The Education Quality for Inclusive Prosperity (EQUIP) is a new Australian-funded program, implemented in the Philippines. EQUIP supports the Philippine Government’s efforts to strengthen senior secondary school education and ensure that senior secondary school learners have the skills to participate meaningfully in the labour force. EQUIP is a partnership between the Governments of Australia and the Philippines and will contribute to Philippine Government-led education reforms including the Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) 5-Point Reform Agenda which aims to harness the potential of young Filipinos.
