The eradication of conflicts in far-flung communities prompted the increasing population of school children province-wide. Even in the middle of the pandemic, PLGU-Davao de Oro strongly supports the Department of Education in providing quality education for the younger generation.
On September 24, 2021, the provincial government headed by Governor Jayvee Tyron L. Uy officially handed the newly built school amenities to Tagugpo Elementary School, and National High School in Pantukan.
Tagugpo Elementary School officially received the new Teacher’s Cottage, while Tagugpo National High School received the multi-purpose covered court. These infrastructure projects were funded by the provincial government and was made possible thru the initiatives of the officials.
The blessing and ceremonial turn-over were attended by Governor Tyron Uy, Mayor Roberto M. Yugo of Pantukan, Brgy. Captain Ulyses B. Alcosero of Tagugpo with his Brgy. officials, and functionaries, and the teachers and staff of the primary and secondary school.
“Priority nato ang mga lagyo nga lugar ilabi napod nga kinhanglan gyud sa mga teachers ug kalidad nga kasilungan o teacher's cottage. That's why naka decide mi sa probinsya nga magpa buhat ug mga teacher's cottage alang sa atung mga magtutudlo. Education is very important, maskin pa anaa kita sa pandemya, dili gyud nato kalimtan nga supportahan atung mga kabataan kutob sa atung makaya kay kami sa gobyerno, andam perme mutabang.” said Governor Uy.
PLGU-DdO plans to establish more cottages for the teachers assigned in rural communities. Around 21 school sites will be given with teacher’s cottage, identified first by DepEd.
