The Department of Education (DepEd) on Friday announced it has strengthened its project monitoring framework as it partners with 168 local government units (LGUs) to construct classrooms nationwide, BusinessWorld reported.
Education Secretary Sonny Angara said the department is working to ensure these classrooms are built with efficiency and transparency, describing classroom infrastructure as “the bedrock of a quality learning environment.” The enhanced monitoring system aims to track project timelines and address bottlenecks in real time.
The move is part of the government’s broader push to reduce classroom shortages and improve education infrastructure across the country, with the Department of Public Works and Highways also involved in the construction efforts.
