NARRATIVE REPORT
August 14-19, 2023

As specified on DepEd Memorandum No. 21 s.2023 and reinforced by DepEd

Division Memorandum, No. 0290 s. 2023, Brigada Eskwela champions the spirit of
volunteerism. It is not only the program of DepEd but also that of education stakeholders. In
light of the current learning recovery situation, this year’s Brigada Eskwela with its theme,
“Bayanihan Para sa Matatag na Paaralan” waving the slogan “Unity in Partnership” shall
ensure that support for the provision of learning opportunities while securing that the health,
safety, and well-being of learners, teachers, and personnel are protected. It shall play an
important mechanism to enable schools to catch up with the expectations for in-person
learning delivery modality. The guidelines specified that all classrooms are bare from any
obstruction and have conducive learning environtment

Brigada Eskwela bounced back from the traditional concept of physical cleaning,
painting, repainting, and doing minor repairs in schools and prioritized preparations and
strengthening partnership engagement to ensure that quality basic education was continued
despite the continuous challenges in the department.

Stakeholders supported the initiative by partnerships of materials and usual activities

such physical cleaning, painting, repainting, and doing major and minor repairs in schools to
aid BE and OBE in introducing protection and health protocols and ensuring safety and child
friendly environment to learners, parents, and teachers.

The Capalayan Elementary School opened a Brigada Kick-Off-Ceremonies named

“2023 Day-as Brigadahan nan Katawhan sa Kaandaman nan Pag-Eskuyla” following the
guidelines of DO No. 21 s. 2023 and participated by our LGU-Barangay, GPTA, and
Stakeholders. A motorcade through a bandilyo was conducted to strengthen the
implementation of Brigada Eskwela. A short program followed emphasizing The In-Person
Recovery Education for All, BE guidelines and voluntary services as mentioned. The
mechanics of the Brigada Eskwela relative to Learning Recovery situation, the different
working committees, the daily activities, the areas of concern to clean, the facilities that need
minor repair and a building to construct were fully oriented by the school administrator.
Right after the program, everyone finds his/her place and actively do the tasks.
