CALBAYOG CITY – The Department of Public Works and Highways Samar First District Engineering Office (SFDEO) completes a 3-storey, 6-classroom school building in Matobato Elementary School.

The school building costs P14 million and has provisions for a PWD-accessible ramp, fire exit, and comfort rooms on all floors.

The school has seen a continued increase in their enrolment data over the past few years. The existing buildings are not enough to hold more students – with limited space their ability to learn is greatly affected.

According to Ms. Cynthia Tarrayo, the school principal, the building will accommodate approximately 360 incoming Grade 2, 3 and 4 pupils. It will be officially opened for use when classes start on June 3, 2019.

This project is implemented by SFDEO under its convergence program with the Department of Education.
