More than providing devices, Alsons Dev is also funding three years of internet connectivity, teacher training, and implementation support, ensuring partner schools have the resources and guidance needed to effectively integrate the Khan Academy platform into classroom instruction.<\/p>\n

Khan Academy Philippines President and CEO, Atty. Geraldine Acu\u00f1a-Sunshine, emphasized the importance of partnerships in expanding access to quality education, “At Khan Academy Philippines, we believe every learner deserves access to quality education, regardless of circumstance. While we provide free learning resources, support from private organizations like Alsons Dev plays a vital role in helping schools overcome barriers to implementation and create more opportunities for students to reach their full potential.”<\/p>\n

Through Khan Academy’s personalized online learning platform, students gain free access to instructional videos and practice exercises in Math, Science, and English, with lessons aligned to the DepEd curriculum. Teachers and school administrators can also monitor student progress through a built-in dashboard.
\n“We believe education creates opportunities that shape a young person’s future. Through this partnership, we hope to strengthen learning in our public schools by giving students access to the tools and resources they need to learn, grow, and pursue their aspirations. By investing in young learners today, we are helping build stronger communities for generations to come,” said Alsons Dev President and CEO Miguel Rene A. Dominguez.
\nThe three-year initiative marks the beginning of a long-term effort to make digital learning more accessible and engaging in public schools. It reflects Alsons Dev’s commitment to enriching lives by creating opportunities for people and communities to thrive.
