The school should be prepared physically, everybody has the right for education and learning should be prepared with improved classrooms, buildings and good facilities. As stakeholders in school, “We should have intention to help without something in return.”Let us feel and enjoy the spirit of volunteerism during brigade eskwela.

Brigada Eskwela is a nationwide voluntary effort which started in 2003, bringing together teachers, parents and the community to do clean up and repairs in public schools to prepare the facilities for the June school opening.

Undertaken in all public schools every third week of May or two weeks before classes begin, it is participated in by private organizations, individuals, national and local government agencies, local businesses, and international organizations and foundations, among others.

Volunteers paint classrooms, repair furniture, and clean up the school grounds. Materials and supplies are usually donated by the parents or by private businesses and foundations.  Brigada Eskwela encourages the public to share their time, strength and resources in kind. 

The department of Education launched the National School        maintenance     week or   Brigada Eskwela led    by    Secretary    Dr.    Armin    Luistro. 

It is a nationwide voluntary effort of all DepEd employees, barangay officials,different organization both private and public, parents and students to do the clean-up and repairs in public school to prepare the facilities for the school opening.

This said activity is a school maintenance program that encourages every individual to share their skills that will help the school ready for the learners.

This   year   the   Brigada   Eskwela   started   on   May   19   to   24. On   the   first   day,   the practices learned were resourcefulness, “bayanihan” spirit among the people in the community, volunteerism and building good rapport to the stakeholders, government and non-government organization.

Plumbing,   carpentry,   electrical,   and   landscaping are   some   of   the   help   that   you   can   offer.

The   activity   also   proved   that   the   poverty can’t   hinder   the  upliftment   and   achievement   of   quality   education.   There   must   be   allocated funds for the implementation of the program especially for the major repairs of the physical   facilities   of   the   school.   Strong   communication   with   the   stakeholder,   government and non-government   organization   is  highly   recommended.
