Ilocos Sur has 325 barangays without elementary schools, the most in the region, followed by Ilocos Norte, with 207 barangays, La Union 254, and Pangasinan 203.
ILOCOS NORTE, Philippines — At least 989 barangays in the Ilocos Region lack elementary schools, according to a Department of Education study that reveals a long-standing basic education gap in rural communities.
The study found out that 989 or about 30.27% of 3,267 barangays in the four provinces do not have elementary schools. The study covered 116 towns and nine cities in the Ilocos region. The Singson clan has dominated governance in Ilocos Sur for decades while Ilocos Norte is the home province of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos and his family.
Students who have to travel outside the study’s catchment area – defined as within a two-kilometer radius in rural areas and one-kilometer radius in urban communities – have more absences than those who have shorter travel to school, decreasing their chance to complete a school year, the study showed.
