We are happy to say that we are partnering with Khan Academy Philippines Inc. to bring their services to public schools to improve learning outcomes in Metro 3rd and Bacolod!
We are even happier to say that this is free and fully funded by the CSR of Khan Academy, and that the Philippines is the only country in the world to have this.
Khan Academy now has online materials aligned with the Matatag Curriculum for Grades 4 and 7 Math, offering modules and a chatbot for both students and teachers to use.
The focus is to reach last-mile schools and schools with struggling learners. We in the Third District and Bacolod will work expediently to see that this initiative comes to fruition so that we can improve learning outcomes.
We thank Khan Academy Director for Curriculum and Learning Design Bernadeth C. Daran for presenting their services.
