DepEd NCR Regional Director Malcolm Garma explained that the use of printed modules for learning delivery is “not sustainable in the long run” – given the costs and impact on the environment.
Given this, Garma said that “online learning is one of the solutions and now is the time to train our teachers.” This need, he added, is being addressed by the “HEROES 2021” teacher training project by Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank).
UnionBank led the co-creation of an innovative digital corporate social responsibility program that helped a pioneering batch of 80,000 public school teachers upgrade their digital capability as the country’s education sector rallies private sector support for the blended learning approach.
