GULAYAN SA PAARALAN
The Department of Education required every school to put up a productive ad successful vegetable garden under

the Gulayan sa Paaralan Program GPP. This program is part of a national effort to ensure the development and nutrition

among Filipino students by providing the needed vegetables for the school feeding program and to ensure the quality of

education by surpassing malnutrition among students. GPP aims to establish school gardens to serve as the main

source of food to sustain supplementary feeding.

Most of the learners in any place of our country belong to indigent families and have a greater possibility of dropping

out of their basic education just because of hunger and malnutrition in school and from helping their parents earn a

living.

GPP is one of the activities that is very crucial to make our vegetables free from destruction and make it a point that

pupils understand the importance of vegetables in our bodies. As part of the project of JHS that aims to improve the

skills of the learners in the field of Agriculture. Utilizing a school garden for the supplementary feeding program can be a

tool for aiding the major cause of why learners drop out of school.

Cubamba Gahol Integrated School JHS made a plot garden, starting by digging the soil and putting some bottles

around the plot up to the main course of putting seeds in the soil. Although a warm climate can be a hindrance for the

learners to pursue what they have started, they continue doing the task until it was completed. Aside from implementing

school gardening for the purpose of feeding programs, it inculcates among learners the value of good health, nutrition,

industry love of labor, and caring for others, planting is one of the livelihood skills that learners will acquire in school that

can be applied and replicated in their respective households. At the end of the planting session, we can see the

contentment on the faces of the learners although they felt fatigued from digging and completing the task.

The day after tomorrow we have seen sprout from the seeds that were being put in the plot. Everyone is excited and

joyful upon seeing the outcome of what they have labored. The learners not only learned how to reproduce vegetables

but they were encouraged to eat green and leafy vegetables as well.
