Classroom donation of Yaokasin family of great help – Div. Superintendent Magan

TACLOBAN CITY – The classrooms that the family of Councilor Jerry “Sambo” Yaokasin donated to the education sector is of great help to address the needs of additional classroom in the city, this according to Tacloban city school division superintendent Marissa Magan.

The Yaokasin family through the help of the Filipino Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Incorporated and the Tacloban Federation of Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry selected the V&G de la Cruz Memorial School as recipients to some classroom buildings that the family donated and was turned over last week.

The building with two classrooms is equipped with ceiling fan and two comfort rooms per classroom built at a cost P400, 000.

According to Magan, a lot of public schools in the city have not yet meet the ideal ratio of students to classroom needs.

“The ideal ratio of students to the classroom is still a problem, which we in the agency can’t address,” said Magan.

“That is why we are tapping private and business sectors to help us in looking for solution to this problem,” Magan added.“This donation of the Yaokasin family will surely address the needs of this school, and I hope that the private sector continues to help us in finding solution to this problem,” Magan added.

Aside from the ideal ratio of students to classrooms, Magan added that ratio of teacher to students needs also to be address.
