PSLP 63154: Activity Completion Report

This Activity Completion Report (ACR) provides advice on the completion of Public Sector Linkages Program (PSLP) 63154 to the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), through the Australian Embassy in the Philippines. PSLP 63154 was implemented by way of a partnership between the Philippine Normal University, Manila, and the University of New England, Armidale, NSW, through the Philippine National Research Centre on Teacher Quality (RCTQ) and the National Centre for Science, ICT and Mathematics Education for Rural and Regional Australia (SiMERR), respectively. PSLP 63154 was, in the first instance, a three-year Activity. However, the program was extended twice resulting in a cohesive, developmental nine-year program (July 2012 to June 2015) comprised of three distinct phases: Establishment Phase (July 2012 - June 2015); Consolidation Phase (July 2015 - June 2019); and Transformation Phase (July 2019 - June 2021). The overarching End of Investment Goal of the nine-year program was improving teacher quality, which supported the Philippine Department of Education's (DepEd's) goal of improved learner outcomes.
