Cmdr. Bara Jalaidi PS Needs Immediate Renovation

Marjin J. Madjirul, Kindergarten Teacher

Cmdr. Bara Jalaidi Primary School is opening Kindergarten to Grade 3 Classes since the advent of first day of classes resumed last June 13, 2016. Unfortunately, classes are not formally held inside the classroom. It is conducted in many canopies of the local residents of Barangay Karawan. The old 2-classroom school building constructed last 2000 still suffers from roofless because of lack of timbers for trushes, purlins and many other materials to shelter the school children from the heat of the sun and rain. Hon. Aksan Maksan, the Barangay Chairman already advised the TIC and teachers to get the rough estimation of the needed materials. However, acquisition of those materials does not yet come to effect. It is, perhaps, due to delayed arrival of the barangay IRA (Internal Revenue Allocation).
