EXPLANATORY NOTE
The UNICEF observed that despite being a middie-income country with enough 
resources to support children's education, many Filipinos miss out on opportunities to 
learn. Fewer children have access to education, the quality of education is 
problematic, and conducive learning environments are lacking.
Studies also revealed that Filipino students have low retention of concepts, 
limited reasoning and analytical skills, and poor communication skills. (UP NISMED 
2005)
The students' low performance in these indicators is primarily due to the quality 
of teachers, teaching-learning process, school curriculum, instructional materials and 
administrative support. (DOST-SEI 2006)
One way to improve the competency of Filipino students is to develop a 
curriculum that strengthens the scientific inquiry of students. By establishing 
secondary schools that have strong science and technology program, students are


trained to have a perspective geared on scientific inquisition that will someday be 
usefui to the nation's development.
On this premise, this bill proposes the establishment of Bacoor City National 
Science High School in the City of Bacoor, Province of Cavite. Through the 
establishment of said science high school, students with strong inclination in 
Mathematics and Science will be given access to quality education and appropriate 
trainings aligned with their skiils. It will further develop their scientific and 
mathematical skills to become great nation builders.
Immediate approval of this measure is earnestly sought.
RAMO^ONG REVILLA, JR
