According to Nueva Ecija 1st OIC-District Engineer Jun Vana, the P4.95-million structure—funded through the Department of Education’s (DepEd) Basic Education Facilities Fund (BEFF)—features play areas to enhance early childhood learning, a ramp for persons with disabilities (PWDs), and a handwashing station with 10 faucets to promote hygiene.

 

 

“The new facility supports a better learning environment for 50 kindergarten pupils, helping improve their focus and participation in class,” Vana said.

 

SIES Principal Maricel Sagat shared that the previous classrooms were rendered unsafe due to termite infestation, structural damage, and vulnerability to flooding—issues that worsened during the pandemic, leading to the closure and evacuation of the affected rooms.

 

 

“Talagang conducive to learning po itong dalawang building dahil mayroon po silang play area at mas malaki po ang mga silid dito kumpara sa dati nilang classroom, lalo na’t naka-house po dito ngayon ay mga kinder pupils,” Sagat expressed.

 

 

The new classrooms not only address the school’s urgent infrastructure issues, but also support its mission to provide a safer, more engaging, and higher-quality early childhood education for its growing student population.
