A gap in access is a gap in learning. With this in mind, Globe Telecom joined hands to give educators, students and parents access to highly engaging programs and affordable digital solutions so there will be no reason for their learning to stop. To make education stakeholders feel more optimistic for the new school year, Globe launched the unified company-wide platform GoLearn aimed at helping the Philippines achieve 21st Century Learning. Through this initiative, Globe is looking forward to create a better tomorrow for the education sector.
GoLearn is a valuable platform for everyone who aspires to further enrich their education as it opens up doors for a brighter future. It promotes continuous learning and further bridges the digital gaps in the country's education landscape via access to connectivity solutions and learning platforms and solutions. “It is our commitment in Globe to work with the whole education sector to bring forth everyone’s aspiration for better education, ensuring that learning never stops for all, wherever they are, regardless of their status.. This is the heart of GoLearn – Globe’s unified initiative to bring together products, programs, services, and solutions that will empower the whole learning ecosystem," said Globe's Small and Medium Businesses Group Head KD Dixon.
Supporting Globe in the undertaking of the initiative is Senator Joel "TESDAman" Villanueva, Chairman of the Philippine Senate Committees on Labor, Employment and Human Resources Development and on Higher and Technical-Vocational Education and Digital Learning Advocate. A son of two former public school teachers, he is also a staunch advocate of continuous learning and has paved the way for accessible education for all. Villanueva mentioned in a study conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on possible learning loss due to indefinite school closures and remote learning. The impact on the kids may be long term which can affect their competitiveness and work performance in the foreseeable future.
“We advocate digital learning and we partner with Globe for the fulfillment of this advocacy,” Villanueva said. “That’s why importante ang mga ginagawa o gagawin pa nating mga interventions para hindi tuluyang bumaba ang kaalaman ng mga kabataan. Makakatulong dito ng malaki ang initiative ng Globe to ensure na tuloy-tuloy ang learning ng mga bata. GoLearn is a digital solution to widen the access to training. With GoLearn, learning is at your fingertips kaya very convenient.” Meanwhile, Department of Education's Undersecretary for Legislative Affairs, External Partnerships and School Sports Hon. Tonisito C. Umali stated, “Napakahirap po ng ating kinakaharap ngayon ngunit ito po ay magiging hindi gaano kahirap dahil po sa ating partner. Napakalaki po ng tulong ng Globe sa pagbibigay ng connectivity, mga learning platforms, at mga learning management systems na pwede po nating gamitin to supplement what we are already doing. Kaya atin pong pinapasalamatan ang Globe."
“We hope you’re as excited as us to really raise the quality of education in the country together,” said Globe Telecom President and CEO Ernest Cu on how the telco places priority on the enablement of online learning. “With the launch of GoLearn, know that the entire One Globe group is with you to continue to provide affordable connectivity, accessible platforms, and safer learning environment for all.” “The Ayala Group gives its full support to Globe’s GoLearn program as it provides enabling solutions that propel the education sector to progressive digital learning,” said Ayala Corporation Chairman Jaime Augusto Zobel De Ayala.
