DepEd Launches AI Centre for Education
The Manila Times | 25th February 2025
THE Department of Education (DepEd) launched the Education Center for artificial intelligence (AI) Research (E-Cair), aiming to drive innovation in Philippine education through AI-powered solutions that are aligned with its Five-Point Reform Agenda.
This initiative builds on the pioneering efforts that Cair has started in 2024. Under DepEd's leadership, E-Cair will sustain, deepen and expand the Center's mission to advance AI capabilities in the Philippine education sector — a critical area where AI can have the greatest impact.
As the first hub for AI research in education in the Philippines, E-Cair will focus on revitalizing basic education by developing AI-driven tools that enhance teaching, learning and school administration.
This realizes President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s commitment to modernizing the education sector, ensuring Filipino students gain access to quality, technology-driven learning that meets global standards.
