DepEd seeks P4-B add’l funds for calamity-stricken schools 0 SHARES Share it! Pascua pointed to insufficient funds for calamity-damaged schools as the reason why DepEd is pushing for additional budget. Pascua noted that a bigger budget for QRF would also help ensure that infrastructure damages in schools would be addressed more quickly. Since 2017, Pascua noted that there are still infrastructure damages in calamity-stricken schools that have not been addressed. DepEd, Pascua said, is in constant discussion with Congress on the needs of the education sector.
