"BRIGADA ESKWELA 2025"

The Department of Education (DepEd) has officially launched Brigada Eskwela 2025, a nationwide effort to prepare public schools for the new school year. Running from June 9 to 13, this year’s theme is “Sama-sama para sa Bayang Bumangon,” emphasizing community unity. Volunteers—including teachers, parents, students, and local groups— join hands to clean, repair, and beautify school facilities to create safe learning spaces.

DepEd and partners encourage eco-friendly practices, urging the use of non-toxic cleaners and waste reduction. The EcoWaste Coalition supports these efforts to protect the environment.
