HOUSE BILL 3219

Introduced by REP. ELEANOR C. BULUT-BEGTANG

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This is a refiled Bill from the 15" Congress originally under House Bill No. 5805,
favorably considered and approved by the Committee on Appropriations and
Committee on Basic Education as contained in the Committee Report No. 2528, said
measure was approved on Third Reading by the House of Representatives and
transmitted to the Senate of the Philippines on January 31, 2013.

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 Conner Central National High School- Talifugo
Annex, in Brey. Talifugo, Conner, Apayao into an independent national agricultural and
trade 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.

Conner Central National High School (CCNHS)-Talifugo Annex is now on its 9 year of
operation, having been established in SY 2005-2006. Current enrolment is 229.

With the proposed separation and conversion, Conner Central National High School-
Talifugo Annex will be in a better position to craft its programs and interventions to
address the unique needs of the communities it serves, 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.
