Manila, Philippines – Starting this school year, senior high school students in the Philippines will have a new option to learn about e-commerce. The Department of Education (DepEd), the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and Thames International School have partnered to include an e-commerce track in the senior high school curriculum.
Why Teach E-Commerce in High School?
The goal of the new track is to prepare students for the digital age and equip them with the skills they need to succeed as entrepreneurs and digital leaders. By learning about e-commerce, students can gain valuable experience in digital marketing, supply chain management, data analytics, and online security.
How Will the Program Work?
The e-commerce track will be piloted in 50 selected schools in the National Capital Region, Central Luzon, and Calabarzon. Around 1,000 students will have the opportunity to learn from Thames International School’s experts.
In the future, the program will be expanded to more schools across the country. Thames International School will also train DepEd teachers so they can teach the e-commerce curriculum themselves.
Benefits for Students and the Economy
The partnership between the DTI, DepEd, and Thames International School is expected to have a significant impact on the Philippine economy. By providing students with the skills they need to succeed in the digital age, the program can help create more jobs and boost economic growth.
Additionally, the program can foster a new generation of entrepreneurs who are equipped to compete in the global marketplace.
