While Sangkol Elementary School continues to make strides, several priority improvement areas have been identified to enhance the learning environment. These include the rehabilitation of two classrooms, strengthening ICT and teaching strategy training for teachers, addressing library functionality, and enhancing WASH facilities, especially the learner-to-toilet ratio. Projects like the covered court renovation, construction of comfort rooms, and installation of safety signages—supported by the PTA and local government—are already underway. With these targeted interventions and sustained stakeholder collaboration, Sangkol Elementary School is determined to create a safer, more engaging, and inclusive space for learners to thrive and succeed.
