EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘This bill seeks to separate the existing Tukuran Technical-Vocational High School-
Baclay Extension in Barangay Baclay, Municipality of Tukuran, Province of Zamboanga
del Sur from Tukuran Technical-Vocational High school to be known as Baclay National
High School.

Funding support from the Local Government and other private entities have helped in
terms of the physical improvement of the school but much more is needed in order to
meet the growing school populace and student needs such as the increase in the number
of teachers, books, computers, and other instructional and learning materials in line
with the Enhanced Basic Education Curriculum (K-12).

The prioritization in the allotment of funds directly from the National Government
would greatly help to ensure that the growing needs of the school would be met and that
the high standard of education be provided to our deserving students.

As sections 1 and 2 (1), Article 14 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution states: “The State
shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels, and
shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all; and, Establish and
maintain, and support a complete, adequate and integrated system of education relevant
to the needs of the people and society”.

With these reasons, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
