The education sector needs the best and brightest to lead the way. With this vision, Rex Education and the Private Education Assistance Committee (PEAC) united in 2020 to launch the PEAC\u2013REX Edukampyon Iskolar Para Sa Kinabukasan, a scholarship program dedicated to championing and advancing teacher education by inspiring top learners to pursue the teaching profession.<\/p>\n

Four years later, the mission remains steadfast: to cultivate the country\u2019s brightest minds into champions of education\u2014integral members of the Edukampyon community. Teachers, being closest to learners, are the ultimate Edukampyons, wielding the power to significantly impact Filipino learners and guiding them toward creating a better future for themselves, society, and nation.<\/p>\n

On Teachers\u2019 Day, October 5, Rex Education and PEAC reaffirmed this commitment with the formal launch of Year 4 of the PEAC\u2013REX Edukampyon Iskolar Para Sa Kinabukasan, in a virtual event titled \u201cA Commitment for the Future of the Teaching Profession: PEAC\u2013REX Edukampyon Iskolar Para Sa Kinabukasan Year 4 Launch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply grateful and excited to be celebrating yet another meaningful milestone with all of you. Parang ang bilis ng panahon. I can hardly believe we are already launching the fourth year of our PEAC\u2013REX Edukampyon Iskolar Para Sa Kinabukasan Program,\u201d said Don Timothy Buhain, Chief Executive Officer of RexEducation and Co-Chair of the scholarship program, during his keynote.<\/p>\n

In his speech, Buhain highlighted the pressing need for meaningful change in the quality of education in the country, especially in light of the recent Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2022 rankings, where Filipino learners ranked 77th out of 81 countries. This alarming statistic underscores the need for education stakeholders\u2014parents, school administrators, teachers, academic publishers, government, the whole nation\u2014to intensify their initiatives, deepen their actions, and unite in uplifting education in the country.<\/p>\n

According to Buhain, this enhancement in education quality hinges on improving teacher quality, which is a primary goal of this scholarship program. \u201cLooking back, this all began with a shared recognition of a vital need. We knew that if we truly wanted to see meaningful change in the quality of education, particularly in teacher quality, we had to act swiftly,\u201d Buhain stated. \u201cIn PEAC, we found a partner whose aspirations for learners and educators aligndeeply with ours. I truly believe we could not have asked for a more fitting collaborator and partner in this endeavor.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Year 4, PEAC and Rex Education are proud to welcome 25 scholars\u2014the most in the program\u2019s still short but fruitful history\u2014in this continuing investment and commitment tothe teaching profession.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough this program, we aim to advance teacher quality by recruiting the best and brightest first-year students who want to pursue the teaching profession\u2014especially in math and science\u2014and grant them scholarships. This is our investment in the future of the profession. What an incredible journey it has been so far. We faced challenges, celebrated triumphs, and shared so many heartfelt moments along the way. Look how far we\u2019ve come,\u201d Buhain remarked.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the PEAC\u2013REX Edukampyon Iskolar Para Sa Kinabukasan program has come a long way and made remarkable strides in just four short years It only continues to grow stronger and has so much more to give, be hopeful for, and accomplish in years to come.<\/p>\n
