AFTER 18 years of carrying out its life project through education, Phinma Education (www. Phinma. edu. ph) has welcomed more than 95,000 academics into SY 21-22, resulting in an income accumulation of 79% year over year. The organization, comprised of 10 schools in the Philippines and Indonesia, provides more than 110 systems covering the entire educational chain and has a 75% good fortune rate on board exams for new enrollees.
“Only with an intimate understanding of the desires and aspirations of our first-generation underserved scholars can we improve their lives,” said Phinma President and CEO Ramon R. del Rosario Jr. , at a press conference on July 18. Most Phinma Education fellows come from the back of the pyramid and are the first in their families to enter college.
“Our students want a quality education more than ever,” said Dr. Chito B. Salazar, president and CEO of Phinma Education at the same briefing. He continued, “Because we were able to satisfy the desires of our market at a time when the continuity of their education was the most complicated thing for them, we were able to grow our network to the greatest point that ever existed. “
In the 2021-2022 education year, Phinma Education welcomed 95,503 academics, a 31% increase from the 72,746 academics in the 2020-2021 educational year. According to the chief financial officer, Daisy C. Montinola, the accumulation in the lists resulted in a consolidation of revenues of 3,790 million pesos, a year-on-year accumulation of 79%.
The network attributes its good fortune to its ability to continuously learn for its underserved academics over the past two years, when they needed it most.
Launched in 2020, Flex Learning and Remote and Distance (RaD) Learning rely on print media and a strong instructor and peer-to-peer support through cellular knowledge. The first will allow students to return to school once regulations allow, while the moment will be independent at home. Because most of its students couldn’t be online, it partnered with Globe and PLDT-Smart to provide students with mobile data every month.
“Our students learn, no matter what. Their perseverance in the face of so many demanding situations inspires us to better serve them,” said Chief Strategy Officer Trissa M. Menardo.
During the 2022-2023 school year, Flex Learning will transition to a two- to 4-day formula of two-day, 4-day, 4-day face-to-face categories of distance and independent learning. It will distribute the face-to-face categories of the week’s students to meet minimum public fitness standards. Students and their teachers will be assigned to a singles shift to restrict the number of other people on campus. Autonomous modules, choice assessments, simplified commands and, above all, remote training for Flex Learning and RaDLearning will be maintained.
