Daily Tribune‘As an enduring friend, partner and ally, the US government will continue to work with local partners to make quality education accessible to all educators and learners wherever they are in the Philippines.’
The United States government announced a P283-million project to help the Philippine Department of Education address education challenges, including boosting its capacity to assess the quality of education among Filipino learners.
With the support of various implementing partners, USAID's five-year project "Improving Learning Outcomes for the Philippines" will aid DepEd in designing, implementing, and evaluating its full range of education programs, from early childhood education to workforce development.
Through ILO-Ph, USAID will provide DepEd with on-demand technical assistance, regular consultations, and trainings to improve its strategic communications and data analysis systems.
This will enable DepEd to better track the progress of Filipino learners in standardized examinations and measure learning recovery from the pandemic. ILO-Ph will also support DepEd in conducting policy-relevant research to help Filipino educators enhance their teaching methods and positively impact learning outcomes.
"As an enduring friend, partner, and ally, the US government, through USAID, will continue to work with local partners to make quality education accessible to all educators and learners wherever they are in the Philippines so we can build stronger and more prosperous communities," USAID Philippines Deputy Education Director Yvette Malcioln said.
