Brigada Eskwela is an annual program in the Philippines aimed at preparing public schools for the upcoming academic year. It encourages community involvement, where parents, teachers, and local organizations come together to clean, repair, and improve school facilities. This initiative fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility among community members. The program typically takes place in May, before the school year starts. Volunteers participate in various activities, such as painting classrooms, fixing furniture, and landscaping. Brigada Eskwela not only enhances the learning environment but also strengthens the partnership between schools and the community, promoting a collaborative spirit.
