To formalize SMART Communication's partnership with one of Manila's public schools, a Memorandum of Agreement signing was held at Epifanio delos Santos Elementary School (EDSES) on November 29, 2011. The partnership is now on its second year of implementation under the program CommuniTEACH at EDSES.
CommuniTEACH is one of SMART Communications' community service programs under the Kabalikat sa Edukasyon Initiative. It is a supplementary mentoring program that aims to improve learning among public elementary school students. The program is being implemented in partnership with the Read-to-be-Smart, Smart employees' volunteer organization and Silid Aralan, INc. The principal of EDSES, Dr. Violeta Q. delos Santos, said that the program started in June 2011, with a batch of twenty slow readers in Grade II being mentored by SMART employees. The students who manifested improvement in reading levels after a mentoring period of eight Saturdays were replaced by another batch of readers who needed help in reading.
