CMS Validation
It is a standard procedure for CMS volunteers to validate school data from the Philippines’ Department of Education (DepEd). CMS volunteers go to schools and physically check if the information from the DepEd is consistent with what is reported. This is the story of volunteer students from De La Salle College of St. Benilde, who went to Marcella Agoncillo Elementary School in Binondo and Rafael Palma Elementary School in Vito Cruz in Manila. Other validation efforts can be seen on the CMS facebook page.
