Put Your School In The Map
View your school mapping project that you have emailed to us, or view other schools that have been posted already, click here. Let us help you build your school website, or link your Facebook or existing website to our school mapping project. Initially containing what was collected and produced during the pilot phase in Davao Region XI, the FAPE School Mapping Project shall soon cover all private schools in the Philippines. We envision that this project, while being an important planning tool for our education policy makers, shall become a portal for school students to establish contact with each other from more than 1,700 islands, to pursue cooperation and share knowledge and skills, and find an opportunity for those who have more to give to those who may have less.
The Philippine Constitution upholds the important role of private schools. Government’s support in promoting quality and viability of private schools is for the best interest of the Philippine educational system.

School Mapping Project Goes National in Scope
What was launched as a pilot project in the Davao Region XI last February 2011 gave FAPE first-hand field experience and valuable lessons on how best to do it on a nationalwide basis. This project shall provide planning tools and information for education policy makers to push for EFA (education for all) and to improve high school participation rate.

FAPE-GASTPE
The Fund for Assistance to Private Education is an organization which was established on November 5, 1968 to promote the development of private education in the Philippines. FAPE also implements R.A. 6728 or the Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education (GASTPE) to assist poor but deserving students in the financial burden of studying in private institutions; i.e. through the Educational Service Contracting (ESC). The ESC is an on-going program that decongests public high schools by “contracting” the excess capacities of private high schools through the provision of subsidies for poor students who, otherwise, would have gone to the public high schools.
