Brigada Eskwela is one on UM’s community service projects under the Adopt-a-School program. launched by the Philippine Government. The said program saved the DepEd P5.7 billion in repair costs during AY 2008, Jesli Lapus (the Education Secretary) said. The CSG of the Nursing Department supports the ideals of the UM Community Extension Services Office that recognizes education not just as the sole responsibility of schools but of all communities as well. The community spirit behind the program encourages parents and the private sector to look at the state of public schools and do their share in making these more conducive to younger generation’s education.
