Free tools that bring world-class education to 25 million public school students in the Philippines
The Philippines consistently ranked at the bottom of international education assessments. We refuse to accept this as the status quo.

THE CHALLENGE

A crisis decades in the making
A crisis decades in the making
The Philippines performed poorly in the 2018 and 2022 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) assessments, prompting a government education crisis declaration. Long-standing governance issues, misaligned responsibilities, and insufficient funding have left learners without basic literacy and numeracy capabilities.

CAN'T READ AT GRADE LEVEL
The Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics study (2019) found that 90% of grade 5 students failed reading proficiency standards — unable to comprehend age-appropriate material. This foundational gap limits all later learning, widening educational disparities and restricting future employment and income opportunities.

60+ hrs
WORKED WEEKLY BY 25% OF TEACHERS
Filipino educators work approximately 52 hours weekly; over 25% exceed 60 hours. Despite Department Order 002 mandating administrative removal, more than half retain these responsibilities due to insufficient non-teaching staff. Paperwork regularly displaces actual instruction time.

Students advance without mastering fundamentals, creating compounding disadvantages that affect national cohesion and economic prospects.
OUR APPROACH
OUR APPROACH
01
Bridge the Resource Gap
Bridge the Resource Gap
Equip classrooms with curated, personalized educational pathways, ensuring every learner thrives in the subjects they need the most support in. AI can adapt to each student's pace, filling gaps that a single teacher managing 40+ students cannot address alone.
02
Reclaiming Teacher Time
Reclaiming Teacher Time
Imagine if teachers spent less time grading, filling forms, and managing paperwork — and more time doing what they do best: teaching and inspiring students in the classroom. AI can automate the administrative burden that currently consumes over half of a teacher's work week.
03
Data-Driven Interventions
Data-Driven Interventions
Move beyond post-exam reactions. Technology can provide deep insights that help identify both struggling and gifted learners long before they fall behind — enabling teachers and administrators to act early, not after it's too late.

In 2025, Perty read a GMA News article about the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and learned that the Philippines ranked near the bottom. He wanted to do something about it. Drawing on his experience as a software engineer with Cisco Systems Inc. (1995–2005) and his track record of founding, joining, and selling startups, he shifted the focus of his Virtual Reality (VR) company to work full time on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for education.

Enzo attended a presentation by Perty, was struck by the scale and complexity of the challenges facing the Philippine education system and decided to join the mission. Bringing over a decade of experience at Shell Shared Services (Asia) B.V. (2010-2022) and his Bachelor of Arts (AB) in Psychology background, he's now working to identify where AI can make a real impact on the issues EDCOM2 laid out — and making that case to the people who can act on it.
