The Fund for Assistance to Private Education (FAPE) is a non-profit organization based in Makati City, the Philippines, with the mandate of providing assistance to private education institutions in the Philippines. ==History== FAPE was established in the sixties from the confluence of two factors, namely: the recognition of the crucial role of private education in national development and the campaign that had been launched by private school associations for the formation of an educational foundation that would address the needs of private education in the country. In response to these factors, a perpetual trust fund was created under the initiative of the Philippine government with the help of the United States government. FAPE was formally created by Pres. Ferdinand E. Marcos on November 5, 1968, by means of Executive Order No. 156, in implementation of the Project Agreement of June 11, 1968, between the Philippines and United States governments. The two governments therewith agreed to establish the Fund for Assistance to Private Education with the Private Education Assistance Committee (PEAC) as its trustee, and to allocate a Ps24 million irrevocable trust fund from the Special Fund for Education authorized under U.S. Public Law 88-94 as initial capital which would be augmented through donations, grants, and other transfers from private as well as public entities. Since 1994, through prudent and expert management and through grants from the national government, FAPE is worth over Ps140 million. It has disbursed over Ps166 million worth of assistance programs since its creation. All disbursements have kept faith with the stipulations of the enabling instrument that the initial capital must be kept intact and unimpaired at all times, utilizing only the earnings therefrom. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fund for Assistance to Private Education」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
