ABC+ Advancing Basic Education in the Philippines (ABC+) project

The ABC+ Advancing Basic Education in the Philippines (ABC+) project is a five-year project to improve basic life skills for children in the early grades throughout the Philippines. This includes the ability to read and do math, and to apply other basic life skills. To achieve its goal, the project is pursuing an integrated approach to ABC+'s three intermediate results (IRs).

Improved instruction and learning delivery (IR1) will invest in professional development and support for teachers.

To improve access to quality materials (IR2), the project will introduce innovative approaches to materials development and build capacity to develop and make available materials in a variety of languages.

To ensure that ABC+-introduced improvements can reach all schools in the target regions and be sustained (IR3), the project will build system capacity and DepEd commitment to plan, mobilize, and manage public and private resources and to support improved early grade learning.
