Globe, PHINMA collaborate on closing learning gaps

In the face of historic setbacks caused by the pandemic, educational institutions and schools worldwide are trying to maximize technology, harnessing its power to ensure continuity of education, close learning gaps, and meet the diverse needs of students in today's hybrid learning setup.

PHINMA Education has accomplished this goal, quickly pivoting to meet learning needs and collaborating with Globe Business to empower students to continue learning despite disruptions.

Through its enterprise arm, Globe customized a mobile plan called Globe PHINMA Educ Exclusive, enabling PHINMA Education to develop a hybrid learning system that efficiently combines printed modules with remote virtual coaching for its students.

Globe Load Up powers this exclusive mobile package, a mobile loading solution that lets schools conveniently send data allocations to students, faculty, and staff, with automated bulk sending and convenient top-ups, allowing them to stay connected remotely.

The initiative enabled enrolled students to keep up with changes in how they learn as the organization embraced technology that ensures the continuity of quality education. PHINMA Education was able to manage their internet connectivity, ensuring that students had ample data for learning apps like Google Workspace, YouTube for Learning, Facebook Messenger and Microsoft Office 365.

"Our partnership with Globe Business gave us the support we needed to navigate a difficult period in education while remaining true to our mission to serve underprivileged students and help improve their chances of completing their education and finding employment," said Christopher Tan, Country Head of PHINMA Education Philippines.

PHINMA Education, a fast-growing network of academic institutions in Southeast Asia, operates nine schools in the Philippines and one in Indonesia under a brand of education that is responsive to the needs, resources, and aspirations of first-generation college students from low-income households.

PHINMA Education began its venture into the education industry by acquiring PHINMA Araullo University in 2004, piloting the non-traditional approach to learning that aims to strengthen academic programs. Since then, they have exemplified their quality education, with Southwestern University PHINMA recently dominating the Optometrist Licensure Exam.
