As we all know, most of the learners in any places of our country belong to poor families and have
greater possibility of dropping out in their basic education just because of hunger and malnutrition in school and
besides, by helping their parents to earn a living. Furthermore, the health and nutrition of these learners are crucial
factor affecting their academic performance. Hence, our government must do something in order to address this
immortal educational issue once and for all.
For this reason, let us educate the learners the methods of sustainable production of food such as vegetable
production and consumption which are applicable to their homes and important for household security. Furthermore,
this will also teach them with the following;
improving nutritional status producing food
learning where food comes from stimulating creativity
promoting beautification encouraging leadership &
watershed education service changing family home food habits
As a matter of fact, these livelihood skills that the learners will acquire from the school can also be applied
and replicated in their respective households. Thus, by making foods more accessible to all schools that will certainly
improve the health and nutritional status of the learners through this sustainable School Feeding Program, our
government can better ensure their success.

III. Project Description
One of the thrusts of the Department of Education [DepEd] is to strengthen and intensify the implementation of
the Gulayan sa Paaralan Project [GPP] in all public elementary and secondary schools to serve as food basket and
have a ready source of vegetables for the schools' supplementary feeding program. According to the report of the
Nutrition and Health Council, hunger and malnutrition are two main problems that really affect 19% or 3, 268, 000
families out of the 17, 400, 000 families / households in the country due to lack of food to eat or money to buy food.
Meanwhile, our government is now strengthening the implementation of school – community food
production under this program which shall be tied up with other concern agencies that seeks to;
a. raise the level of public consciousness on the health and nutritional dimensions as well as economic benefits
of establishing school, households, and community garden.
b. establish school gardens to serve as the food basket / main source to sustain supplementary
feeding.
c. intensify the production and consumption of vegetables and fruits.
d. showcase small-scale food production models in schools for the household/community to replicate
purposely to promote family and food security.
e. Inculcate among the school learners the values of good health and nutrition, industry, love of labor
and caring for others.
The Gulayan sa Paaralan Project shall be implemented in all public elementary and secondary schools with
ample and limited areas within the municipality of Tagbina using the organic gardening technologies like bio-intensive
gardening. The said schools will be provided with gardening tools and vegetable seedlings. In line with this program, a
GPP Task Force or Committee will be the one to conduct the advocacy, orientation, and distributions of materials,
monitoring and evaluation. There must be a seminar – workshop that will be conducted prior to the distribution of
gardening tools and vegetables seedlings to ensure that everything is in accordance with the scope of this program
and above all, for effective implementation.
The school administrators / school heads of both elementary and secondary public schools within the
municipality of Tagbina, including their respective teachers, School PTA Officers and Members, School Governing
Council Members, Barangay Council Members or Sitio Officials as part of their moral obligation must spearhead in the
implementation of this program, Gulayan sa Paaralan Project [GPP]. The source of funds of this program must come
from the National Government (85%) and Local Government (15%) as part of the Poverty and Hunger Alleviation
Program of the government.
Finally, it is expected that the school administrators involved in this program must submit a quarterly narrative
report for this program to the GPP Task Force and to their respective schools, district or cluster nurses which eventually,
be forwarded also to the Office of the DepEd - Secretary Attn: Health and Nutrition Center, DepEd Complex, Pasig City.
