Business Weeks is an enterprise management training program that gives senior high school students a unique work immersion experience. Based on a computer-assisted simulation game, it enhances students’ theoretical and practical understanding of Finance, Production, Marketing, and Human Resources.
Meanwhile, Checkbox is a gamified assessment portal for grade school and junior high school that develops mastery of subject areas.
Lastly, Diwa Innovation Nation is a Partner Enrichment Program (PEP) that provides educators with opportunities for personal and professional development. Members of Diwa Innovation Nation enjoy free access to the Diwa Innovators Toolbox; they get the latest updates about Continuing Professional Development trainings they can attend; they can earn points by engaging with Diwa online and in-person activities; they can use points to unlock more resources; and they get perks and freebies from Diwa Innovation Nation Advocates.
These efforts reflect Diwa’s commitment to be at the forefront of innovation in education and to move the nation towards progress.
“We at Diwa Learning Systems Inc. are looking forward to the next 35 years because we know that you will continue to support us and choose us to be your partner,” said Mr. Brian L. Belen, Ph.D., Diwa’s President, during his welcome remarks.
He added, “It is in all of you that we get our inspiration to be better at everything that we do. It is our hope that in our similar dream of a better nation, you will continue to choose us so that we can move the nation forward through education, together.”
As they venture into greater heights in the coming years, Diwa promises to continue offering relevant and customizable solutions that make 21st-century learning possible for every Philippine school.
