In the beginning, it was an idea to struggle for the development of a truly pro-people, mass-based and scientific education. This struggle must be led by uncompromising and dedicated people whose basic ideals are honor and excellence. This idea flourished and an organization was born, wholly dedicated to the development of the Filipino youth into responsible and pro-people leaders and educators.
The Science and Math Majors Advocating Responsible Teaching was founded by a group of science teaching area scholars on February 14, 1996. The core of founders was initially composed of four members and continued to expand until eventually establishing the organization.
SMMART is an academic organization based in the College of Education, University of the Philippines, Diliman, which primarily aims to pursue academic excellence, leadership dynamism, development of a truly pro-people, mass based and scientific education, and seeks to provide a wholesome training ground for its members. In its existence for nine years, the organization remains an active principled participant and proponent in a dynamic rationalization, deliberation and application of prevailing essential and pressing issues affecting the studentry, college and university in particular and society and nation in general.
UP SMMART is equal to "Positive Infinity".
