EXPLANATORY NOTE

While the State has been providing free elementary and secondary education for some time now,
this public service does not reach everyone. More concrete steps must be taken so that this
Constitutionally mandated service will reach more children.

In the case of Barangay San Nicolas (in the Municipality of Don Carlos and in the Province of
Bukidnon) the children from this and many other barangays around it have been going to school
at an annex building of the New Nongnongan National High School for several years now. The
students of the aforementioned annex already exceed the number of those going to the main
‘campus. It has become necessary to establish a new national high school in the said barangay and
to put into practice the establishment and maintenance of a system of free public education in the
elementary and high school levels for the children living there as enshrined in Section 2, Article
XIV of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, This proposal has been favorably endorsed by the
General Parents, Teachers and Community Association (GPTCA), the Local School Board and
by the Sangguiang Bayan

Hence, approval of this bill is urgently sought
