UNESCO is a United Nations organization that promotes international cooperation in education, science, and culture. It outlines four pillars of learning: learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together, and learning to be. The Philippines has adopted UNESCO's Education for All framework to provide universal basic education through early childhood care, quality primary education, eradicating illiteracy, and continuing education programs. The Philippines has also adopted the Millennium Development Goals to reduce poverty and improve health, education, gender equality, and the environment. UNESCO works with the Philippines on monitoring systems and multisectoral consultations to track progress on international commitments.
