PPSTA Joins Forces with DepEd for “Kaisa sa Brigada Eskwela” Initiative
The Philippine Public School Teachers Association (PPSTA) proudly partnered with the Department of Education (DepEd) in supporting the nationwide “Kaisa sa Brigada Eskwela” campaign, a collaborative effort to prepare public schools for the new academic year. This annual initiative brings together educators, parents, local governments, and community volunteers to ensure that schools are ready to welcome students in clean, safe, and conducive learning environments.
Strengthening the Spirit of Bayanihan in Education
As part of its longstanding commitment to public school teachers and the educational community, PPSTA embraced the opportunity to actively participate in the “Kaisa sa Brigada Eskwela” program. With a focus on promoting the bayanihan spirit, PPSTA helped mobilize volunteers and resources to assist in the repair, maintenance, and beautification of public schools across the country.
“Brigada Eskwela is a powerful testament to the shared responsibility we all have in supporting our schools,” said Mr. Bong Arante, PPSTA’s Head, Marketing Department. “By working hand-in-hand with DepEd and local communities, we can ensure that every student and teacher returns to a well-prepared school that fosters learning and growth.”
Providing Essential Support for Schools
During the “Kaisa sa Brigada Eskwela” campaign, PPSTA extended its support by donating vital materials such as cleaning supplies, paint, construction tools, and other equipment needed for school repairs and improvements. Additionally, PPSTA employees and volunteers worked alongside teachers, students, and parents to help with tasks like painting classrooms, repairing school furniture, and cleaning school grounds.
Empowering Teachers and Communities
For PPSTA, “Kaisa sa Brigada Eskwela” is more than just a clean-up and repair effort—it’s an opportunity to empower public school teachers by supporting the spaces where they work. By improving school facilities, PPSTA helps create a positive atmosphere where teachers can focus on delivering quality education to their students.
“As an organization that advocates for the welfare of public school teachers, we understand how a well-maintained school environment can boost the morale of both educators and learners,” added Mr. Bong Arante. “Through our participation in Brigada Eskwela, we aim to reinforce the importance of collaboration and community involvement in the success of our education system.”
Looking Ahead
PPSTA remains steadfast in its mission to advocate for the welfare and professional growth of public school teachers. By participating in initiatives like “Kaisa sa Brigada Eskwela,” the association not only contributes to the improvement of school facilities but also strengthens its bond with the teaching community and other stakeholders.
As the new school year approaches, PPSTA reaffirms its commitment to supporting teachers, students, and the broader educational system through continued involvement in programs that promote quality education. The association encourages its members and the public to actively participate in future Brigada Eskwela activities and other community-driven initiatives aimed at enhancing the public school experience.
