The Department of Education (DepEd) has partnered with Delivery Associates Australia, and the Ayala Foundation on Thursday for the delivery of quality basic education in the country.
As part of the agreement, Delivery Associates will conduct a rapid assessment of the agency’s current capacity to perform its programs and initiatives. Moreover, after the initial evaluation, it will provide the DepEd with recommendations on what programs are needed to prioritize and align with the DepEd’s priority of providing quality education.
It 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.
DepEd 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 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA).
The said ceremonial signing was attended by key officials from the DepEd 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.
The said partners were also represented by Ayala Foundation Trustee Alfredo Ayala, Delivery Associates Asia Pacific Director Anna Needs, and Head of Corporate Governance and Legal Love Amoroso.
