Primary Structures Educational Foundation, Inc.

The  Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) together with the members of the private sector has formalized a partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) to support classroom-building efforts through “Bayanihang Pampaaralan” (BP) that was launched in 2011. BP is an initiative of the 57-75 Movement pushing for the construction of 10,000 classrooms  in two years . It aims to consolidate classroom building efforts and direct funds to the construction of classrooms in areas that need the most assistance. The project encourages coordination of private sector efforts in education to help avoiding duplication of efforts and to rationalize funding for projects. From the experience, BP discovered that providing classrooms is not sufficient to meet desired its outcomes like improvement in academic performance so the consortium decided to rethink and expand its focus, and specify a focus intervention with focused results. The focus has now shifted to the senior high school
