2026 Brigada Eskwela Theme
“Bayanihan sa Paaralan: Nagkakaisa para sa Kaayusan at Kaalaman”
The 2026 theme highlights the power of collective action to strengthen both learning and school environments. This year, the initiative emphasizes enhancing school infrastracture alongside literacy development encouraging communities nationwide to safer, more functional, and more inspiring learning spaces.
Summary of Brigada Eskwela 2026 Guidelines
1. Facilities Assessment and Literacy Readiness
Before this activity, schools must evaluate their physical condition and reading support areas like libraries, reading nooks, and shelves. They are also encouraged to assess learners’ reading readiness for targeted interventions.
2. Strict No Solicitation Policy
All forms of solicitation from parents, guardians, or stakeholders are strictly prohibited. This activity is based on voluntary contributions only.
3. Ethical Partnerships
Schools are reminded not to accept support from industries that conflict with DepEd values (e.g., tobacco, breast milk substitutes, alcohol). This maintains a healthy, safe learning environment.
4. Formation of Working Committees
Schools must form a working committee led by the school head, teachers, PTA officers, and optionally parents, learners, and community members. Their tasks include:
- Conducting awareness campaigns
- Mobilizing resources (books, kits, volunteers)
- Securing MOAs/MOUs with partners
- Ensuring no compulsory participation or incentive-based parent involvement
