As we all know, most of the learners in any places of our country belong to poor families

and have greater possibility of dropping out in their basic education just because of

hunger and malnutrition in school and besides, by helping their parents to earn a living.

Furthermore, the health and nutrition of these learners are crucial factor affecting their

academic performance. Hence, our government must do something in order to address

this immortal educational issue once and for all.

For this reason, let us educate the learners the methods of sustainable production of

food such as vegetable production and consumption which are applicable to their

homes and important for household security. Furthermore, this will also teach them with

the following;

improving nutritional status

learning where food comes from

promoting beautification

watershed education

producing food

stimulating creativity

encouraging leadership & service

changing family home food habits

As a matter of fact, these livelihood skills that the learners will acquire from the school

can also be applied and replicated in their respective households. Thus, by making

foods more accessible to all schools that will certainly improve the health and nutritional

status of the learners through this sustainable School Feeding Program, our

government can better ensure their success.

One of the thrusts of the Department of Education [DepEd] is to strengthen and intensify

the implementation of the Gulayan sa Paaralan Project [GPP] in all public elementary

and secondary schools to serve as food basket and have a ready source of vegetables

for the schools' supplementary feeding program. According to the report of the Nutrition

and Health Council, hunger and malnutrition are two main problems that really affect

19% or 3, 268, 000 families out of the 17, 400, 000 families / households in the country

due to lack of food to eat or money to buy food.

Meanwhile, our government is now strengthening the implementation of school –

community food production under this program which shall be tied up with other concern

agencies that seeks to;

a. raise the level of public consciousness on the health and nutritional

dimensions as well as economic benefits of establishing school, households

and community garden.

b. establish school gardens to serve as the food basket / main source to sustain

supplementary feeding.

c. intensify the production and consumption of vegetables and fruits.

d. showcase small-scale food production models in schools for the

household/community to replicate purposely to promote family and food

security.

e. Inculcate among the school learners the values of good health and nutrition,

industry, love of labor and caring for others.

The Gulayan sa Paaralan Project shall be implemented in all public elementary and

secondary schools with ample and limited areas within the municipality of Tagbina using

the organic gardening technologies like bio-intensive gardening. The said schools will

be provided with gardening tools and vegetable seedlings. In line with this program, a

GPP Task Force or Committee will be the one to conduct the advocacy, orientation, and

distributions of materials, monitoring and evaluation. There must be a seminar –

workshop that will be conducted prior to the distribution of gardening tools and

vegetables seedlings to ensure that everything is in accordance with the scope of this

program and above all, for effective implementation.

The school administrators / school heads of both elementary and secondary public

schools within the municipality of Tagbina, including their respective teachers, School

PTA Officers and Members, School Governing Council Members, Barangay Council

Members or Sitio Officials as part of their moral obligation must spearhead in the

implementation of this program, Gulayan sa Paaralan Project [GPP]. The source of

funds of this program must come from the National Government (85%) and Local

Government (15%) as part of the Poverty and Hunger Alleviation Program of the

government.

Finally, it is expected that the school administrators involved in this program must

submit a quarterly narrative reports for this program to the GPP Task Force and to their

respective schools district or cluster nurses which eventually, be forwarded also to the

Office of the DepEd - Secretary Attn: Health and Nutrition Center, DepEd Complex,

Pasig City.
