The Studentship Philippines Story
This project started as a class requirement of the Founder under the IS 165.1 Design and Innovation: Introduction to the Development of Creative Projects class at the Ateneo de Manila University in 2016, and was further refined in various classes at the University of the Philippines Open University from 2016 to 2018. The conceptualization process culminated at the International Conference on Open and Distance eLearning (ICODEL) on November 26-28, 2018 in Taiwan.
Utilizing Design Thinking and Innovation tools and techniques, the project surveyed and studied the “life of a student”. Through the study, it was found that among the aspirations of a student are to be happy, to be inspired, to be motivated, to be efficient, and to be excellent as they perform their duties and responsibilities inside and outside the school. While these traits can be acquired and developed through effective student support services and relevant programs, only few universities and schools in the Philippines have the intellectual and physical resources to provide these specialized services. Many students, especially those in public schools and even private schools in the province lack access to these enrichment opportunities. Studentship Philippines longs to solve this problem by utilizing education technology to provide access and bridge learners from various places and contexts to these opportunities.
