Jose Maria College (JMC) is a private, non-sectarian school in Davao City, has recently sealed a partnership with telecommunications giant, Huawei to keep up with the latest innovations that technology can offer to today’s education. Held during a virtual event last 06 July 2021, an agreement to pursue the fifth industrial revolution of educational technology was inked between the two institutions.
Through this partnership, students will soon be able to access the most modern educational tools such as state-of-the-art Learning Management Systems (LMS), Virtual Laboratories, Virtual Reality, Smart Campus, etc.
According to Ken Sentorias, Information and Communications Technology Office (ICTO) Director of JMC, the opportunities are limitless because both JMC and Huawei are on the same page of commitment and that is to deliver the latest educational technology.
It can be noted that the Philippines is among the countries that are still in the third industrial revolution of educational technology. Students from developed countries such as Japan, China, and the United States are currently the only ones experiencing the fifth industrial revolution.
However, JMC believes that this partnership will bring the institution a step closer to realizing its goal of delivering quality education through the use of technology.
“We are planning the best for the students. And next year, we are going to announce something really great,” according to Sentorias.
