In the Philippines, access to quality education remains a challenge for many families due to financial constraints. Recognizing the importance of education as a catalyst for socio-economic advancement, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) plays a pivotal role in providing educational assistance to marginalized and disadvantaged students across the country. Through various programs and initiatives, DSWD aims to uplift the lives of Filipino students and equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to break the cycle of poverty.
