Makati Mayor Abigail Binay said the exceptional performance of Benigno Ninoy Aquino High School in the 2022 Program for International Student Assessment was largely a result of the city’s investments in innovative and inclusive learning interventions before and during the pandemic.
Prior to the pandemic, Makati City had invested P31 million for the full implementation of Project MILES for Grades 1 to 10 during School Year 2019-2020, following its successful pilot launch in 2018. Under Project MILES, students received intervention to enhance their numeracy skills through Saturday classes and 100 percent access to free learning materials locally developed by DepEd Makati with full funding from the city government.
The mayor cited Dyip ni Maki Project in which passenger jeepneys were converted into mobile learning hubs and deployed to the communities. Each repurposed vehicle had teachers, learning materials, and internet-connected laptops on board, providing assistance to students and parents with no internet access or any smart gadget.
“This achievement is a clear validation of the sound investments that Makati has made in modernizing the public school system,” Binay said. PISA assesses the knowledge and skills of 15-year-old students in mathematics, reading, and science. The tests explore how well students can solve complex problems, think critically, and communicate effectively. This gives insights into how well education systems are preparing students for real-life challenges and future success.
