In celebration of the 12th anniversary of teacher-focused advocacy program Gabay Guro, PLDT-Smart launched Gabay Guro app at the recent Grand Gathering at Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
The star-studded event was attended by celebrities such as Sharon Cuneta, Gabby Concepcion, Ogie Alcasid, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, Piolo Pascual, and more; over 20,000 teachers from across the country; and Department of Education Secretary Leonor Briones.
The program’s Digital Innovations pillar, the seventh of the core pillars established in 2007 (the other six are classroom donation, scholarships, teachers’ training, livelihood programs, Connectivity and Computerization, and the Teachers’ Tribute), aims to reinforce the digital transformation for Filipino teachers, school leaders, and stakeholders by equipping them with new modes of teaching and the latest technology.
The application for teachers will provide e-learning content and interactive technology as well as ready-to-use online tools that are aligned with the DepEd and CHED curriculum. It will be available before the end of the year.
“Every year, it is our great honor to be able to give back to our teachers through a grand tribute, and we always look forward to continuing this mission and empower them through Gabay Guro’s previously six and now seven core pillars of learning,” said Gabay Guro Chairperson Chaye Cabal-Revilla.
Gabay Guro is bringing the program to Northern Luzon at the Teachers’ Tribute in Ilocos Norte on Oct. 24.
