In a significant move to improve educational access across Davao City, Liga ng mga Barangay President January Duterte has officially turned over brand-new school service vehicles to nine barangays during a ceremony held on January 26.
Enhancing Community Education Infrastructure
The vehicle distribution represents a concrete step toward addressing transportation challenges faced by students in these communities. Each barangay received a dedicated school service vehicle that will serve as a reliable mode of transportation for students traveling to and from educational institutions.
January Duterte emphasized that this initiative aligns with the local government's commitment to supporting education at the grassroots level. "These vehicles will help ensure that our students can attend school regularly without transportation being a barrier to their education," Duterte stated during the turnover ceremony.
Comprehensive Barangay Support
The recipient barangays include both urban and rural communities within Davao City, demonstrating the widespread impact of this educational support program. The initiative specifically targets areas where transportation access has been identified as a significant challenge for students and their families.
Beyond the immediate transportation benefits, the program is expected to:
- Reduce student absenteeism due to transportation issues
- Decrease transportation costs for families
- Improve student punctuality and academic performance
- Enhance community involvement in education
Continuing Educational Advocacy
This latest initiative builds upon previous educational support programs championed by the local government. The school service vehicle distribution underscores the ongoing commitment to removing barriers to education and investing in the future of Davao's youth.
Community leaders from the recipient barangays expressed gratitude for the support, noting that the vehicles will make a tangible difference in the daily lives of students and their educational journey.
The successful implementation of this program highlights the effective collaboration between the Liga ng mga Barangay and local government units in addressing practical challenges facing Davao's educational sector.
