Abstract: The Sustainable Development Agenda 2030 promotes healthy, inclusive, and sustainable communities through equitable, lifelong, and high-quality education. The UN's SDG 4a.1 evaluates schools' electricity, internet connectivity for education, computers, disabled facilities, clean drinking water, gender-segregated sanitation, and basic handwashing facilities. District III, Bacoor, Cavite schools received a two-star Three-Star Approach for Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools rating after an assessment found shortcomings in WASH services. Additionally, the computer-to-student ratio is low, making classroom use difficult. School closures due to poor infrastructure emphasize the need for safe and satisfactory educational facilities to improve teaching and learning, in line with SDG 4. To address these concerns, study examined educational facilities' SDG 4.a.1 compliance, concentrating on 2030 goals. Descriptive research was used to cross-evaluate educational facilities in District III, Bacoor, Cavite, in 2022-2023. Selected administrators and teachers with facility management knowledge participated. Study analyzed electricity, internet, computers, classrooms, drinking water, handwashing facilities, and safety using the PDSA cycle. Facility management was hampered by limited infrastructure, resources, and budget. Based on findings, a development strategy was created to improve educational facilities and SDG 4.a.1 compliance, emphasizing the need for government and stakeholder participation.
