underserved public schools in remote and/or economically depressed communities. A collaborative
effort of the Department of Education (DepEd) and the University of the Philippines (UP),
through the Ugnayan ng Pahinungod, GP was created through a three-year memorandum of agreement
that was signed in 1998 and renewed in 2001 and 2004.

providing quality basic
education in underserved public schools, in support of UP's commitment to promote quality
