PLDT, STI ink e-learning partnership

MANILA, Philippines – PLDT’s business-to-business arm has teamed up with educational institution STI to provide students with the necessary connectivity to enable e-learning.

PLDT Enterprise will aid STI’s new learning model which will combine digital tools and online technology with hands-on training  and  on-campus activities.

With the tie-up, PLDT Enterprise said more than 80,000 students of STI across the country would benefit from Smart GIGA Study data plan to ensure their connectivity.

The plan gives STI students access to its pre-defined school apps and allows them to safely study whenever and wherever they are while remaining connected.

“We at PLDT Enterprise aim to support the needs of our modern-day learners so they never stop dreaming amid the current situation. And with this partnership, we fully support STI as they enable their students with connectivity and technologies to continue their education,” said Jovy Hernandez, ePLDT president and CEO and SVP and head for PLDT and Smart enterprise business groups.

STI faced major challenges in planning the continued growth and learning for their students given the community quarantine measures in the past months.

To address these challenges, STI launched its ONE STI learning model which strengthens its existing blended learning mode.

“STI has always been  committed to provide real life education through the development and delivery of superior learning systems, and this partnership with PLDT Enterprise strengthens this mission further especially during this critical time,” STI VP for academics Aisa Hipolito said.

PLDT Enterprise said it aims to redefine the future of learning for Filipino students through its continuous engagements with universities, colleges, schools and learning institutions across the country.

Aside from its support to online learning, PLDT Enterprise is also helping micro, small and medium enterprises get their businesses back on track by offering reliable business and connectivity solutions.
