Standard classrooms used as instructional rooms

- academic classrooms
- science laboratories
- computer laboratories
- H.E./I.A. rooms

Not included:
- Non-standard/makeshift classrooms
- Any room used as non-instructional rooms
 DETERMINATION OF CLASSROOM NEEDS
A. Determine Actual Classroom Needs for SY 2016 by school
1. Requirements per Grade/Level = Enrolment of School by given Grade/level divided by (lower)
norm/standards
2. Total Requirements of the school = summation of all grade/year level requirements
3. Needs/Excess = Existing inventory of classroom including number of newly constructed
classrooms less Total Requirements

B. Estimate the Additional Requirements due to Enrolment Increase from SY 2016 to SY 2022
1. Additional Enrolment = SY 2022 enrolment– SY 2016 actual enrolment of the Division
2. Additional Requirements of the Division = Additional Enrolment of the division by given Grade/level
divided by (lower) norm/standards (if the remaining number is greater than 5 except for multigrade,
additional classroom shall be provided)

C. Get the Summation of Needs (A.3) and additional requirements (B.2) less programmed
constructions until 2017 divided 3 as 2018 requirements of the Division

Source of Data: Enrolment and inventory figures must always come from the LIS and
EBEIS. Allocation must come from official allocation list provided to the division by EFD.
