Gov't and private sector pitch in to build over 12,000 classrooms | The Manila Bulletin Newspaper Online: "Six months after the DepEd signed a memorandum of agreement with municipal, city and provincial government units for the construction of classrooms under the 50/50 counter-parting scheme, a total of 1,054 classrooms have been committed for completion within the school year worth over P800 million.
Education Secretary Armin Luistro said some P1B worth of classrooms is up for signing in the weeks ahead.
Based on DepEd figures the number of classroom backlog runs up to 66,800 units based on student population for school year 2010-2011.
From the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), another 1,000 units of fully-equipped classrooms are up for turn-over to DepEd by December 2012.
Based on its 2011 actual budget allocation of some P8 billion for classroom construction, DepEd can only build a maximum of 10,000 classrooms per year.
