HOUSE BILL NO. 2510

Introduced by Representative Francisco Jose F. Matugas II

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks the separation of the Del Carmen National High
School - Caub Extension in Barangay Caub, Municipality of Del Carmen,
Province of Surigao del Norte from its mother school, the Del Carmen
National High School.

This measure is pursuant to the Constitutional mandate for the
State to provide free secondary education accessible to all. This is also in
consonance with Republic Act 6655, otherwise known as the Free Public
Secondary Education Act of 1988, which was passed primarily for the
benefit of the poor who are denied education due to poverty.

The separation and conversion of the said annex high school into an
independent national high school is expected to improve its administrative
and financial capacity to deliver uncompromised instruction to the
concerned students. As it manages its own educational funds, instructional
supervision and coaching will be enhanced thereby contributing
significantly to the students’ success.

For the foregoing reasons, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
