THE government with other partners need to guarantee that Filipino students attend, stay in, and learn in school. They must build trust and collaborate effectively. As a result of this public-private collaboration on education and voluntarism, Republic Act 8525, often known as the “Adopt-A-School Act,” was passed in 1998.
DepEd Order No 009, s. 2024, dated July 15, 2024 entitled, “Implementing Guidelines on the School Calendar and Activities for the School Year 2024-2025”, provided that DepEd shall conduct the Brigada Eskwela from. July 22 to 27, 2024 with the theme, “Bayanihan Para sa Matatag na. Paaralan”. The Brigada Eskwela’s policy states that all work and responsibilities are voluntary.
