This timely distribution comes as students prepare for the new academic year, ensuring they have access to high-quality educational materials.
“Even in the digital age, printed materials like books still have the
power to captivate readers. The donated mathematics books will be a valuable
addition to our school's resources, helping us ensure all learners become
numerate or advance beyond basic skills," Duquit High School Teacher
Prince Mangahas said.
