“Check My School” (view the site here) is an interactive platform and a comprehensive database on the government's education services that allows parents, students and educators in the Philippines to monitor school funding and report on any issues, such as teacher absence or misuse of funds. The project was launched by the Affiliated Network for Social Accountability East Asia and the Pacific (ANSA-EAP).

Following the path of the Philippines, Moldova has been developing a similar platform.

This event will address the results one year into the project in the Philippines and how Moldova is learning from CheckMySchool. Issues of scale and replication will also be discussed.
