A national failure in classroom construction
Manila Bulletin
|October 27, 2025
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has delivered a performance so dismal, it borders on the absurd.
-
Out of 1,700 classrooms targeted for completion this year, only 22 have been finished. That’s not a typo—it’s a completion rate of just 1.29 percent. With less than three months left in the year, and the holiday season fast approaching, the odds of meeting the target are virtually nonexistent.
This is not just a bureaucratic misstep. It is a betrayal of our children’s right to quality education.
