MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Education (DepEd) said the country was short of 159,000 classrooms this coming school year which is set to start next week.
This 2023-2024 school year classroom deficit is far more severe than last year’s shortage of 91,000 classrooms.
Assistant Secretary Francis Bringas reported this disturbing data to the Senate Committee on Basic Education on Wednesday, August 23. The committee met to discuss preparedness for the upcoming school year and proposals to revert to the June to March school calendar.
