In a bid to bridge the gap in education, Epson Philippines has inked a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Department of Education (DepEd) under the Adopt-A-School Program.
The initiative aims to bolster public education by providing essential resources, cutting-edge equipment, and learning materials to selected institutions.
Two schools—Oranbo Elementary School and Demetrio Tuazon Elementary School—have been handpicked by DepEd to kickstart this transformative journey. Epson Philippines has provided the two schools with state-of-the-art projectors, printers enabled by Epson’s heat-free technology, and compact scanners.
“We believe that technology plays a crucial role in shaping the future of education, and we are committed to providing sustainable and innovative solutions that will help students learn better,” said Masako Kusama, President and Director of Epson Philippines.
The signing ceremony was held at Epson Philippines’ headquarters in Pasig, attended by Kusama, Director Margarita Ballesteros of the DepEd-Partnerships Service-Adopt a School Program Secretariat, School Head Shirley Alambra from Demetrio Tuazon Elementary School, and School Head Diosdado Manubag from Oranbo Elementary School.
Epson and DepEd believe that using technology in teaching and learning gives teachers and students more access to resources and opportunities that were previously beyond their reach.
The partnership with DepEd is not the first time Epson Philippines has contributed to the advancement of education in the country. The two organizations previously collaborated in a multi-year sponsorship project called the Epson’s Gift of Brightness program, which equipped deserving, underprivileged schools in the country with Epson innovations such as printers, projectors, scanners, label printers, document cameras and a supply of inks and cartridges. DepEd assisted in selecting several beneficiary schools for the program.
