A Feasibility Study Establishing A Public Secondary School in Purok Unity, Barangay Tamisan, City of Mati, Davao Oriental
INTRODUCTION
Rationale
the mandate of protecting and promoting the right of access to quality education. This also
adhered to abide the advocacy of the country to Education for All (EFA) spearheaded by
campaigns realization.
Barangay Tamisan is one of many barangays that enjoyed this substantial program of
the country. In fact, there were already two (2) primary schools built within the
barangay.With such, many parents were able to send their children to primary schools.
Barangay Tamisan is one of the twenty-six (26) barangays of the City of Mati. As of
latest available data, Barangay Tamisan is located at the southern part of the City. It is
surrounded by the barangays namely: Brgy. Lawigan (south) 10.0 Km, Brgy. Dahican
(North) 15.0 km, and Brgy. Bobon ( East) 4.7 km. It is bounded by the sea on the western
plank. The residents of Barangay Tamisan mostly rely on agriculture as a source of income.
Barangay Tamisan has a total population of 3091 a large percentage of which is
comprised of school-age population. It has two (2) primary schools namely: Tamisan
Elementary School (with 210 populations of pupils) and Taganilao Elementary School (with
200 populations of pupils) as of latest count. These are elementary schools in the barangay
which annually churn out graduates who have no available recourse for free secondary
education within their community due to absent of public secondary high schools in the said
locality.
There are those who after graduated the elementary studies, had then decided not to
pursue studying secondary level for the reason that they cant readily afford the expenses if
they will enroll in the other barangays. In fact enrolling in high schools located in other
barangays entail bigger daily overhead expenses which may bleed dry their meager finances
specially that those high schools were kilometers apart from their place. Except to those
parents who were financially able which really forced to enroll their children to public high
schools in other barangays making sure their children could continue their education. Not to
Establishing National High Schools in the locality is of great help to the people living
in it. For this would address their problems pertaining to the education of their children.
Having such school would indeed address the access, equity, quality, relevance and
sustainability concerns of the students. This would take in hand the advocacy of the country
since everyone could attend secondary study at all and complete the entire basic education.
This would then positively affect the economic condition of the families. Most of all, it will
help students avoid any circumstances that studying in distanced places may bring to them.
