🧼 Maintaining Clean, Clutter-Free School Environments
Beyond the week of volunteerism, cleanliness and order must be sustained. Schools are reminded to:
-
Remove oversized signage, tarpaulins, and any materials with commercial endorsements, per DO 37, s. 2010
-
Keep walls bare and free of posters or decorations
-
Ensure classrooms are not used as storage rooms, maintaining spaces conducive to learning
This promotes aesthetic discipline and compliance with policies geared toward creating an optimal environment for education.

The heart of Brigada Eskwela 2025 is volunteerism, community participation, and preparedness. It’s more than a week of work—it’s a nationwide affirmation that every child deserves a clean, organized, and safe place to learn.
Together, through bayanihan, we can make every school ready to welcome learners with dignity, pride, and hope.
