IN A move to support education, the Tagbilaran City Government, led by Mayor Jane Yap, conducted a meaningful ceremony on January 10, 2024, at the Cabawan Elementary School for the distribution of uniforms to elementary students and for the turnover of Science Reading Associate (SRA) Laboratory learning materials to the Department of Education (DepEd) Tagbilaran City Schools Division.
Dr. Wilfreda Bongalos, the Schools Division Superintendent of the City Schools Division of Tagbilaran City, along with school principals and DepEd personnel, officially received these valuable resources.
During the distribution of uniforms, Mayor Yap emphasized the importance of this endeavor, stating, “Ensuring that our students have proper uniforms not only promotes a sense of identity and belonging but also removes potential barriers to their education. We believe that this simple gesture contributes to a positive and inclusive learning atmosphere.”
Simultaneously, the turnover of SRA Laboratory learning materials, funded under the Tagbilaran City Special Education Fund, signifies the city’s commitment to advancing science education.
The SRA Learning materials will be distributed to the Taloto Elementary School and Dampas Elementary School to aid challenges faced by non-reader students, extending the impact of the initiative to schools where additional support is needed.
Furthermore, a scheduled distribution of uniforms will take place across all public elementary schools in the city, guaranteeing that over 10,000 students will benefit from this essential provision.
Mayor Yap believes that education stands as a cornerstone of community development. She further emphasized that by investing in resources and support for students, they are directly investing in the future of Tagbilaran City.
The ceremony not only symbolized the tangible support provided to students but also reflected the ongoing commitment of the City Government of Tagbilaran to prioritize education and empower the younger generation for a brighter future.
