Globe and Ayala Foundation launch CENTEX Digital Education wallet on GlobeOne to bridge learning gaps in public schools

Globe, alongside the Department of Education and local government units, is supporting the continued expansion of Ayala Foundation’s CENTEX Digital Education program, reinforcing a shared commitment to improving access to quality digital learning for Filipino learners. The program introduces a “High Touch, High Tech” approach to education, combining digital modules, in-person coaching, and Professional Learning Communities — enabling teachers to use digital tools and real-time data to deliver targeted instructional support based on students’ actual learning needs.

CENTEX Digital Education is built on the belief that technology alone is not enough, and that meaningful improvement requires a strong support system anchored in real-time data — so instruction can be adjusted, timely, and responsive to each learner and sustained by community engagement. In its pilot phase in San Marcelino, Zambales, the program showed a 13.8 percentage point improvement in math learning outcomes among students in treatment schools compared to control schools within just 12 weeks.

“Learning improves when technology is paired with care, guidance, and accountability,” said Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer at Globe. “CENTEX Digital Education reflects our commitment to help teachers lead confident digital classrooms and ensure students learn at the right level, not just move through the system.”

The program empowers educators to become confident, data-driven mentors who can address individual learning needs, helping build a thriving, learning community for both teachers and students.. It also exposes students early to digital tools that build future-readiness and confidence in learning.

“CENTEX is about helping students learn better by supporting the teachers who guide them,” said Tony Lambino, President of Ayala Foundation. “By strengthening teacher capacity and using data to inform instruction, we help teachers differentiate learning and provide support that responds to each student’s needs.”
