But MANY SCHOOL PROBLEMS REMAIN UNADDRESSED, particularly on the poor quality of classrooms, toilets and other facilities affecting the children's learning environment; 64 school in Guimaras were reported to have no access to internet. Guimaras public schools also cater to children from very poor family (49 schools having at least 25% of enrollees receiving the government's conditional cash grant) and from indigenous groups (43 schools have at least 1 student from an IP group).
