What's in Calabanga?

There were talks of a new FFS brewing in Calabanga.

The NPT visited the place last August 24, 2007 and had a meeting with the officers of Calabanga Towards Rural Development Inc on the possibility of opening a FFS next school year (SY 2008 - 2009). Present during the said meeting are the President, Vice President and two officers of the association.

The visit was highlighted by the identification of major concerns/issues that would ensure the opening of the school next year. Identified concerns include 1) infrastructure, 2) teacher and faculty complement, 3) type of school (coed or exclusive), 4) Financing, and 5) Security. The concern on infrastructure seems to be the major stumbling block on the opening of the new FFS at Calabanga. It was agreed that there is a need to identify committees that will look into the different concerns and come up with specific timetable in connection to the possible opening next school year. Though very much enthusiastic for a new FFS in Calabanga, the officers are also aware of the works ahead and the possibility of moving the opening for SY 2009 - 2010 if the concerns identified are not met accordingly.
