I don’t think we’ve stressed it enough: Not every student has access to online education. Although we acknowledge the need to make changes in our system to address the “new normal,” it’s just not fair for students who are willing to learn but can’t afford the requirements of blended learning.
Fortunately, various non-government organizations are stepping up to help our underprivileged students. For one, Ayala Museum is launching its “Get Access, Give Access” fundraiser campaign which aims to help “bridge the digital divide” in the country.
It is in support of Ayala Foundation’s Students Online Access Program, which provides grantees online access allowance for a year.
With this campaign though, donors will get something in return when you donate a specific amount: access to Ayala Museum’s virtual banner projects such as History Comes Alive with Ambeth R. Ocampo and The Rush Hour Concert with the Manila Symphony Orchestra.
