MANILA, Philippines— Education Secretary Sonny Angara inspected public schools on Thursday in the Negros Island Region (NIR) to evaluate campus safety protocols, assess facility conditions, and engage directly with students and teachers, according to a Department of Education (DepEd) statement.
Among the stops Angara made were at Bais City National High School, the largest secondary school in the city, and Basay Central School, one of the oldest public elementary schools in Bayawan City.
He made the Negros visit following recent campus security incidents, including the tragic shooting at the Ateneo de Zamboanga University Junior High School campus on Aug. 18.
Angara held dialogues with school administrators, teachers, and student representatives to hear firsthand their security concerns and psychosocial support needs.
