Carrying broomsticks and paintbrushes, ALI participated in the grand kickoff of NCR Brigada Eskwela 2017 held at Paranaque National High School last May 15, 2017. It was participated by students, parents and volunteers who take part in cleaning and fixing different areas of the school. This is an annual event that aims to improve the quality of education in the Philippines by preparing the campus before the classes begin. It encourages all education stakeholders and partners to participate and contribute their time, effort and resources to the school maintenance activity to ensure that all public school facilities are ready for the school opening this June 2017. This year also marks the Philippines’ shift to the K to 12 program.
