The Department of Public Works and Highways Regional Office 2 (DPWH-2) has accomplished a total of 200 school building projects in Cagayan Valley under the 2016 Basic Educational Facilities Fund (BEFF) of the Department of Education (DepEd). The newly constructed school buildings worth ₱1.52 billion aim to address the lack of school facilities in the region following the full implementation of the K-12 program. Additional 8 buildings were also completed by the Regional Office in the provinces of Isabela and Quirino funded by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation. According to Regional Director Melanio Briosos, the school buildings will augment the growing population of students in the region benefitting students in elementary, junior, and senior high.
