Farida Hadjali, 8, Grade I student at Magsaysay Elementary School in Lamitan, Basilan was elated to have received recently her school bag containing assorted school supplies. She was among the 1,720 students in Basilan and Maguindanao being assisted by Project Escuelas.
School children in Basilan and Maguindanao have endured difficult situations brought by poverty and recurring conflict just to go to school. At the height of the Abu Sayyaf’s siege of Lamitan years back, Magsaysay Elementary School and other schools in the poblacion were closed down, forcing traumatized students to stay at home. Maguindanao’s protracted violence also marginalized school kids, some dropping out of school in the process.Implemented by the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), Project Escuelas seeks to give Farida and the other kids, opportunities to improve academic performance by providing them educational support, learning facilities and textbooks among others.
In Basilan, three schools have received assistance from Project Escuelas. These are Mabini Elementary School, B. Aldana Central Elementary School and Magsaysay Elementary School all in Lamitan. Three other public schools in Maguindanao were assisted by Project Escuelas namely: Katil Elementary School, Malala Elementary School and Datu Saililla Elementary School.
