BRIGADA ESKWELA NARRATIVE REPORT

I. Introduction
School Brigade, also known as Brigada Eskwela, is a national volunteer
initiative that works to bridge resource gaps in the Department of Education by
forming alliances with nearby communities. In order to perform classroom repairs,
maintenance tasks, and school cleaning in public elementary and secondary
schools, the program mobilizes and brings together parents, alumni, civic groups,
local businesses, non-governmental organizations, teachers, students, and other
individuals who volunteer their time and skills. Furthermore, an endeavor is
underway to obtain resources, in whatever quantity, from various stakeholders,
organizations, and governmental bodies with the goal of enhancing school facilities
and other aspects of the institution.

II. Objective
This activity aims to achieve the following objectives:
 Get the school ready for the forthcoming academic year.
 Establish and promote collaboration with all external parties involved.
 Create a sense of community by viewing all parties involved as fellow
members.

III. Policies, Plans and Programs

The policies are stipulated in the DepEd Order 021, s. 2023. The said
guidelines help the teachers in planning and connection with the stakeholders in
preparation for the opening of classes. In this year, the school is planning to achieve
the following projects: classroom and office repairs, purchase of printers and other
school supplies, purchase of medical/hygiene supplies, and school landscaping
project.

Additionally, through the Brigada Eskwela initiative, the school hopes to organize
and unite parents, alumni, civic groups, local businesses, non-governmental
organizations, teachers, students, and volunteers who are willing to donate their
resources for classroom repairs, maintenance work, and other school projects.

IV. Accomplishment

In order to build relationships with external stakeholders, the Brigada Eskwela

2023 got underway prior to the scheduled August 29, 2023, commencement of
classes. To get the school ready for the new school year, a week before to the start
of classes, the instructors organize a clean-up campaign with the help of outside
partners. This time, keeping the classroom and its surroundings clean comes first.
Stakeholders mowed the long Cogon grass that may have served as a haven for
snakes and other wild animals in the dense environment at the rear of the
classroom. Additionally, the instructor set up the classroom by mending some old,
recyclable, and functional decorations and furniture.

V. Best Practices

 Motivating the parent to volunteer for Brigada Eskwela and participate in the
clean-up campaign
 Calling parents to let them know about the aforementioned activities and to
remind them to be included.
IV. Issues and Concern

 Lack of materials and supply of the teachers in classroom repairs.

V. Action Taken

The issue was resolved by requesting assistance from outside parties like the
parents and the local government units. In order to guarantee that the teaching and
learning process will continue, teachers also advise using some personal finances.

VII. Recommendation

It would be preferable if the teachers were given access to all the supplies
required to fix the classroom. Furthermore, it would be fantastic if the instructor
received a dedicated budget for classroom renovations and maintenance.
