The Department of Education has significantly increased its allocation for schools maintenance and other operating expenses (MOOE) this year as the government intensifies its efforts to achieve the learning targets of some 20 million students in elementary and secondary public schools nationwide.
Education Secretary Br. Armin A. Luistro FSC said DepEd and the Department of Budget and Management both agreed to adopt a refined formula for setting the MOOE budgets of public schools, which takes into account not only the number of students in a school, but also the number of classrooms and teachers. The new formula is more responsive to the requirements for improved classroom instruction and better school management. The increase in MOOE comes together with the government’s classroom construction program and its massive teacher hiring program, which are part of the government’s continuing thrust to improve conditions in public schools and upgrade the quality of education.

Computation of Public Schools MOOE – Boncodin Formula
The Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) is the allocated funds for public elementary and secondary schools that can be spent on activities and necessities (i.e. electricity and water) that support learning programs and help maintain a safe and healthy environment in schools.
School’s MOOE = Fixed amount + (Allowable amount x Number of Classrooms) + (Allowable amount x Number of Teachers) + (Allowable amount x Number of Learners)
There are two components in the formula, the fixed and variable costs. The fixed amounts for every Elementary School would be P40,000 and for High School P80,000. The variable costs are the following:
Basis | Elementary School | High School |
Every Classroom | P3,000 | P6,000 |
Every Teacher | P4,000 | P8,000 |
Every Learner | P200 | P400 |
1. Assume that Basey I Central Elementary School has 250 enrolees, 6 teachers, and 5 classrooms:
Applying the fomula, the school’s MOOE would be:
= P40,000 + (P3,000 x 5) + (P4,000×5) + (P200 x 250)
= P125,000
2. Assume that Basey National High School has 850 enrolees, 25 teachers, and 20 classrooms:
Applying the formula, the school’s MOOE would be:
= P80,000 + (P6,000 x 20) + (P8,000 x 25) + (P 400 x 850)
= P740,000
There are cases however when the proposals derived from the Boncodin’s formula will be constrained due to the department’s budget calling.

Sir Good Day, can you help me po if where i can get the legal orders/references or memos about the Boncodin formula? or please help me po the DepEd References po natin sa computation for allocation of MOOE…slamat po sir..
Good day. Thank you so much your site is very helpful.as I tried to compute for example no. 1, using the Boncodin Formula, I got the Answer 129, 000 pesos. Upon checking with the example, I have seen that the discrepancy in the given solution is in the subtitution of no. of classrooms. The no. of teachers is 6 and not 5…The answer is 4000 pesos short of the supposed mooe… just sharing…
Ask ko lang po, ang printing for the school paper po ba pwedeng icharge sa MOOE?
