A shortage in classrooms and lack of teachers were among the challenges faced by several schools as classes for School Year 2022-2023 opened on Monday.
At the Batasan Hills National High School in Quezon City, classes were divided into two shifts — from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.; and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. — to cater to their over 19,500 students, according to a report by James Agustin on GMA News' Unang Balita.Partitions were also installed in several classrooms to halve them into two to address the classroom shortage.
Meanwhile, Bagong Silang Elementary School principal Dr. Ofelia Naguit said some of their classrooms were broken, but were eventually fixed with the help of Brigada Eskwela. “Actually, meron talagang [nasira pero] minimal naman, hindi major. Maraming mga nasira but it was solved sa tulong ng pagbi-Brigada Eskwela namin,” she said in a report by Ivan Mayrina on Unang Balita.Naguit said that only their Grade 1 students, of all the 6,500 enrollees, need to implement shifting of classes. More teachers were also hired to accommodate the increased number of students.
