EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Aramaywan National High School ~ Burirao Annex located
in Barangay Burirao, Municipality of Narra, Province of Palawan, into a separate and distinct
national high school from the Aramaywan National High School, to be known as BURIRAO
NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL.

‘The Aramaywan National High School ~ Burirao Annex presently obtains its funding for
‘operations from its mother school, the Aramaywan National High School. The continuous
increase in the number of enrollees of Burirao Annex shows that students recognize the
tremendous value of education in shaping the future and alleviating poverty, Moreover, in order
for the school to function effectively and efficiently, a regular source of funds every school year
must be sufficient, It can only be realized by making it a distinct institution and funding therefor
included in the annual General Appropriations Act. Furthermore, the separation and conversion
into a national high school will improve the administration of both Burirao Annex and
Aramaywan National High School in terms of addressing the needs of its students.

the Burirao Annex High School was issued permit to operate by the Regional Director of
Region IV-B, Department of Education, pursuant to the request of local government officials of
Narra, Palawan, after compliance with necessary requirements therefor.

This bill is recommended for approval, consistent with Article XIV Section One of the
1987 Constitution which mandates that, “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.”

In accordance with the State’s policy of providing quality education for its citizens, the
approval of this bill is earnestly recommended.
