Home Economics & Workshop
The government of the Philippines demands through DECS (Department of Education, Culture & Sports) that every elementary school has a set of classrooms prepared as a "normal" home in the Philippines.
The "normal home" must include bedroom, kitchen, livingroom, bathroom and hallway.
This is to help the children in the higher grades of the elementary school to learn how to assist at home with basic housely duties and learn about cooking, hygiene, hospitality and politeness.
The photos are taken in June 2003. To see the photos in full & large size click on the photo on this page.
