CONVERTING THE CONSOLACION NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to convert the Consolacion National High School (Laray
Extension) in the Municipality of Consolacion, Province of Cebu to an

independent National High School to be named as “Nangka National High
School”.

The 1987 Constitution provides that the State shall protect and promote the
tights of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take necessary and
appropriate steps to make education accessible to all. The Constitution likewise
mandates the State to establish and maintain a system of free education in the
elementary and high school levels.

The Consolacion National High School (Laray Extension) has served the
surging demand for secondary education in the locality and has been another
avenue of learning in the Municipality of Consolacion since the year 2015 due to
the fact that the main campus can no longer accept new students. At present, it
caters to the educational needs of grade 7 and 8 classes and the location is very

strategic to address the educational needs of 4 barangays namely: Nangka, Lamac,
Cansaga, and Pitogo.

With the creation of the Consolacion National High School (Laray
Extension) into Nangka National High School, the capability of the said school as
a catalyst for change in the municipality of Consolacion, Province of Cebu will be
boosted. As secondary education becomes less costly in this part of the country,
more and more of our people will adopt secondary education as an effective
vehicle for personal and social development.

In view of these premises, therefore, the early approval of this measure is
earnestly sought.
