PwC in the Philippines, through its delivery hub PwC Acceleration Center Manila, donated 200 laptops to the Department of Education to help empower Filipino learners in bridging the digital divide in public schools.

Leading the DepEd delegation was Secretary Sonny Angara, who received the donation on behalf of the department.

"This donation is more than just about technology, it’s a promise to invest in our youth’s potential and a testament to our belief in a future where every student has the right tools to thrive," Sharma said.

"At PwC in the Philippines, we’re proud to work hand-in-hand with the public sector and like-minded partners to bridge the digital divide and contribute to equitable growth."

“This initiative also reflects our commitment to society and directly aligns with one of the three pillars of our Community Impact strategy: Education,” Sharma continued.

“Together with Environment and Health, Education serves as a key focus area where we aim to make a lasting impact. By empowering young learners through access to technology, we are reinforcing our goal of driving meaningful, inclusive progress within the communities we serve.”

The donation was made possible through the support of key education and industry advocates.
