HOUSE BILL NO.. 4 29 6

Introduced by REP. ELEANOR C. BULUT-BEGTANG |

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to separate the Conner Central National High School (CCNHS)-Guina-
ang Annex from the Conner Central National High School Main Campus and convert
it into an independent national high school to allow it more independence and
flexibility in crafting programs appropriate to the needs of its students and its
catchment areas and to undertake necessary improvements without the constraint
and limitation imposed by a mother campus.

The CCNHS-Guina-ang Annex has been in operation since 2011. It’ is offering
complete Junior High School curriculum. Its current enrollment is 111 while the Main
Campus has 528 students. The distance from the schools is 10 kilometers.

In line with Republic Act No. 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013,
schools all over the country are mandated to provide full academic and skills training.
However, given the operation of Annex Schools, which remain attached and
dependent on the Main campuses for everything from teacher items, MOOE,
program directions and approval for the most basic improvement plans, growth and
initiatives are often constrained.

Thus to remedy the situation, and given the readiness of the Annex School to chart a
more independent operation which is responsive to its students and the
communities it serves, the approval of this measure is urgently sought.
