Housing provided, but schools for settlers’ children often overlooked

The article discusses the issue of inadequate school facilities in housing projects managed by the National Housing Authority (NHA), leading to overcrowded classrooms and poor educational quality. During a Senate hearing, EDCOM 2 Executive Director Karol Mark Yee highlighted that 58 NHA housing projects across several regions lack planned education facilities, affecting over 167,000 residents. These projects, particularly in Naic, Cavite, have resulted in a significant student population exceeding the capacity of existing schools. Despite efforts since 2024 and a memorandum of understanding signed in 2025, the problem persists due to delayed government action. The Department of Education (DepEd) and DHSUD were urged to address the funding and planning gaps to ensure adequate classroom spaces for students.
