Aiming to reduce high classroom-to-student ratio in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), the Basic Education Assistance for Muslim Mindanao (BEAM) program of the Australian government is geared to benefit more than 5,000 students in the next three years through its ongoing classroom rehabilitation in the region.

According to Kevin Corbin, BEAM-ARMM team leader, the program which is funded by the Australian government, is "designed to contribute to the alleviation of poverty and the emergence of peace in ARMM through targeted investments in basic education."

In the next few months, the program is set to build 60 more classrooms in Sulu to increase the number of classrooms in the province. Some of which had already been turned over by the BEAM-ARMM.

Among the classrooms rehabilitated by the program include those of Bakud Elementary School (BES), Hji. Gulamu Rasul, Hji. Hassiman, Hja. Taiba Abubakar Shuck, Tanjung, and Jati Elementary Schools. These schools are located in the four Jolo DepEd-ARMM Districts in the Division of Sulu.

Furthermore, the program turned over 24 newly-rehabilitated classrooms to six public schools in Sulu last August 18.

A teacher from BES has expressed her gratitude for the successful rehabilitation of eight classrooms in their school.

“I’ve been teaching here for more than 20 years and it’s the first time that my classroom was renovated,” said Nadzwa Inding.

BES implemented a shifting scheme prior to the rehabilitation of classrooms, Inding shared, adding that her pupils used to gather in one corner to avoid the leaks from a portion of their ceiling during rains.

“BEAM-ARMM fixed our ceiling. Now, my pupils enjoy a well-ventilated classroom equipped with hand washing facility, new chalkboard, and toilet,” she said.

Through June 2015, the program is expected to provide more learning facilities, quality teachers, and learning materials for poor children especially out-of-school youths through BEAM-ARMM's management systems in the region.

Aside from the rehabilitation of classrooms, DepEd-ARMM secretary Atty. Jamar Kulayan said the agency will provide schools in Sulu with 1,340 chalkboards through its "Pisara ng Pagbabago Program." They will also put up a division library and Instructional Materials Development Center (IMDC).

Kulayan added that the IMDC will be equipped with computers, internet connection, and photocopiers which can provide teachers an easier access to lesson plans, workbooks, and other reference materials.
