The QC administration under Mayor Belmonte have built nine more school buildings with 132 classrooms that can accommodate more than 7,500 students.  Eight more school buildings are programmed to be built for the rest of the year, while 32 are undergoing repairs and renovations.  Among those scheduled for immediate constructions are two 16-classroom buildings at Barangay Holy Spirit.  One will ease the congestion at the Holy Spirit Elementary School which now accommodates as many as 90 students per class, and the other building will be for a new high school which this administration is putting up.

Indicators on education are the following:

	15.38% more public elementary classrooms
	4.99% more public secondary classrooms
	64.83% more computers, acquired through donations and the special education funds;
	13.72% more textbooks purchased

However, much remains to be done.  We need P79.88 million worth of textbooks and 598 new classrooms (virtually all in District 2) costing P752.98 million.
