7. Project Description
Features of 7m x 9m classroom:
 cemented flooring;
 smooth finished (plastered)
walls;
 painted walls, ceiling and
roofing;
 full-cathedral type ceiling;
 complete set of windows;
 two (2) entrances with doors;
 complete electrical wires and
fixtures for areas with electrical
facilities;
 roofing; and
 chalkboards.

8. Inspection Findings/Recommendations
Site identified is not suitable for the
project.
DepED should immediately coordinate with
the LGU of Mankayan, Lepanto Mining, and
the contractor to plan for the immediate
establishment of slope stabilization measures
(structural and vegetative) in the area.
A MOA detailing the specific roles of each
Mankayan Central School
party may be inked for this purpose

9. Mankayan Central School – On going construction

10. Inspection Findings/Recommendations
Bulalacao NHS
School sites have problems in erosion that were not properly or adequately addressed.
National standards set up by the DepED in the School Design Guide is not always
applicable in CAR with its unique topographical and geophysical characteristics.
Clearing, slope protection measures and drainage are important aspects of the project
and costs considerably higher than in the lower-lying regions.
DepED-CAR should make representations with its Central Office to include site
development as an important cost item of projects in the region.

11. Inspection Findings/Recommendations
Bulalacao NHS Surface drainage works should be
immediately carried out to minimize the
infiltration of rain water.
The reduction of storm-water run-off is
essential in controlling slope stability.

12. Bulalacao NHS
Even before the project’s construction
phase, a MOA should be signed between
the DepED, the host LGU, the school
administration, the project contractor
and other concerned party, to make sure
that site development and maintenance
is taken care of.

13. Bangao NHS
DepED-CAR should make representations with its Central Office to include site
development as an important cost item of projects in the region.

14. Inspection Findings/Recommendations
Sinipsip NHS The school buildings constructed had
small cracks in concrete columns, beams,
structural walls and floors; although no
major damage was noted.
Immediately implement (physically and
financially) interventions to address the
issue. Funds should be made available
by the school administration (or DepED)
for the timely and regular maintenance
and repairs to these buildings.
The schools should use resources from
their operating funds to maintain school
infrastructure, rather than rely on
capital funds.
The responsibility of maintaining and
repairing the school buildings and
facilities thereat should also be spelled
out in the MOA to be signed.

15. Broken windows and doors in some of
the constructed buildings were also
noted.
The constructed school buildings should
have window grills and other security
measures to prevent unlawful entry and
ensure the security and safety of the
students and staff, school properties,
facilities and equipment.
