Synergeia - Makati City

Synergeia is a coalition of individuals, institutions, and organizations working together to improve the quality of basic education. Synergeia works with local governments, the Department of Education, socio-civic groups, schools, teachers, parents and students to implement systemic programs that will improve the processes, systems and structures of learning and teaching. Synergeia initiates programs to improve the proficiency of grades one to six children to speak, read, understand, and write in English. The goal of the program is to raise achievement scores of children in English to 85 percent by the time they graduate from elementary schools. In some communities, programs include proficiency to read in Filipino and to handle Mathematics. These programs serve as entry points in making basic education the centerpiece of the governance agenda of local governments.
