In the previous years wherein Brigada Eskwela has not yet been implemented by the DepEd, some pupils/students both elementary and secondary levels were hesitant to go to school on the first day of classes because of some schools wherein its facilities are not yet ready. Dilapidated classrooms, broken chairs, tables and desks, non-functional comfort rooms, dirty/grassy school grounds and many others that is still unprepared prior to opening of classes. These were only given preference to be accomplished during the time that the students were going to attend their respective classes. To some extent, it is the students who utilizes themselves in order to prepare those things.
Since the time that Brigada Eskwela has been implemented, there was a sudden change on the part of schools and on the students as well. School Personnel’s, Teachers Dep-Ed officials Parents, NGO’s, LGU and other School stakeholders have their collaborative efforts both materials and physical support to perform the specified task such as repair of classroom buildings, comfort rooms, broken chairs, tables, desk repainting, landscaping , cleaning of school grounds, etc. A one week activity for National Schools Maintenance week (Brigada Eskwela), annually makes schools’ appearance more attractive to learners. Their eagerness to go to school was enhanced as they notice and see that their school is very much ready to welcome them.
I’m not lazy or what. But I’m not an advocate of let’s-clean-our-school-first-after-enrollment- before-class. Why am I saying this? Because of in my 20 years of existence, I can only see parents, students and some teachers cleaning classrooms.
I haven’t seen Dep-Ed officials, NGO’s, LGU and other School stakeholders took part of this cleaning ek ek. Allow me to quote this last statement “Their eagerness to go to school was enhanced as they notice and see that their school is very much ready to welcome them” well, it’s as good as saying, “Their eagerness to go to school was enhanced (for they know how hard it is to sweep the floor just to make it shiny) as they notice and see that their school(is already very clean after their effort and) is very much ready to welcome them.”
Cool. Just like welcoming themselves.
