Online Education Community Page Launched for Students and Other Stakeholders – Manila Bulletin

To spark meaningful and inspiring conversations to enhance learning on digital platforms, a new online education community that promotes inclusive, accessible and safe learning solutions for Filipinos has been launched.

Dubbed ‘This isKwela’, the new online education page was launched by Globe and accessible on Facebook.

The new Facebook community is a hub that supports learning at different stages of life and provides a new online space for members to meet new friends, learn new information, hone their skills and share their knowledge.

As the community benefits many – from students wishing to complete their formal education to professionals seeking information for work – Globe encourages the public to be part of the educational community as it is open to all ages.

“With more people joining and participating in online communities, Globe aims to create an inclusive social hub that serves as an alternative learning community for anyone interested in pursuing lifelong learning,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe’s Chief Sustainability Officer and Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications.

Besides those in need of up-skilling, the new education community page can even cater to seniors who want to learn more about digital technology and applications.

Experts on key topics are available to help community members such as Angelo Sicat, teacher and creator of practical, easy-to-digest English learning topics on TikTok; Immanuel Maglasang, the man behind the Science Kwela online channel; Cipriano Romeral, Jr., a math expert who lectured for the Teacher Licensure Examination (LET); and teacher Maureen Madiano, a licensed teacher and content creator who teaches basic English and Filipino lessons on various social media platforms.

Globe said “This isKwela” is timely as more people embrace the “new normal” learning through digital platforms, such as online courses, online libraries, and webinars, among others.

“This isKwela” is part of GoLearn which is a unified initiative to help the country achieve 21st century learning.

GoLearn aims to open doors to a better future by promoting lifelong learning and further closing the digital gaps in the Philippine education landscape through access to connectivity, learning platforms and other solutions.
