Globe myBusiness initiates creation of ‘ecosystem of enablers’with ShiftED
GLOBE has launched a campaign to assist academic institutions on their journey towards digital transformation and empower Filipinos with word-class learning through technology.
Strategy, Innovation, and Transformation or ShiftED, a program under Globe myBusiness, will assist the government and schools in developing globally-competitive students and teachers.
The program features education- related activities of Globe such as the Digital Thumbprint Program (DTP), which promotes responsible digital citizenship and cyber wellness for students; and PRISM, a digital literacy improvement program aimed at advancing the digital literacy of teachers.
“We know that informing or transforming education in the country cannot be done by one sector. We need to collaborate. #ShifTED is our commitment to create an ecosystem of enablers,” says Mitsch Tapia, head of Strategy, Innovation, and Transformation of Globe.
Globe myBusiness provides connectivity and solutions that can aid schools to be digitally-ready. Their learning management solutions heartens students to go beyond memorization and boost their learning through interaction, critical thinking, and a readily-available source of knowledge.
Aside from these, Globe myBusiness, in partnership with Spring Valley and OJT. PH ventured into providing relevant solutions to local entrepreneurs as well as linking students to better career opportunities in the for the demands of the industry.
“This is now the turning of the page wherein the educator is now going to become a curator of content and he is going to be a co- learner. This is the big shift from how we were educated. We need a lot of enablers for us to be competitive globally. Because the students are not just competing with the students next to them. They’re competing with the whole world,” said Jonathan De Luzuriaga, president of the Philippine Software Industry Association and Spring Valley.
The campaign was formally launched last February 21 at the EduTech 2018 conference and exhibit that aimed to deliver ways on making education continuously relevant in the 21st century.
