Continuing its commitment to helping elevate the country's education system, SM Foundation, Inc. (SMFI), in partnership with SM Prime Holdings, Inc.
(SMPHI) and the Department of Education (DepEd), have recently collaborated to
construct two new school buildings in Laguna and Batangas.
Upon the completion of the joint
initiative, two two-story four-classroom school buildings will be donated to
the Laguna Resettlement Community School in San Pedro City, Laguna and the San
Antonio Elementary School in Sto. Tomas City, Batangas.
Each of the school buildings is set to be
equipped with learning materials, armchairs, handwashing facilities, emergency
equipment, and PWD-friendly facilities to ensure that students, especially from low-income communities, gain access to modern, safe,
and conducive learning facilities.
Formalizing the partnership, representatives
from the SMFI, DepEd, and the local government units of said provinces attended
the memorandum of agreement signing last April 28, 2023, at the National
Educators Academy of the Philippines (NEAP) in Malvar, Batangas.
SM
Foundation, through its School Building Program, is an active partner of DepEd in various
educational programs. This social good initiative aims to
promote quality public education by building classrooms nationwide. To date, it
has turned over more than 100 school buildings to grassroots communities.
