Description
Description | The Department of Education (DepEd) in the Philippines is accelerating the construction of classrooms in 2026 to address a nationwide shortage of 165,000 classrooms. The program involves finalizing measures to speed up classroom construction, prioritizing last-mile schools and temporary learning spaces for communities affected by calamities. DepEd plans to build at least 200,000 classrooms over the next five to ten years, in partnership with local government units and civil society organizations. The department is also addressing aging infrastructure by condemning school buildings over 50 years old and is considering a cost limit of a little over 3 million Philippine pesos per classroom. |
