|The Freeman
The board allocated P100 million for a school feeding program aimed at improving the nutritional status of students throughout the province.
-
Christopher Baricuatro, secretary of the CPSB, said the board is already coordinating with the Provincial Nutrition Action Officer to ensure the program is implemented efficiently.
“We are coordinating with the Provincial Nutrition Action Officer to come up with an implementation strategy for the feeding program that will not place an undue burden on teachers and parents,” Baricuatro said.
Another P100 million has been earmarked for the construction of additional smart classrooms, further strengthening one of the provincial government’s flagship education projects.
Baricuatro said the new allocation will augment the P700 million previously set aside for the smart classroom initiative.
