Globe, in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) and local government units, is supporting the continued expansion of Ayala Foundation’s CENTEX Digital Education program, reinforcing a shared commitment to improving access to quality digital learning for Filipino learners.
The program introduces a “High Touch, High Tech” approach to education—combining digital modules, in-person coaching, and Professional Learning Communities. This enables teachers to use digital tools and real-time data to deliver targeted instructional support based on students’ actual learning needs.
CENTEX Digital Education is built on the belief that technology alone is not enough. Meaningful improvement requires a strong support system anchored in real-time data—allowing instruction to be adjusted in a timely, responsive way for each learner, and sustained through active community engagement.
Proven impact in pilot implementation
In its pilot phase in San Marcelino, Zambales, the program recorded a 13.8 percentage point improvement in math learning outcomes among students in treatment schools compared to control schools—achieved within just 12 weeks.
“Learning improves when technology is paired with care, guidance, and accountability,”
said Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer at Globe.
“CENTEX Digital Education reflects our commitment to help teachers lead confident digital classrooms and ensure students learn at the right level, not just move through the system.”
Empowering teachers, improving student outcomes
The program empowers educators to become confident, data-driven mentors capable of addressing individual learning needs. It helps build a thriving learning community for both teachers and students while exposing learners early to digital tools that foster future-readiness and confidence.
“CENTEX is about helping students learn better by supporting the teachers who guide them,”
said Tony Lambino, President of Ayala Foundation.
“By strengthening teacher capacity and using data to inform instruction, we help teachers differentiate learning and provide support that responds to each student’s needs.”

Through this partnership, Globe continues to champion digital inclusion in education, helping ensure that no Filipino learner is left behind in today’s rapidly evolving learning landscape.
