DepEd turns to global delivery unit to speed up equitable access to basic education
Wazzup Pilipinas!?
To reinforce the delivery of quality basic education in the country, the Department of Education (DepEd) inked a memorandum of agreement with Delivery Associates Australia Pty Ltd, and Ayala Foundation, Inc. on Thursday to support the implementation of the various agency programs and projects.
Education Secretary Sonny Angara, Delivery Associates representative Josh Wiseman, Ayala Foundation Attorney-in-Fact and President Antonio Joselito Lambino II, and Attorney-in-Fact and Head of Strategy Impact Maria Margarita Trinidad led the signing ceremony of the MOA.
The first phase of the project will set clear, measurable targets for DepEd’s education reform and establish a dedicated team to implement these targets.
As part of the agreement, Delivery Associates (DA) will conduct a rapid assessment of the agency’s current capacity to perform its programs and initiatives. Moreover, after the initial evaluation, DA will provide the DepEd with recommendations on what programs are needed to prioritize and align with the DepEd’s priority of providing quality education.
DA will then assist DepEd in setting up a dedicated team to focus on implementing the identified targets. This team will have a clear structure, staffing plan, and accountability mechanisms.
The said ceremonial signing was attended by key officials from the Department, including Undersecretary Peter Irving Corvera, Undersecretary Ronald Mendoza, Assistant Secretary Georgina Anna Yang, Assistant Secretary Malcolm Garma, Assistant Secretary Roger Masapol, and Ciela Mendoza of the Office of the Secretary.
Meanwhile, the partners were likewise represented by Ayala Foundation Trustee Alfredo Ayala, Delivery Associates Asia Pacific Director Anna Needs, and Head of Corporate Governance and Legal Love Amoroso.
