planning and policy framework as early as 2003 and was already
integrated in the formulation and updating of the MTPDP 2001-04 and
2005-2010. Instead of six target dimensions as advanced by global EFA,
the Philippines grouped them into four component objectives when it
considered the local situation, all geared towards the overall goal of

ways to improve the lives of young children.
