ASUS Philippines hosted a Virtual Partnership Recognition Ceremony last December 9, 2021 to formally welcome the next school partner to its education initiative.

Recognized leader in education St. Paul University Quezon City (SPUQC) officially joins the ASUS Edukasyon School Partnership Program as part of its 75th founding anniversary celebration.

SPUQC is a non-profit Catholic university that prides itself for its commitment in forming leaders through integrated and excellent education.

The ceremony was attended by ASUS executives and SPUQC representatives.

“Your goal of providing quality education is what ASUS truly admires and what we will ensure to support through our products and services. I hope that this partnership will provide more equipped learners and teachers from your institutions,” Avila said.

George Su, ASUS Country Manager, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership. “This shows the commitment of two different institutions that have a common goal in mind–that is providing students and teachers better access to digital technologies, especially during these trying times,” Su said.

“I’m looking forward to both ASUS and St. Paul University, Quezon City to work closely together in ensuring we continually provide what is needed by our educators and learners,” Su further shared.

Dr. Helen Rigor, SPUQC Vice President for Academics, warmly welcomes ASUS Philippines to their “Paulinian community of collaborators.”

ASUS Philippines came at an opportune time when SPUQC was on the search for a new suitable and reliable partnership. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit almost 2 years ago, the university was forced to close its gates to its students and transition from on-site to online learning and teaching.

“We at SPUQC believe that by partnering with ASUS, our teachers, students, and other stakeholders are assured that we will be able to have access to the necessary technological hardware and support that will really, truly support the new educational digital landscape of SPUQC,” Dr. Rigor said.

Starting 2021, SPUQC is set to benefit under 3 Edukasyon School Programs, namely School and Institution Program, Teachers and Instructors Program, and Students and Learners Subsidy Program.

These programs provide learning institutions yearly development funds, seminars on the latest technological trends and hardware fundamentals, discounts to product availments, and many others.

As an ASUS Edukasyon School Partner, the New Manila-based university plans to equip their faculty with ASUS solutions this coming 2022. They recently purchased a unit of ASUS ExpertBook B1 to assist them in their excellence programs.

Earlier this year, ASUS Philippines launched the ASUS Edukasyon School Partnership Program to equip and prepare schools and learning institutions like SPUQC with the ongoing digital transformation.
