USAID’s Education Quality and Access for Learning and Livelihood Skills (EQuALLS2) project introduced education report card for communities to 26 education stakeholders in Mindanao from January 25-26, 2010. The report card enables communities to better track their progress in pursuing quality basic education. Local government officials, community leaders, and Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) members were trained to use the approach to set their own indicators for in- and out-of-school youth, to develop corresponding action plans, and to measure their progress in achieving their goals. The EQuALLS2 project will pilot-test the system in the municipalities of Lutayan in Sultan Kudarat, Malapatan in South Cotabato, and Maluso in Basilan province. The project will support 850 PTAs and similar school governance structures in pursuing better education by 2011.
