
as the Kayok Integrated School.

Kayok Elementary School and Liloy National High School-Kayok
Extension are located at Barangay Kayok in the Municipality of Liloy, a third-
class municipality in the Province of Zamboanga del Norte. Currently, Kayok
Elementary School has 189 students from Grades 1-6. On the other hand,
Liloy National High School-Kayok Extension, which holds classes at the Kayok
Elementary School, has 125 students from Grades 7-8.

The conversion of Kayok Elementary School and the Liloy National High
School-Kayok Extension is sought considering that they are seven (7)
kilometers away from the nearest high school. Thus, students who finished
Grades 1-6 from Kayok Elementary School need not go to other far high
schools for their junior high school education. Moreover, the conversion of
Kayok Elementary School and Liloy National High-School Kayok Extension into
an integrated school will provide them with more funds necessary for the
construction of classrooms and employment of permanent teaching and non-
teaching personnel.

It is also noteworthy that the conversion of Kayok Elementary School
and Liloy National High School-Kayok Extension into an integrated school is
recommended by the Schools Division Office of Zamboanga del Norte.

In turn, this measure will uphold the State’s mandate under the
Constitution to “protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality
education at all levels” and to “take appropriate steps to make such education
accessible to all.”

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
