A Silent Emergency

Learning comes to life in conflict-prone region of the Philippines

In Muslim Mindanao, almost an equal number of school-age children and youth are out of school as are in school. As this Filipino community faces ongoing instability due to continuing conflict, an EDC program has been helping teachers, students, and out-of-school children and youth in the Philippines address the challenges in advancing education in their community.

The impact is evident. Watch these brief (about a minute) videos as Sahid Mohammad, Norhuda Abubakar, and Rose Villaneza tell you about their experiences.

Learn more about the project, which is known as the Education Quality and Access for Learning and Livelihood Skills (EQuALLS2) and is funded by USAID, at equalls.edc.org.
