"GLOBE  Telecom, in partnership with the University of Cebu (UC), recently held the culminating activity for the Visayas leg of PRISM, a digital literacy-training program designed to equip private-school teachers with technological skills for effective classroom teaching." continues Business Mirror.

This is in line with Globe Telecom’s sustainability commitment to empower every Filipino with world-class learning through technology in response to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal  4 to “ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning”.

“These days, it is imperative for teachers to learn how to use information and communications technology [ICT] tools in the classroom if they want to motivate students to learn and to help increase their skills for entrepreneurship and employment. The changing times mean teachers need to continuously adapt to their evolving role. Through this program, we are assisting the teachers in discovering new ways in which they can foster creative and critical thinking among the students,” Michelle Tapia, Globe advisor and head of education strategy and innovation, said in a statement.

The partnership with the UC has proven to be a natural fit, sharing the same vision in technology’s critical role in the 21st century.

“We are happy to host the Visayas leg of PRISM. UC, one of the leading universities in the region, continues to democratize quality education guided by the core values of innovation, camaraderie, alignment, respect and excellence [ICARE]. As education becomes increasingly competitive, UC believes that ICT is a catalyst to respond effectively to society’s demands.
