Equity for Children, Youth, and Adults in Situations of

Disadvantaged

The Intermediate Outcome #2 of the DEDP has been defined as

“School-age children and youth and adults in situations of disadvantage
benefited from appropriate equity initiatives.”

This intermediate outcome on equity will promote DepEd’s thrust of

equitable and inclusive education in the Philippines and will allow DepEd to be
provided with new tools, data, and human and financial resources to ensure
that no child nor youth is left behind in the education system. The pillar on
equity focuses on one sub-intermediate outcome:

Sub-Intermediate Outcome 2.1: All school-age children and youth and

adults in disadvantaged situations are participating in inclusive basic
learning opportunities and receiving appropriate quality education.

To achieve these outcomes, DepEd will implement the following
