NARRATIVE REPORT ON GPP ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN

Every year, the Division of Surigao del Sur is searching for the best implementers
of the Gulayan sa Paaralan Program to establish and promote agricultural arts program.
This program aims to improve and increase vegetable production and consumption of
food which are applicable to their homes and important for their household security. It also
aims to establish school gardens to serve as main source of food to sustain
supplementary feeding. It also showcase small-scale production models in schools to be
replicated in the household. And we all know, most of the learners in any places of our
country belong to poor families and have greater possibility of dropping out in their basic
education just because of hunger and malnutrition in school and besides helping their
parents to earn a living.

Thus, “Gulayan sa Paaralan” also conducted some activities by year level from
grade 7 to 12 to help students understand more the importance of vegetables in our body
