    The document discusses the problem of overcrowding in public schools in Mandaue City due to a lack of classrooms. Specifically, it notes that a Grade 7 student attends a class of 68 students in their school, which holds half-day classes with around 1,000 students total due to limited space. It also notes that the Department of Education acknowledges the ongoing issue of not having enough classrooms in public schools, but attributes this to a lack of buildable space rather than funds. The researchers propose retrofitting an existing two-story building into a four-story building as a solution to provide more classrooms while conserving land area and reducing government expenses.

    CHAPTER I

    THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

    1.1 Rationale of the Study

    A Grade 7 student, attends a class of 68 in a public junior high school in Mandaue City.

    The school where Student goes to only holds half-day classes to accommodate the

    close to a thousand students from Grades 7 to 10.

    Grades 9 and 10 students attend class at 6:30 a.m. until 12 noon.

    The students will have to completely vacate the classrooms by 12:15 p.m. to make way

    for the Grade 7 and 8 students who will hold class in the same classrooms until 5:45

    p.m.

    The Department of Education in Central Visayas (DepEd-7) admits that the lack of

    classrooms in public schools is still prevalent.

    But Dr. Juliet Jeruta, DepEd-7 regional director, said that the lack of classrooms is not

    because of lack of funds but due to the absence of buildable space.

    Jeruta said that schools, particularly in the cities, have very little space left, making it

    difficult to build additional classrooms and cope with the increasing number of students.

    Based on the DepEd-7 data, 4,479 classrooms have been approved for construction

    since 2016. Of this number, however, only 329 classrooms have been completed, while

    the construction of some 2,322 classrooms still on hold.


    Projects for over 400 classrooms have not been started while the funds for 56

    classrooms projects in the region had reverted to the government’s

    coffers.

    In MCCNHS also known as Mandaue City Comprehensive National High School, high

    school levels have their half days due to the large amount of student but don’t have

    enough classrooms. Therefore, the faculty and school don’t have choice and have this

    kind of set-up. Moreover, this set-up isn’t good enough because it’s not an easy way for

    students to study with less than a week's time.

    The solution of this problem was not only in regards to money but also to find ways to

    limit and save land to build the said building. The researchers were deeply concerned

    about the increasing population of students nowadays and on how would the students

    be able to be educated properly when the classrooms can’t even accommodate all of

    them in public schools? This is one of the major problem the city have. Because of this

    scenario, the researchers are planning to retrofitting the existing building. Due to the

    fact that the school were overpopulated and a two storey building are not enough to

    accommodate the students. The researchers would like to propose a solution of a four-

    storey building to have a more space and additional classrooms. The researcher thinks

    that this is a relevant way to conserve land area and to lessen the expenses to the

    government.
