EXPLANATORY NOTE

With the end goal of strengthening the capacities of our existing annex schools, in
providing appropriate learning and skills education to our students in the more remote
barangays, this Bill seeks to convert the Kabugao Agro-Industrial High School (KAIHS)-
Lenneng Annex, in Brgy. Lenneng, Kabugao, Apayao into an independent national high
school. Alongside the mandate of the K+12 Program to further strengthen secondary
education with options on academic, technical, music, sports and the arts mastery,
there is a need to prepare every school and every student on adapting to the transition.

The Kabugao Agro-Industrial High School-Lenneng Annex has provided grade school
finishers from the interior and predominantly agricultural barangays of Lenneng,
Badduat, Karagawan and Sitio Taba, Brey. Karagawan a chance at secondary education,
which otherwise would have been impossible if not difficult due to the distance of
existing public high schools, the main campus of KAIHS being 8 kms. away and another
high school, Mayor Bartolome Serut National High School which is 26 kms. away.

Kabugao Agro-Industrial High School-Lenneng Annex is now on its 4th year of operation,
having been established in SY 2010-2011. Current enrolment is 230.

With the proposed separation and conversion, Kabugao Agro-Industrial High School —
Lenneng Annex will be in a better position to craft its programs and interventions to
address the unique needs of the communities it serve, at the same time ensure that its
students are provided the full support in terms of teaching personnel, facilities and
equipments to harness their full potential in their chosen fields of specialization.

In consideration of the above, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
