Sapie PS Disrupts 4-Day Classes


Sapie Primary School has Kindergarten to Grade 2 classes. It has one teacher handling Kindergarten classes, the TIC, Faijal I. Andan and one class adviser of Grade 1 and 2 classes, Nurjaina F. Yusop. The total enrollment is 26 students. However, teachers and students abandoned Sapie Primary School from February 21-24, 2017 due to an encounter between AFP and Abu Sayyap Group happened in Lantung, Paligue, Indanan, Sulu last February 21 at around 9:20 AM as reported to PSDS Moore by the TIC. The happening was about a half kilometer away from Sapie Primary School. Heavy gunshots of both warring parties were loudly heard in the classrooms where learners were almost panic.

The TIC and his dedicated teacher still reported to the school in the next day. Both teachers failed to conduct classes because the residents of the sitios near the school evacuated to Bakud, Social Hall and Langgal Puti' of Barangay Paligue. They managed themselves to go home and reported to PSDS Sam in the ISD Office. PSDS asked the TIC where the parents and school children stayed for safety. His reply was in those aforementioned three sitios. PSDS Moore responded that EiE would be a must for that kind of situation. Thus, the EiE Team was formed last Wednesday, February 22, 2017 in the afternoon. The group of EiE from ISD left Km. 2, Kajatian, Indanan, Sulu on Thursday, February 23, 2017. They were: 1. PSDS Sam; 2. Faisal A. Kadil, ISD DRRMC Coordinator/ESHT 3 of Pasil ES; 3. Faijal I. Andan, Kindergarten Adviser/TIC of Sapah Malawm PS and Sapie PS; 4. Alyasir A. Hussam, TIC of Poblacion ES; 5. Marjin J. Madjirul, Caretaker of Cmdr. Bara Jalaidi PS and Panglima Misuari PS; and 6. Sherwin I. Nuron, Volunteer Teacher of Pasil ES. 3 motorcycles brought them to Sapie PS.
