Aquino that she overemphasized:  "The urgent need for the government to provide all Filipinos with at least a basic education requires our adoption of a revolutionary course. Given our scarce resources, we need to find other ways of developing a program that will equip our people with appropriate knowledge for their survival and growth even as it enables them to contribute to national development grade."  To provide direction to this international commitment, then President Corazon C. Aquino issued Presidential Proclamation No. 480 declaring the period 1990-1999 as the decade of Education for All. This, You sent too, is in pursuance to the Constitutional Mandate "that the State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels..."

To advance interventions were EFA major education development four identified and objectively pursued.
