Globe launches GoLearn Program for students, educators

Globe has partnered with the Department of Education (DepEd) and Senator Joel Villanueva to launch GoLearn, a unified, company-wide program aimed at helping educators, parents, and students.

GoLearn is an essential platform for anyone seeking to further their education. It promotes continuous learning and bridges the country's digital divide in education by providing access to connectivity, learning platforms, and solutions.

Globe Head of Small, Medium Business Group, KD Dizon, said that they are committed to collaborating with the entire school system in order to realize everyone's desire for a better education.

Senator Joel "Tesdaman" Villanueva, Chairman of the Philippine Senate's Labor, Employment, and Human Resources Development Committees, as well as the Higher, Technical, and Vocational Education Committees, and Digital Learning Advocate, is assisting Globe in this endeavor.

Villanueva cited a study conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on possible learning loss resulting from school closures and remote learning. The long-term effect on children may affect their competitiveness and work performance in the near future.

"Globe's initiative will help a lot to ensure that children's learning is continuous," said Villanueva in Tagalog.

"Globe has been very helpful in providing connectivity, learning platforms, and learning management systems that we can use to supplement what we are already doing," said Tonisito C. Umali, Undersecretary of Legislative Affairs, External Partnerships and School Sports of the Department of Education.
