The MOA signing was officiated by DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara, along with 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.

The partnership aimed to speed up equitable access to quality basic education nationwide.

“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,” DepEd said.

As part of the agreement, Delivery Associates (DA) will conduct a rapid assessment of DepEd’s current capacity to execute its programs and initiatives.

“After the initial evaluation, DA will provide DepEd with recommendations on which programs to prioritize and align with our goal of providing quality education,” the agency added.

DA will then assist DepEd in setting up a dedicated team to implement the identified targets.

The project will also involve continuous monitoring and evaluation to track progress and make necessary adjustments.

By leveraging the expertise of Delivery Associates and the support of the Ayala Foundation, DepEd aims to create a more inclusive and effective education system.
