LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

As far as learning environment is concerned, the number of classrooms and students is almost ideal. The total enrolment for the current SY 2022-2023 is 1,484 from JHS to SHS (as of January 2023) while the total number of classrooms are 17 which are all in god conditions but need to repair the pulverized flooring which is hazardous to students’ health. The learner per classroom ratio is minimum of 42 to 50 students in two shifts. The ratio of students per classroom is almost ideal especially in our nonstandard classroom size which need additional wall fans to provide good ventilation in the classrooms.

To ensure cleanliness, the schools has also water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities. The local piped water supply is available and functional for the school for drinking and sanitation purposes. In addition, the sink and lavatories are available for handwashing. More over, there are two toilets for the boys and girls but need to be repaired or rehabilitated due to clogged pipes (after so many years of usage) to provide conducive contort rooms to students.
