The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has completed significant infrastructure upgrades at Baler Central School (BCS) in Aurora, including the construction of new school buildings and the rehabilitation of the existing covered court.

The project, aimed at improving the school’s infrastructure, will provide enhanced facilities for both students and teachers. DPWH Aurora District Engineer Roderick Andal shared that a total of P49 million was allocated for the development of a two-story, eight-classroom building, a one-story, three-classroom building, and the retrofitting of the covered court to meet modern standards.

“The new facilities now offer improved learning spaces that support both educational and recreational activities for students and teachers,” Andal said.

The project also introduced several new amenities, such as a 150-square-meter function hall, a viewing stand with a stage, a public toilet, a 250-meter drainage canal, a water system, a new flagpole, parking area, and a playground, all designed to improve the school’s facilities and benefit the surrounding community.

These upgrades ensure that Baler Central School is better equipped to support the educational needs of its students and foster a more engaging learning environment. (PIA Region 3-Aurora)
