I. Title/ Topic: Importance of a School Plant, Requirements for

Acquisition, Administration and Management of the Education System,
Factors to be Considered in the Construction of School Building

II. Reflection:

School plant is very important aspect in learning. Every single

details of it affects the mood of the learners, like the lighting, the color
of the paint used, every posted and painted on the wall, etc. The
standard size of a classroom is 7m x 9m. During the discussion, I knew
that when someone donates a parcel of lot to be used as a school, the
donee has an option to name the school after them. Aside from that, of
course, private individual donates to public school to lessen his/her tax
due. The cost of the land can be deducted from his/her taxable income.
With regards to requesting budget for the construction and
procurement of anything, it has to undergo to a long process. The
request will pass through different concerned government agencies.
There will be having a lot of review, consultation, bidding, visitation of
the site and the like before it proceed to construction. Always
remember that being an administrator, we can not just buy what we
know is right to buy for the school. All purchases should under go a
proper procedure, or else, it will be a big problem. Do not forget that

 the process should include the bidding procedure. And always
remember that all agencies and authorities involve should have a copy
of the procurement. The amount of the procurement should always be
exact, smaller than or bigger than the actual amount of the purchase is
big NO NO! because this might cause a big problem when time comes,
there is this law governing this process.
It was also discussed that there is a required size for every school
building, it depends to its classifications. The size of the classroom
should also be in accordance to the prescribed requirement according to
the law. Even color of every parts of the building should be align to the
mandated rules and regulations.
It says in the report that public school buildings are owned by the
community. These may be used by the community for other purposes
but still, with limitations. Always remember that the prupose should be
for general welfare, like for instance, in Kaunlaran High School, the
other building there is being used as vaccination facility in Navotas
City.
I remembered Dr. Nieves reiterated to us that being future
administrator, we should remember that we have the full responsibility
in the school plant. Be mindful of the laws and regulations, in
everything we do, whether how big or small it is.
