The assignment also includes administering grants to selected schools, monitoring implementation progress, collecting feedback and testimonials, preparing jury and progress reports, and submitting final narrative and certified financial reports. The program focuses on strengthening heritage-based education across the Philippines by supporting innovative teaching approaches and encouraging participation from schools nationwide.
