SMIS is a PEAC-ESC Certified school
Educational Service Contracting (ESC) is a partnership program by the Department of Education (DepEd) aimed at decongesting overcrowded public junior high schools. In ESC, the excess capacities of certified private junior high schools are “contracted” through slot allocations for students who would otherwise have gone to public schools. The slots come with subsidies called ESC grants, and program beneficiaries are called ESC grantees.
The Private Education Assistance Committee (PEAC) is the agency contracted by the DepEd to administer the ESC and TSS programs. PEAC is the trustee of the Fund for Assistance to Private Education (FAPE), a perpetual fund created to provide assistance to private education in the country.
St. Mark Integrated School, an ESC-participating Junior High School, is tasked to provide grantees with the education that meets or exceeds the standards set by DepEd. We shall orient grantees and our parents on the ESC, encode correct and complete information in the ESC IMS, prepare billing statement packages, undergo certification, and comply with guidelines.
