Filipinos place great value on education, seeing it as a way out of poverty. The World Bank joins the country's local government units (LGUs) in their efforts to fulfill their constituents' dreams of a better life. Through its lending and advisory services focusing on investment and reforms in the education sector, the Bank aims to address the widening issue of poverty.

In the Philippines, the Bank's social development sector has been involved in institutional capacity building, investment in educational facilities and equipment, program development, and improving the management of the social services sector.
