Sto. Cristo Elementary School

32 of the 35 “hopeless” Grade 2 students reassigned to Sto. Cristo’s special “Section 5” were officially judged to merit being promoted to Grade 3. This came after the 32 students passed the literacy tests last March 2007. Accenture and One Small Step Forward Foundation intervened back in October by hiring a teacher for the special class, providing textbooks and school supplies for each child, and undertaking a feeding program. Princpal Nitz Pangilinan considered the program an unqualified success.
