In response to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the education system, Edukasyon.ph, the largest online platform empowering Filipino youth from education to career, has launched several initiatives to stay true to its mission amid the global health crisis.
According to Henry Motte-Muñoz, founder and CEO of Edukasyon.ph, the edtech start-up has been working on several initiatives to improve connectivity, enhance efficiency and bring convenience to its student and partner communities through its platform.
“These months have historically been peak season for senior high students searching for courses, colleges and scholarships on Edukasyon.ph, and we are now seeing 10x more online inquiries given the challenges of community lockdown,” Motte-Muñoz said in a statement. “We’re grateful that more schools are opening up to online operations and are pleased to offer our services for free to ensure both schools and students are connected and supported.”
Over 500 senior high schools and colleges have joined the platform in the last three years for its school services. In the time of a pandemic, the tools have helped educational institutions on process continuity and protect its frontline staff from avoidable physical contact with students and parents.
Edukasyon.ph has gained nearly 200 new partner schools in the past month. Among them are University of the Visayas campuses, University of Mindanao campuses and the AMA Education System.
