Located in the Municipality of Catubig, Barangay Osang is one of the farthest barangays in the province. It is already next to Jipapad, Eastern Samar.
For years, the community has been grappling with poverty, insurgency and educational challenges, among others.
Through the government's intervention in the form of the Support to the Barangay Development Project (SBDP), a ray of hope was lit for Brgy. Osang.
Before, the lone school building integrated all pupils from grade 1 to grade 6 in the existing 2 classrooms. The situation was far from ideal, the lack of classrooms meant that pupils had to sit in shifts, compromising the quality of education.
Through the national government-funded SBDP implemented by the Provincial Government of Northern Samar, 2 more school buildings with 4 classrooms and 6 comfort rooms were built in Brgy. Osang.
Aimed to improve the quality of life in the community, the additional facilities are seen to provide a better learning environment for children. The pupils may now be segregated according to their grade, and have a better chance to learn.
The facility will also attract new teachers who are eager to impart knowledge in a setting more conducive-to-learning.
With the improved teacher-student ratio, teachers can now provide more personalized attention to each student, ensuring that they reach their full potential.
The construction of the new school building has not only provided better educational facilities but has also brought employment opportunity to the community. The project has created jobs for local workers, who were involved in the construction process, providing them with an alternate source of income.
The Support to Barangay Development Project is a reminder that with the right intervention, even the most challenging situations can be turned around.
The government's commitment to improving the quality of life in the barangays continues, and the community of Barangay Osang is a testament to these efforts.
With the improved educational facilities, the children of Barangay Osang now have a better chance to achieve their dreams and contribute
to the growth and development of the community.
Recently, final inspection was made by the joint team of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Provincial Government of Northern Samar to ensure that the newly constructed school buildings meet the standards set by the government. The inspection included a thorough review of the facilities and a check of the overall safety and security of the school buildings.
