Brigada Eskwela is a nationwide voluntary effort held each year before the start of the school year. Its purpose is for communities to do minor repairs and cleaning at their local public schools in preparation for students' return. Individuals can help by coordinating with their school to volunteer time for repairs, donating materials, or spreading information about the program. Acceptable donations include school supplies, cleaning materials, construction materials, food for volunteers, financial assistance, and time/skills. The document provides contact information for the local DepEd office and councilor's office to get involved.
