PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. inspects the ongoing classroom repairs and witnesses various activities at the Tibagan Elementary School as Brigada Eskwela commences in San Miguel, Bulacan on June 9, 2025.
With the theme, ‘Sama-Sama Para sa Bayang Bumabasa,’ this year’s Brigada aims to foster clean, safe and conducive learning environments for both students and teachers.
During the event, President Marcos Jr. and Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Juan Edgardo ‘Sonny’ Angara witness an orientation session for 20 students by Khan Academy — an online platform that provides free and high-quality educational resources.
In support of the digital transformation in public schools, Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda presents the newly installed Starlink internet service which will provide faster and more reliable internet access.
The Chief Executive likewise oversees the orientation of 200 newly hired public school teachers, a key component of DepEd’s preparations for the upcoming academic year.
To kick off the weeklong activities, Tibagan Elementary School rolls out improvement projects such as gardening, painting and carpentry — all aimed at enhancing the school’s physical environment ahead of class opening.
The five-day Brigada Eskwela will be conducted simultaneously across all regions of the country to ensure schools are fully prepared for the school year 2025–2026.
