SUMMARY:INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation and Technology | August 2025
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Future-Ready Higher Education: Innovation with Equity in the Bagong Pilipinas  \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Shirley C. Agrupis\, PhD  \n\n\n\nThe fourth installment of the INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation\, and Technology was convened on August 18\, 2025\, at SEAMEO INNOTECH’s LB Soriano Hall in Quezon City\, with proceedings simultaneously broadcast live via Facebook.

Guest speaker Dr. Shirley C. Agrupis\, Chairperson of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED)\, delivered a comprehensive presentation entitled “Future-Ready Higher Education: Innovation with Equity in the Bagong Pilipinas.” Her address underscored the urgent need to align education with labor market demands\, resolve the growing mismatch between graduate competencies and industry needs\, and ensure that higher education fosters meaningful employment and drives national development.  \n\n\n\nDr. Agrupis introduced CHED’s ACHIEVE Agenda (2025–2030)—a seven-point strategic blueprint designed to transform Philippine higher education through the pillars of innovation\, equity\, and collaboration.

At the same time\, she emphasized reforms to harmonize higher education with the Sustainable Development Goals\, broaden access through flexible lifelong learning\, and strengthen global competitiveness. At the core of her message was a call to collective action: for educators\, policymakers\, industries\, and communities to work together in shaping a resilient\, inclusive\, and future-ready higher education system—one that equips every Filipino learner with the skills\, values\, and vision to thrive in an equitable and progressive Philippines. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nResources\n\n\n\n\nPresentation

SUMMARY:INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation and Technology | July 2025
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Key Findings from the 2024 Functional Literacy\, Education and Mass Media Survey (FLEMMS)  \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Usec. Claire Dennis S. Mapa\, PhD  \n\n\n\nThe third installment of the INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation\, and Technology took place on July 31\, 2025\, at SEAMEO INNOTECH’s LB Soriano Hall in Quezon City\, and was streamed live on Facebook. Continuing the series’ mission to connect research\, policy\, and practice\, this session turned the spotlight on the 2024 Functional Literacy\, Education and Mass Media Survey (FLEMMS)—a landmark national study led by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) on how Filipinos learn\, adapt\, and thrive in an ever-changing society. With literacy as the foundation for inclusive growth and innovation\, the seminar underscored how data can power education reforms and lifelong learning opportunities across the Philippines.  \n\n\n\nGuest speaker Usec. Claire Dennis S. Mapa\, PhD\, National Statistician and Civil Registrar General of the Philippine Statistics Authority\, walked participants through key findings of the 2024 FLEMMS. He shared encouraging gains in basic literacy—now defined to include reading\, writing\, and computation—as well as functional literacy\, which for the first time measures comprehension. At the same time\, he pointed to urgent challenges: persistent gaps across regions\, age groups\, and provinces\, and a noticeable divide in comprehension skills. Looking ahead\, he highlighted groundbreaking additions to the survey\, including digital literacy and ICT skills modules\, which will soon reveal how Filipinos navigate information\, collaboration\, and problem-solving in a digital world. His presentation reminded participants that behind every statistic lies an opportunity to design smarter policies\, empower communities\, and ensure that no learner is left behind.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nResources\n\n\n\n\nPresentation

SUMMARY:INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation and Technology | June 2025
DESCRIPTION:Theme: How Do You Solve a Problem Like AI?  \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Atty. Ira Paulo Pozon \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe second installment of the INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation\, and Technology was held on June 30\, 2025\, at SEAMEO INNOTECH\, Quezon City. Continuing its mission to foster collaborative learning across research\, policy\, and practice\, this session focused on a timely and pressing topic—Artificial Intelligence (AI)—and its growing influence on education and society. With AI increasingly shaping the way we live\, work\, and learn\, the seminar emphasized the need for a balanced understanding of its potential and pitfalls\, especially within the context of Southeast Asian education systems. The event brought together scholars\, practitioners\, and decision-makers to reflect on how education systems can evolve amid fast-paced technological change.  \n\n\n\nAtty. Ira Pozon\, SEAMEO INNOTECH’s Manager for Legal\, Policy\, and Quality Management\, delivered the keynote presentation titled “How Do You Solve a Problem Like AI?”. Framing AI not as a threat but as a powerful tool\, he walked participants through the history and acceleration of educational technologies\, the rapid growth in AI investments\, and the ethical questions these advancements raise. He emphasized that while AI can enhance learning through personalization and automation\, it can never replace critical human traits such as judgment\, creativity\, and empathy. With references to emerging risks such as misinformation and deepfakes\, Atty. Pozon called for strengthened digital literacy\, ethical use of AI\, and pedagogical innovation—including revisiting traditional assessments to encourage real-world application and critical thinking. His talk resonated strongly with the audience\, offering a thoughtful\, clear-eyed perspective on how educators and institutions can embrace AI meaningfully and responsibly.

SUMMARY:INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation and Technology | May 2025
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Investing in Future Innovators: Reforms to Prepare for Knowledge Economies  \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Mr. Zafer Mustafaoğlu \n\n\n\nThe inaugural INNOTECH Seminar Series on Education\, Innovation\, and Technology\, held on May 14\, 2025\, at SEAMEO INNOTECH\, Quezon City\, served as a timely and strategic platform to explore the intersection of research\, innovation\, and policy in an increasingly digital and interconnected world. As societies undergo rapid transformation driven by technological advancement\, sectors such as education\, industry\, healthcare\, agriculture\, and governance face both immense opportunities and complex challenges. Recognizing this\, the seminar aimed to bridge the gap between research and practice\, particularly in developing countries where the systematic dissemination and application of research findings remain limited. By fostering cross-sector collaboration and dialogue\, the seminar sought to support evidence-based policymaking and the co-creation of solutions that respond to real-world needs.  \n\n\n\nA highlight of the event was the keynote presentation by Mr. Zafer Mustafaoğlu\, Country Director for the Philippines\, Malaysia\, and Brunei at the World Bank\, titled “Investing in Future Innovators: Reforms to Prepare for Knowledge Economies.” His talk emphasized the urgent need for education systems to adapt and evolve in response to the demands of a knowledge-based and innovation-driven economy. With over 50 onsite participants and more than 100 joining online\, the seminar brought together a diverse group of stakeholders—including educators\, researchers\, industry experts\, policymakers\, and development partners—underscoring the event’s role as a collaborative platform for sharing ideas\, showcasing innovations\, and exploring interdisciplinary approaches to inclusive and sustainable development.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nResources\n\n\n\n\nPresentation
