Brigada Eskwela, also known as the National Schools Maintenance Week is an annual activity led by DepEd. All education stakeholders (students, teachers, parents, organizations, and companies, etc.) contribute their time, effort, and resources to prepare public school facilities for a start of a new year, and rekindle the spirit of “bayanihan” (communal work), and this nationwide activity is held simultaneously across the country, usually a week before the start of classes.
