OVERVIEW: Basic Education

Through the Education Quality and Access for Learning and Livelihood Skills (EQuALLS) project, USAID improves access to and quality of basic education in Mindanao. Working with the national and ARMM Departments of Education, EQuALLS increases learning opportunities through providing infrastructure and materials, improving instruction quality in English, science and math, mobilizing local governments, communities, and other stakeholders to give greater support to basic education, and increasing learning opportunities for out-of-school children and youth through alternative learning systems. EQuALLS is being implemented by a team of local and international organizations with expertise in youth development, led by the Education Development Center.
