The Ateneo Center for Educational Development presents an initiative that is likely to deliver results because the strategies are

• Needs-Based and Grounded - every intervention is based on a need that has surfaced through school profiling and these interventions are demand-driven rather than supply-driven.


• Community-Owned - the school community (principal, teachers, students, parents, barangay, local government officials) has gone though the process of articulating their desire and commitment to develop the school.


• Outcomes-Based - success is measured not in terms of the number of activities conducted but in terms of student achievement results using the National Achievement Test and other tests.
