This Filipino Education and Heritage Programme aims to promote Filipino education programs overseas, and provide younger overseas Filipinos overseas with opportunities to learn Philippine language, history, culture, language and institutions.

The programme assists in providing necessary schooling for children of overseas Filipinos with the view of facilitating their eventual integration/ reintegration into the Philippine educational system.

The programme also aims to promote and advance the teaching and study of the Filipino language at various levels of learning within and outside the schools system overseas, particularly in countries or territories which have a high number of permanent overseas Filipino residents.

It also promotes projects and activities which will bring younger generations of overseas Filipinos to the Philippines, encourages them to know the country and its institutions better, and inculcates in them the ideal that their identity and interests will best be served in the context of preserving their cultural moorings with that of all-Filipino community.
