**Program Background**

The Education Quality for Inclusive Prosperity (EQUIP) is a critical component of Australia’s strategic partnership with the Philippines. It builds on over 30 years of investment by the Government of Australia into the Philippines’ education sector and supports the Marcos government’s commitment to improve the global competitiveness of the Philippine education and labour market. EQUIP reflects the collective interest of Australia and the Philippines to foster a robust and adaptive education system where learners and graduates can thrive in an increasingly digitalised economy.

EQUIP aims to support the Philippines’ inclusive economic growth ambitions by ensuring the labour force is well equipped with skills relevant to meet the needs of the country’s rapidly transforming economy. EQUIP aims to promote skills development in senior high school and enable a smooth transition to the labour force, whether immediately upon leaving school or after further education. It will also support Philippine Government agencies improve its policies and practices to support relevant skills pathways for senior secondary school learners.
