LEGAZPI CITY — Sixty-one students at Burgos Elementary School in Daraga town, Albay province, will transition to proper classrooms following the inauguration of a new two-room building on Friday. The facility, constructed at a cost of P9.65 million, represents a significant infrastructure upgrade for the outlying village community.
The learners have long relied on makeshift learning spaces, conducting classes on the school's stage and covered court due to limited classroom capacity. The new structure will provide dedicated instructional areas and alleviate the chronic space shortage affecting the institution.
The Department of Public Works oversaw the construction project, prioritizing educational infrastructure development in remote areas. The completion of the facility underscores ongoing government efforts to improve classroom accessibility for students in provincial communities.
Education officials in the region have prioritized closing infrastructure gaps in outlying municipalities, where many schools operate below standard capacity levels. The Burgos Elementary School project marks another step toward ensuring adequate learning environments across Albay's more remote settlements.
