Sixteenth International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts & Responses

Abstract

The province of Bulacan in Central Luzon has numerous learning institutions from pre-school, elementary, high school, college to post-graduate that are close by the rivers, basins, estuaries, and coastal areas. It affirms that school plants are present and existing in every learning institution to cater the needs of the students, teaching and non-teaching personnel. This study shares how school leaders and managers protect and sustain their respective school plant from typhoons, high tides, flash floods, and soil erosion where learning structures and amenities were built. Observation, face-to-face interview, case study, and focus group discussion were used to obtain comprehensive results. Since, the effect of the changing climate in the area is inevitable, school heads and managers were enhanced and intensified school laboratories, classroom instruction, covered walks, parking spaces, recreational spaces, and transport services so that when the sea level rises all school stakeholders are safe and protected.
