The event was spearheaded by the Department of Education (DepEd) External Partnerships Service (EPS) with the theme “Bayanihan Para sa Matatag na Paaralan”. This aims to awaken the Bayanihan spirit and encourage communities to help prepare schools for the opening of classes for the school year 2023-2024.
“It is just making our schools functional, clean, and orderly inside and outside the classrooms, and within the school sites,” Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Z. Duterte remarked during the kick-off ceremony emphasizing how DepEd issued a simpler and more comprehensible Department Order on Brigada Eskwela. In her written message, VP-Sec. Duterte explained the importance of this annual activity – “Together, we can lay the groundwork for collaboration and collectively create an environment that fosters unity, academic excellence, character development, and a strong sense of nationhood in our learners.”
Regional offices and schools division offices will hold their own kick-off ceremonies and advocacy activities in their respective areas until August 11. Fortune Life sales force will be joining various schools nationwide in the annual implementation of the Brigada Eskwela program or Schools Maintenance Week from August 14 -19, 2023.
