ILOILO City – The city government plans to put up additional elementary and high schools in various relocation sites in the metropolis.
The plan of “sowing the seeds for education” is part of Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog’s 10-point agenda.
“This is the direction of our city – to put up schools in relocation sites. We have noticed that some students commute from their house going to school and back. We want to bring the school closer to the community,” stressed Mabilog.
The city government recently inaugurated the extension of La Paz National High School in Barangay San Isidro, decongesting the student population at the main campus.
“Before, the population of one classroom is 65. Now, it is down to 50. Some 350 students have transferred to the extension campus since it’s near their homes in barangays Ingore, Ticud, San Isidro, Baldoza, Caingin, and Hinactacan,” Mabilog said.
An elementary school extension is also being planned.
Another high school will be to be established near Balabago Elementary School in a donated lot by Javellana family.
Mabilog also said the Jison family donated a two-hectare lot to be shared for the establishment of Jison National High School and SPED’s fast learners campus in Barangay Sooc, Mandurriao district.
“Students within the area of Sooc and Calajunan need not to travel far just to go to school,” he added.
The Uswag Integrated School in Uswag Subdivision in Barangay San Isidro and Iloilo River Plains Integrated School and Tiu Cho Teg-Ana Ros Foundation (TCT-AR) Foundation Integrated School in Barangay Lanit serve the relocation sites at Jaro district. (Iloilo City PIO/PN)
