Record-Breaking Enrollment at Pasig City's Largest Elementary School

Pasig City's Nagpayong Elementary School Opens Doors to Nearly 12,000 Students Amidst Challenges Pasig City, Philippines – Nagpayong Elementary School, the largest public elementary school in the Philippines, commenced its academic year with a record-breaking number of students. Almost 12,000 students filled the school's halls on the first day, a testament to the growing population in the area. However, this influx of students also presented significant challenges. "We are facing a shortage of classrooms," said Mon Gualvez, a News5 reporter who visited the school. "To solve this, the school has implemented a shift system, with some classes starting in the morning and others in the afternoon." Gualvez also noted that many armchairs were damaged, creating an additional burden for the school. The school is working with parents and stakeholders to address the issues and ensure a smooth academic year for all students. Despite the challenges, the energy and enthusiasm of the students and teachers were palpable. The successful start to the school year is a positive sign for the future, highlighting the dedication of the school staff and the community's support for education.
