SPECIAL EDUCATION FUND

The Special Education Fund (SEF) was used in the repair and improvement of various schools, both secondary and elementary.  Major improvements were conducted on the various billeting schools for EVRAA 2012.  Most of these funds were used to repair classrooms and pay the honoraria of city-paid teachers.  

The Ibarra National High School was established mostly out of city funds.  These include the school buildings and city paid teachers.  This coming March the first batch of graduates will receive their diplomas.

Maasin City College has an enrolment of 1,103 students distributed among the four courses Bachelor of Science in Public Administration and Bachelor of Science in Social Work both with government recognitions and Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and Bachelor of Science in Tourism, both with CHED permits. 

Last March 2011 we had the 1st Commencement Exercises with 124 graduates of BS Public Administration and 31 graduates of BS Agriculture.  The 2nd Commencement Exercises was held on November 2011 with no less than CHED Regional Director Libertad Garcia as Guest Speaker.  There were 41 graduates of BS Public Administration and 15 graduates of BS Agriculture and 26 in Associate in Agriculture.

The CHED issued government recognition for BS Public Administration and BS Social Work and permits for BS Agriculture and BS Tourism.        

The BS Agriculture course is now assisted by the University of Eastern Philippines while the BS Tourism course is assisted by the University of the Visayas.  We have now a course in Master of Science in Public Administration at the MCC in coordination with the Graduate School of the University of the Visayas. 

An amount of P6 million was used to improve the facilities including classrooms and offices.  While last year an appropriation of about P9 million was used for the salaries of teachers and staff, equipments and office and school supplies.
