The Los Baños Science Community Foundation, Inc. and the Department of Education renewed partnership on the “ Adopt-a-School Program” through a memorandum of agreement signed recently at the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development headquarters in Los Baños, Laguna.

LBSCFI has 22-member agencies in Los Baños and participated in DepEd's “Adopt-a-School Program” since 1997, benefiting 16 public elementary and high schools in Los Baños.

The partnership aims to improve the learning environment through student, school, and teacher-centered activities and to provide a model of effective collaboration between science and technology service-oriented institutions and schools in S&T.

Signatories to the agreement were PCARRD Executive Director Patricio S. Faylon, who is also LBSCFI president, and Dr. Lilia T. Reyes, division superintendent of Region IV.
