Abstract: This study evaluated, assessed, and monitored the projects implemented under the Education Under the Tree program of Guimaras State University, designed to address the needs of the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) in Sitio Serum, San Nicolas, Buenavista, Guimaras. Using a descriptive survey method and self-developed assessment tools, the program engaged 30 IP respondents. Results of the needs assessment highlighted tutorial classes, values formation, and cultural preservation as the top priorities. Pre- and post-assessment surveys revealed significant improvements in knowledge, particularly in sanitation, values education, cultural preservation, and family orientation. Service delivery was rated very good to excellent, demonstrating effective facilitation and community participation. Overall, Education Under the Tree successfully strengthened the literacy, cultural identity, and empowerment of the IP community, underscoring the importance of sustaining and expanding similar initiatives across Guimaras.
