CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Rationale
Education is an essential part of our existence which is why approximately 23 million of the Philippines’ population today is enrolled in elementary and secondary education. Of the 23 million, around 20 million are students of public schools while the rest, about 3 million, are enrolled in private schools. With the recent implementation last June 4, 2012 of the K-12 educational system, this number will increase exponentially in the years to come. A public school refers to all state-owned schools, colleges and universities (House Bill No. 1512 “Public School Security Act of 2012”).
Due to the expected rise in the number of enrolees because of the new educational system, the government has increased the 2013 DepEd budget by 22.6 percent to P292.7 billion, from P238.8 billion this year, to cater to the needs of public schools and to help them be as competitive as the private ones. In particular, funding for the Basic Educational Facilities and the School Building Program is increased by more than 50 percent – from P17.4 billion this year to P26.3 billion in 2013 (2013 Budget Message of President Aquino). To complement all the improvements, the government will construct 90,461 water and sanitation facilities to address the largest single environmental headache for schools which is waste.
Environmental health is one of the main
