THE MINISTRY of Basic, Higher and Technical Education will construct 22 units of two-story building with 10 classrooms each for the learners in Mindanao.

Through its Special Development Fund 2020, MBHTE’s Education Facilities Section  allocated P375,143,953.26 for the construction of 17 buildings for basic education.

“Two buildings will be for the Special Geographic Areas in North Cotabato, four for Maguindanao, three for Lanao del Sur, one for Marawi City, two for Basilan, one for Lamitan City, two for Sulu, and two for Tawi-Tawi,” MBHTE said.

Meanwhile, the five buildings for tertiary education worth P96,521,190.77 will be funded under the General Appropriations Act of the Bangsamoro 2021.

The buildings will be constructed at REMACADEMY in Maguindanao; Unda Memorial National Agricultural, Balagban Trade School, and Lanao Agricultural College, all in Lanao del Sur; and Lapak Agricultural School in Sulu.

The construction of the school buildings for basic education will begin on the fourth quarter this year.
