To further co-create a safe learning environment, CitySavings will also help with the maintenance and repair of handwashing facilities, comfort rooms, and classroom facilities.

During the national kick-off, Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte expressed her appreciation to all education stakeholders for ensuring the safety of
students and teachers as they return to in-person classes.

In a press statement released by DepEd, Vice President Duterte mentioned “With the
national government supporting DepEd with the Basic Education Development Plan 2030 serving as our guide, the success of the Department’s plans and programs shall now be completed by undying love for the profession of teaching Filipino children, our children, the future of our nation”.

The Bank and its team members have actively supported and volunteered at Brigada
Eskwela activities since 2010.
