Smooth class opening assured

Mayor Leocadio "Boy" de Vera Jr. of this town and Department of Education (DepEd) officials here have assured the smooth opening of classes on Monday, June 6.

De Vera has asked public school teachers in the 77 barangays here not to deny enrollment to poor students "It is the right of every child to learn and obtain education."

"Authorized and voluntary fees may be collected after enrollment and upon the capacity of the parents," he added.

De Vera has been vigorously pursuing his program on education here, particularly for the poor. "Education plays a vital role for the progress and advancement of a community. It is a wealth that cannot be stolen from its beholder."

"Education is the key to one’s success in life. That is why I am encouraging parents to send their children to school as elementary and secondary education are free in public schools here," De Vera said. (Manila Bulletin, June 2, 2005)
