THE Gokongwei Brothers Foundation recently kicked off its 30th anniversary celebration by highlighting its thrust of promoting science, technology, engineering and mathematics education in the Philippines, with the belief that this is the way to build the future.
With its long-standing commitment to support the growth of STEM learners, GBF offers different scholarship programs for students in high school, technical-vocational , and college. Another one, the “Next Gen Scholarship for Excellence,” extends support for college education of children or siblings of Gokongwei Group employees.
Valencia shared that because of the employment opportunity by “Iskolar…,” she was able to land a job. She realized how far she has come, as her dreams for her family and herself are suddenly materializing. These, according to her, will contribute to raising their quality of life.GBF believes the future of STEM education will be driven by the quality of STEM teachers. Thus, the foundation is now prioritizing elevating the quality of teachers through professional development.
“My decision to become a teacher was influenced by my mother…Seeing children and their hunger and thirst for knowledge, for attention and for love: These helped me develop into a teacher who wants to change lives; a teacher who wants to see [her students become] successful someday,” imparted Moscaya.
In 2021 GBF collaborated with IDEO, a global design-thinking consultancy firm to help create a flagship program that will help improve the quality of STEM teachers in a scalable and sustainable way. It engaged 130 global education experts: local teachers, students, universities, and government agencies. The foundation is currently developing a learning app for educators to provide just-in-time resources and coaching for the improvement of their subject mastery and teaching strategies.
