In a statement, Ateneo President Fr. Roberto C. Yap SJ said the Gokongwei Brothers School of Education and Learning Design (GBSEALD) was named “in recognition of the extraordinary donation from the Gokongwei Brothers Foundation (GBF) to establish the GBF Endowment for Education Innovation.”
According to Ateneo, the endowment will be used to further GBSEALD’s three strategic goals: capacity building, knowledge building, and influence.
The first goal focuses on high-quality teacher education, teacher training and leadership development, particularly in STEM, literacy, critical thinking, and Catholic education.
