MANILA – The Philippines is making significant strides in expanding digital access across its education system, with government programs driving ICT adoption in schools nationwide. As this momentum grows, there is a clear opportunity to deepen impact by equipping teachers with the right tools, training, and support to bring technology into everyday learning.
Samsung Electronics Philippines is launching the Samsung for Education Program, an integrated ecosystem of education-ready devices, teacher development, and school recognition, designed to support schools at every stage of their digital journey.
“At Samsung, we believe that technology should empower people. In education, this means creating an ecosystem where teachers feel supported, schools are digitally ready, and students are engaged to learn with confidence. Our vision is to help schools in our region prepare for the future, ensuring every learner feels empowered and every teacher feels supported,” said Carl Nordenberg, vice president and regional head of Mobile eXperience Business, Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia and Oceania.
An integrated ecosystem for schools
Samsung for Education brings together education-ready devices, sustained teacher development, and a structured school recognition pathway, each reinforcing the other to help schools move from early digital adoption toward lasting transformation.
The foundation: education-ready devices and security
Galaxy Tab devices, paired with S Pen, Samsung Notes, and Galaxy AI, give teachers and students an intuitive platform for everyday learning. With Samsung Knox embedded across all devices, the program delivers secure, well-managed learning environments, protecting data, supporting fair assessments, and giving educators, students, and parents confidence in digital learning.
Building capability: teacher training and professional development
Technology is only as effective as the teachers using it. Through Samsung Learning Hub, the programme provides professional development and practical training to help teachers integrate technology into lesson planning and classroom delivery, with structured modules from foundational basics to advanced strategies, certificates that recognize progress, and curated content from education partners.
Beyond the platform, the program includes a professional development support framework delivered to schools for both educators and school leaders, elevating digital competency so teachers can be more productive and create more engaging lesson plans and content for their students.
Recognizing excellence: a pathway for schools
As schools grow in their digital maturity, Samsung recognizes their progress at two stages of development, each supported with structured guidance, educator resources, and a clear path forward.
• Samsung School acknowledges schools building strong foundations for meaningful digital adoption, with technology woven into everyday classroom practice, on the path to becoming Samsung Digital Lighthouse Schools.
• Samsung Digital Lighthouse School recognises schools with technology more deeply embedded in teaching, learning, and school practice, with certified educators, documented outcomes, and a strong culture of knowledge-sharing.
Supporting the Philippines’ education vision
Through the Samsung for Education Program, Samsung aims to support the Philippines’ efforts to strengthen digital learning and help schools build more inclusive and secure learning environments, supporting the emergence of learning environments where Filipino students can thrive.
