MANILA, Philippines – As schools transition to a flexible remote learning arrangement where lessons will be delivered via online platforms, Makati-based school iAcademy has moved to promote a safer digital space for students and the whole school community.

“In this day and age, we source out most of information via digital platforms and because of the current health crisis, schools like iAcademy are challenged to deliver lessons through a flexible remote learning arrangement. Through these series of webinars, we aim to extend our help to our students by ensuring that they are protected, discerning, and knowledgeable in using these online platforms,” said Vanessa Tanco, president and CEO of iAcademy.

On the last week of July, iAcademy will hold another webinar series called SHARE or Students Health in Adapting to Remote Education which aims to foster an alliance among counselors of other schools by sharing counselor-led strategies that will support social connections between students in this new normal.

“Staying true to our mission to provide game-changing education goes beyond our service to our students. Since we are a community of educators, it is through these meaningful discussions where we believe we can foster an alliance with other schools whose purpose is to provide a safe and supportive virtual environment for our students,” Tanco said.
