EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to separate the Governor Benjamin Leguiab, Sr. Memorial National High Schoo!
(GBLMINHS) -Sacpil Annex from the Governor Benjamin Leguiab, Sr. Memorial National High
School Main Campus and convert it into an independent national high school, thus allow the
school to exercise autonomy and flexibility in crafting programs appropriate to the needs of
its students and its catchment areas and to undertake necessary improvements without the
constraint and limitation imposed by a mother campus.

‘The GBLMNHS ~Sacpil Annex has been in operation since 2013. It is offering complete Junior
High School. Its current enrollment is 84 for SY2016-2017, while the Main Campus has 256
enrollees. The distance from the schools is 10 kilometers.

In line with Republic Act No. 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, schools
all over the country are mandated to provide full academic and skills training. However given
the structure of Annex Schools, which remain attached and dependent on the Main campuses
for everything from teacher items, MOOE, program directions and approval for the most
basic improvement plans, they are most often provided with the least support.

Thus, with the conversion of GOVERNOR BENJAMIN LEGUIAB, SR. MEMORIAL NATIONAL
HIGH SCHOOL- SACPIL ANNEX AT BARANGAY SACPIL, MUNICIPALITY OF CONNER, PROVINCE
OF APAYAO into an Independent High School, said institution would be on the lead in framing
policies and programs to further improve the school in a way responsive to the needs of the
community.

In view of this, the passage of this measure is earnestly sought.
