The initiative comes as the Philippines continues to expand digital access across its education system, with government programs driving the adoption of information and communications technology (ICT) in schools nationwide.
Samsung, in a company statement, said the program is designed to help schools integrate technology into teaching and learning while equipping educators with the tools and skills needed for digital instruction.
“At Samsung, we believe that technology should empower people. In education, this means creating an ecosystem where teachers feel supported, schools are digitally ready, and students are engaged to learn with confidence,” said Samsung VP and regional head of Mobile eXperience Business –Southeast Asia and Oceania Carl Nordenberg.
“Our vision is to help schools in our region prepare for the future, ensuring every learner feels empowered and every teacher feels supported,” Nordenberg said.
Integrated ecosystem for schools
Samsung for Education brings together education-ready devices, sustained teacher development, and a structured school recognition pathway, each reinforcing the other to help schools move from early digital adoption toward lasting transformation.
Galaxy Tab devices, paired with S Pen, Samsung Notes, and Galaxy AI give teachers and students an intuitive platform for everyday learning. With Samsung Knox embedded across all devices, the program delivers secure, well-managed learning environments, protecting data, supporting fair assessments, and giving educators, students, and parents confidence in digital learning.
Building capability
Through Samsung Learning Hub, the program offers professional development and practical training to help teachers integrate technology into classroom instruction, with structured learning modules, progress-based certifications, and curated content from education partners.
The program includes a professional development support framework delivered to schools for both educators and school leaders, elevating digital competency so teachers can be more productive and create more engaging lesson plans and content for their students.
A pathway for schools
As schools grow in their digital maturity, Samsung recognizes their progress at two stages of development:
• Samsung School acknowledges schools building strong foundations for meaningful digital adoption, with technology woven into everyday classroom practice, on the path to becoming Samsung Digital Lighthouse Schools
• Samsung Digital Lighthouse School recognizes schools with technology more deeply embedded in teaching, learning, and school practice, with certified educators, documented outcomes, and a strong culture of knowledge-sharing
