It has often been said that education is the greates equalizer. With a diploma in one’s hand, one gains access to opportunities ranging from higher education, employment, and a shot at a better life, in general.

The Philippine Statistics Authority through its Annual Poverty Indicators Survey has noted that as of 2016, one in every 10 Filipinos aged 6 to 24 years old is an out of school child and youth. This records at least 3.8 Million children not able to get access to education primarily because of problems encountered at home, and financial difficulties.
