Manila Bulletin

The Department of Education (DepEd) on Thursday, Oct. 30, said it is exploring the leasing of closed private schools and other idle properties to help ease the country’s classroom shortage, which reached 165,000 classrooms nationwide in 2022.

- BY MERLINA HERNANDO-MALIPOT

In partnership with the Student First Coalition (SFC), DepEd said in a statement that it recently conducted a Classroom Market Scoping Activity to assess the feasibility of leasing arrangements.

The initiative brought together key real estate developers, government agencies, and property management firms to identify available spaces and discuss partnership models for scalable, cost-efficient classroom leasing.
