Project Proposal

Title: NagaSIGA Project

Rationale:

The School Inside a Garden (SIGA) program of the Department of Education

(DepEd) was initially launched in 1995 through DECS Memorandum No.77, s.
1995 in support of the national goal for a “clean and green” society. It stated
the responsibility of the DepEd to provide every learner with every opportunity
to care for plants, flowers, and trees. The SIGA program initially focused on
growing flowers, medicinal herbs and plants as well as fruit trees including
exotic species such as mahogany and gemelina, which these implementing
guidelines will revise. The same memorandum also stated that every school
shall plant trees in every available space. This will also be specified in these
implementing guidelines with reference to the school development plan. The
program of establishing every school within a garden was clearly stated as a
continuing program of the DepEd.

In 2008, the Gulayan sa Paaralan was launched as a partnership between

the Department of Agriculture (DA) and DepEd through Memorandum No. 293
which specialized in the planting of vegetables in school campuses and aimed
to not only green the campuses but to also support and reinforce the feeding
programs and income-generating projects of the schools. The Gulayan sa
Paaralan Program (GPP) is being implemented by the School Health Division
(SHD) under the Bureau of Learner Support Services (BLSS.)

Both the SIGA and GPP of the DepEd lend support and complement the
overarching Executive Order No. 193 Expanding the Coverage of the National
Greening Program which extended the National Greening Program from 2016-
2028.
The revised SIGA program aims to focus primarily on making school
campuses throughout the Philippines green and colorful by planting trees and
 flowering plants, prioritizing but not limited to indigenous and endemic species
to the Philippines. These identified species will not only provide shade and color
to the campus but will also serve as a laboratory for student learning and will
further reinforce the DepEd’s advocacy for the environment (MAKAKALIKASAN.

Project Description

elementary and secondary schools through the SIGA Coordinators,Youth for
Environment in Schools Organization (YES-O), , Supreme Pupil Government (SPG), and

campuses;

3. to inculcate among learners the importance of planting and conserving indigenous

and endemic tree and plant species and their role in the ecosystem;

4. to empower school campuses to become centers of biodiversity and conservation;

5. to serve as a laboratory for learners;

6. to further strengthen and reinforce the integration of environmental education in

the elementary and high school curriculum.

7. to sustain environmental consciousness and action among learners in particular

and the community in general; thereby instilling in them the values of unity,
teamwork, sense of volunteerism, nationalism, and community service for
environment protection and conservation;

8. to highlight the importance of the schools and their significant role in the efforts to
rehabilitate a heavily challenged natural environment and to highlight the
importance of the schools and their significant role as well as their initiatives
toward a sustainable Expanded National Greening Program.
