Since its inception in 2000, at the same time that the Education for All (EFA) movement has revitalized globally, it has been committed to expand and strengthen civil society participation in reforming the Philippine education system and in developing alternative learning systems with special concern for the marginalized, excluded and vulnerable sectors (MEVS). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 20 years, Synergeia Foundation<\/strong> has nearly mastered how to engage communities to get all children to school and improve their achievement levels. The number of local government members of Synergeia has increased from 7 to nearly 500 through a demonstration effect. From a simple reading program in 2002, Synergeia\u2019s work has grown into a 360\u25e6 Investment program. Its education agenda grows richer every year because the needs of children are diverse. Education governance now includes teachers\u2019 and parents\u2019 training, peace education, waste management, livelihood training, health and sanitation, values development, construction of facilities, and livelihood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
