SUMMARY:INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation and Technology | September 2025
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Empowering STEM Education in Southeast Asia: Mobile Digital Learning\, Immersive Technologies\, and Capacity Building  \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Mr. Brad Ker \n\n\n\nThe INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation\, and Technology was held on September 2\, 2025\, focusing on how digital technologies and capacity building can strengthen STEM education across Southeast Asia. Guest speaker Mr. Brad Ker\, Director of Digital Learning at Labtech International and General Manager of Labtech Academy\, presented “Empowering STEM Education in Southeast Asia: Mobile Digital Learning\, Immersive Technologies\, and Capacity Building.” He emphasized the need to rethink STEM education in response to Education 4.0 and Industry 4.0\, noting that while science and mathematics remain essential foundations\, technology and engineering must be strengthened through practical\, applied\, and industry-aligned learning. The session explored mobile and virtual STEM learning\, artificial intelligence\, extended reality\, digital twins\, and interactive simulations as tools for expanding access and helping learners apply concepts in more engaging and realistic environments. \n\n\n\nMr. Ker stressed that technology alone cannot drive meaningful digital transformation\, highlighting teacher and school leader capacity building as critical to sustaining the effective use of digital tools. He presented a digital STEM framework built around three interconnected dimensions: infrastructure\, which provides devices\, connectivity\, and learning environments; infostructure\, which encompasses digital platforms\, content\, simulations\, and analytics; and infoculture\, which focuses on leadership\, policies\, teacher capacity\, and institutional readiness. He also advocated beginning with gap analysis and pilot implementation\, followed by training\, evaluation\, refinement\, and gradual scaling rather than introducing technology without adequate systems and support. During the discussion\, he underscored the importance of integrating digital approaches into curricula and competency frameworks\, developing teachers and learners as digital champions\, and strengthening links between STEM education and emerging industry needs. Taken together\, the session highlighted that a sustainable regional STEM model must combine access to technology with capable educators\, supportive leadership\, appropriate policies\, and learning experiences that prepare Southeast Asian learners for a rapidly changing world of work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResources\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccess the Full Presentation

SUMMARY:INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation and Technology | September 2025
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Rethinking GenAI Competencies for University Teachers  \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Professor LIM Cher Ping  \n\n\n\nThe INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation and Technology held on September 16\, 2025\, featured Professor Lim Cher Ping\, Chair Professor of Learning Technologies and Innovation and Co-Director of the Global Institute for Emerging Technologies at The Education University of Hong Kong. His presentation\, “Rethinking GenAI Competencies for University Teachers\,” examined how generative artificial intelligence is reshaping higher education\, particularly the ways students construct knowledge\, engage in learning\, and interact with their teachers. He emphasized that GenAI use is increasingly student-driven rather than teacher-prescribed\, requiring universities to move beyond simply allowing or restricting AI and instead rethink learning activities\, assessments\, curricula\, and institutional practices around how students are already using these technologies. \n\n\n\nProfessor Lim presented a GenAI Competency Framework for University Teachers designed to respond to limitations in existing frameworks and provide more actionable guidance for teaching practice. The framework covers four dimensions: GenAI Literacy\, Curriculum/Learning Design\, Teaching and Learning\, and Assessment\, viewed from both teachers’ own competencies and their ability to empower students to use GenAI effectively. Across basic\, intermediate\, and advanced developmental levels\, the framework moves from basic automation toward guided application and\, ultimately\, creative human-AI partnership and knowledge co-creation. He stressed that the goal is not simply for students to learn how to use GenAI or learn with it\, but to “learn how to learn with GenAI\,” strengthening the inquiry\, critical thinking\, self-direction\, and lifelong learning capacities needed in a rapidly changing environment. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nVideo Presentation\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResources\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccess the Full Presentation

SUMMARY:INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation and Technology | September 2025
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Empowering the Nation Through Education and Digitalization: Key Reforms\, Budget Priorities\, and Enabling Strategies  \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Secretary Amenah F. Pangandaman  \n\n\n\nThe INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation and Technology held on September 24\, 2025\, featured Secretary Amenah F. Pangandaman of the Department of Budget and Management (DBM)\, who discussed how public financial management\, education investments\, and digitalization are being used to support the country’s development priorities. Secretary Pangandaman highlighted the proposed FY 2026 National Expenditure Program of PHP 6.793 trillion\, including PHP 1.224 trillion for basic and higher education\, equivalent to 4 percent of the country’s GDP. She outlined investments covering school feeding\, last-mile schools\, alternative learning\, education facilities\, computerization\, additional teaching and non-teaching positions\, state universities and colleges\, and financial assistance for tertiary education. \n\n\n\nSecretary Pangandaman also presented reforms aimed at using technology to improve the transparency\, efficiency\, and accountability of government spending. These include the Public Financial Management Reforms Roadmap 2024–2028 and the Budget and Treasury Management System\, which is intended to support integrated financial management and real-time monitoring of government obligations and disbursements. She also highlighted technology-enabled reforms in government procurement\, fiscal transparency\, and project monitoring\, including the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System\, the DBM Budget Analytics Dashboard\, public blockchain infrastructure\, and Project DIME. Beyond digitalization\, she emphasized the importance of collaboration through Program Convergence Budgeting and open governance initiatives\, underscoring a whole-of-society approach in which government resources\, reforms\, and strategies are directed toward meaningful outcomes for citizens\, particularly young Filipinos. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nVideo Presentation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nResources\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccess the Full Presentation
