Project Profile
|
The American people, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), are helping the Philippine government address challenges in the Philippine education sector. USAID assistance in improving the education sector in Mindanao is carried out by the EDUCATION QUALITY and ACCESS for LEARNING and LIVELIHOOD SKILLS (EQuALLS2) project. The project offers a core set of interventions aimed at increasing access to quality education for elementary school children, and to relevant learning and livelihood skills training for out-of-school children and youth. The EQuALLS2 project is being implemented under the coordination of the Education Development Center (EDC) in partnership with a team of international and local organizations with expertise in education and youth development in Mindanao. Project interventions are delivered in partnership with the Department of Education (DepED), DepED in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), and the Philippine Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), together with local government units, community education stakeholders, and other local as well as international public and private organizations. |
