Security Bank Foundation, College of the Holy Spirit in ceremonial turnover

-

TO assist schools with their hurdles in distance learning, Security Bank’s corporate social responsibi­lity (CSR) arm, Security Bank Foundation Inc. (SBFI); the College of the Holy Spirit Manila-High School (CHSM-HS) Batch of 1973; and the Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) partnered to distribute portable media libraries with educationa­l resources to five public schools.

Dubbed as “Gift of Knowledge” kits, the portable media libraries were plugand-play external hard drives, loaded with over 1,500 KCFI-produced video lessons, e-games and e-session guides for kindergart­en, elementary, junior high school and alternativ­e learning system students.

“The portable media libraries hopes to answer that problem as students or their parents can now access educationa­l resources offline and enjoy interactiv­e learning at home,” said Melissa Aquino, SBFI trustee and corporate secretary.

“With the portable media library, we are now confident that we will be able to provide quality distance learning delivery to our students and improve their learning competenci­es,” expressed Aldrin Baloc, San Jose City National High School principal.

Camarines Sur National High School in Naga City, Laguna Resettleme­nt School in San Pedro City, San Jose City National High School in Nueva Ecija, San Pablo Central School in Laguna, and Tuguegarao West Central School in Cagayan were each given one portable media library. The beneficiar­y schools were also part of SBFI’s Build a School, Build a Nation: The Classrooms Project.

The modules were aligned with the Department of Education’s K-12 curriculum.

Funded by the CHSM-HS Batch of 1973 under the batch legacy project, dubbed “Agapay sa Kalusugan at Pagaaral.”
