ABSTRACT:

Quality education commences from the preparation of the school and learning materials during the Brigada eskwela. For it kick started the learning process by proving the learners with a conducive learning environment and adequate learning materials through our teachers and school administrators. This study then described the lived experiences of the teachers in the conduct of the brigada eskwela 2024. Particularly, it focused on their experiences considering the adequacy of resources used and the community involvement. Also it presents the total viewpoint of the teachers on their involvement in the Brigada eskwela. The research used the Phenomenological Approach as it deals with personal experiences of the participants and were analyzed using the methods of thematic analysis. Findings revealed that with the inadequacy of resources that were used, teachers would always resort to themselves when support from the community and the school is not sufficient. Furthermore, the presence of community in the accomplishment of the tasks laid out shows unity and willing help from the people. Also, it found out that with all the hardships they have experienced, the success of Brigada Eskwela 2024 was nothing compared to it. In addition, teachers could not have this success without the eagerness of the community to support in all kinds. Finally, it is recommended that studies on viewpoint of schools bigger group of teachers will be conducted to provide more local based perceptions on the conduct of brigada eskwela.
