EXPLANATORY NOTE

Education in the farthest reaches of our country is currently existing in unfortunate conditions. Article
XIV, Section 1 of the constitution states 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 education accessible to all.”

As itis the duty of the goverment to ensure that quality education be made available to all Filipino
students, there is a real need to focus on making it accessible to those living in remote areas.

Such is the primary justfication for the need to separate the Dansolihon National High School from
it's mother school, Mambuaya National High School. The former has been in existence since June 2005.
it was created specifically for the students of Barangay Dansolihon and the seventeen (17) sitios nearby.
It has since served hundreds of students despite its serious need for proper facilities.

As an annex school, Dansolinon National High Schoo! has to defer decisions to Mambuaya National
High School. Such a set up has not always been advantageous to the former, as the mother school's
interests are often prioritized. This is indeed unfortunate as the enroliment of a steadily increasing student
population signifies various emerging concems that can best be addressed by an administrative body that
is not dictated by an extemal one. Dansolinon National High School must p allowed to function separately
and independently in order for it's administrators to have a free rein in purguing the vision for the school

There is an impending need to deliver quality education specially)to students in far flung areas. It
is the most effective way for a community to achieve socio-economic|probress. The development of
Dansolihon National High School will be a significant step towards thp redjization of this goal as it is
ultimately aimed at ensuring the existence of a knowledgeable and consfquenttly productive citizenry.

In view thereof, the approval ofthis bill is eamestly sought
