STANDARD Chartered Bank (SCB), the oldest international bank in the country, organized school-based activities to support the Department of Education (DepEd) in driving its 2023 Brigada Eskwela and National Learning Recovery programs in preparation for the reopening of public school classes and to address the learning gaps brought about by the pandemic.

DepEd rolled out a five-week National Learning Camp (NLC) from July 24 to August 25 and sought support from the public sector to conduct fun and educational activities to foster learners' interests, socioemotional skills, personal growth and character development.
