A diploma is not enough to thrive in the modern world. It may sound like sage advice heard from elders countless times, but it’s from a policy note of the Philippine Institute for Development Studies . The government-funded think tank said Filipino graduates “need 21st-century competencies to thrive in adverse circumstances.”
Maria Van Aguilar, parent to a seventh grader in SmartClass, said that her daughter has learned to accomplish school tasks with no supervision. SmartClass goes against spoonfeeding and instead pushes students to take responsibility for their learning. Professionals attest that SmartClass kids are acquiring skills in demand in the modern workplace. In an integrated social studies lesson, SmartClass eighth graders put to use their learnings in programming and history by designing virtual museums. The task was to illustrate facts about the Holocaust through a 3D exhibition.
“Maganda ‘yung homeworks. Very useful in real-world applications,” said Mirasol Dela Cruz, parent to a SmartClass eighth grader. “My son is only 14 years old but he’s already making that kind of stuff.”
