Leyte, Rizal, Sorsogon schools get upgrade
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. signed four new laws to improve educational access in Leyte, Rizal, and Sorsogon.
These laws establish two new national high schools: Doos del Norte National High School in Hindang, Leyte, and Tanay National Science High School in Rizal.
The Tanay school will focus on specialized science education to accommodate growing student populations.
Additionally, two elementary schools in Sorsogon were converted into integrated institutions: Alegria Elementary School in Barcelona to Alegria Integrated School, and Patag Elementary School in Irosin to Patag Integrated School.
The conversion allows these schools to offer both elementary and secondary education, facilitating a smoother learning transition.
The new laws also mandate the transfer of personnel, assets, and records to the new institutions.
The Department of Education is tasked with implementing the laws and creating necessary rules within 90 days.
Funding for these schools will come from the annual General Appropriations Act.
