ORMOC CITY-The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte 4th District Engineering Office (DEO) constructs a four-storey school building at San Isidro Integrated School in Ormoc City as part of the local government’s continuing push to improve access to quality education.

The reinforced concrete school building holds 12 classrooms and eight comfort rooms – two on each floor – and has a contract amount of Php 29,099,999.98 sourced from the General Appropriations Act (GAA) 2023.

Utilized by around 250 students from Grade 7 – 10, the facility helps reduce classroom congestion which allows for smaller class sizes that promote better teacher-student interaction and more effective learning.

“Overall, this project serves as an important asset to the people of Brgy. San Isidro as it enables them to develop a stronger foundation for learning and growth,” said District Engineer Rosita A. Tinawin. “It provides the young citizens in the community and nearby areas with the necessary resources to attain future educational success.” (PR)
