As the nation comes together to honor the dedication and selflessness of educators, AMA Education System proudly joins the Department of Education (DepEd) in celebrating the culmination of National Teachers' Month. This year’s celebration, which is a grand tribute to teachers, underscores the essential role they play in shaping the countless students across the Philippines for the future.

In line with this, AMA Education System reaffirms its commitment to supporting teachers and providing them with the tools and resources needed to excel in their profession.

Teachers from all over the country enjoyed live performances from various artists, including AMA Education System’s Gen Z influencers, Cloud 7 and their partner artists, Tawag ng Tanghalan’s JM Dela Cerna And Marielle Montellano. Teachers were also given the opportunity to win huge and exciting prizes from various partner companies. 

Among the attendees of this event were various political figures, showing their support and appreciation for our country’s modern heroes. Among these honored guests are President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., accompanied by his wife and first lady, Louise Araneta-Marcos. Also present in the crowd was incumbent DepEd secretary Ho. Sonny Angara, and various congressmen and mayors from NCR. 

“To our teachers, keep shaping our students who will not only face the uncertainties of today, but will also embrace the opportunities of tomorrow. Our future rests in your hands. This Administration trusts that you will help us build the Bagong Pilipinas that we all aspire to achieve,” the President added.

Secretary Angara also addressed the teachers during the event, saying, "Isa po sa unang sinabi niya (President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.) sa akin alagaan natin ang ating mga guro, mahalin natin ang ating mga guro dahil sila ang nasa puso ng ating sistemang pang-edukasyon (One of the instructions the President gave me was to take care of our teachers, to love our teachers because they are the very heart of our education system)”. 

As the country continues to celebrate Teachers' Month, AMA Education System stands in solidarity with DepEd in saluting the country's teachers for their extraordinary service and unwavering commitment to shaping young minds.

 

AMA Education System (AMAES) continues to demonstrate its commitment to pioneering advancements in technology as Dr. Gerard Ngo, a distinguished figure in the institution, recently participated in an exclusive event organized by Amazon Web Services (AWS). This invitation-only event, designed to highlight AWS's latest technological developments, underscores the strong relationship between AMA and AWS, built on innovation and a shared vision for the future of cloud computing.

 

A Platform for Technological Innovation

This event is a gathering of industry leaders and pioneers, all of whom were keen to explore the newest capabilities that AWS has brought to the forefront of cloud integration and the use of AI in various systems and situations. As one of the pioneers in adopting these state-of-the-art technologies, AMAES' presence at the event speaks volumes about the institution’s commitment to staying ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving landscape of education technology.

 

Dr. Gerard Ngo, who represented AMAES at this prestigious event, had the opportunity to engage with AWS's latest developments firsthand. He noted how AWS's cloud capabilities are transforming the way educational institutions like AMA can deploy new technologies and streamline their operations. Aside from that, AMA is the first to use and integrate AI, the “bedrock” for AWS, for its students and employees on two (2) different service systems.

 

AMA's Strategic Partnership with AWS

AMAES has long been a frontrunner in integrating cloud technologies into its academic and administrative frameworks. By leveraging AWS’ infrastructure, AMA has enhanced its digital learning platforms, provided scalable resources for students and faculty, and implemented seamless solutions for data management and security.

The institution's early adoption of AWS' cloud solutions has positioned it as a leader in the educational sector, offering unparalleled learning experiences that are both innovative and accessible.

 

The Power of Proof of Concept (POC) Technology

During the event, Dr. Ngo emphasized the importance of AWS's Proof of Concept (POC) technology, which allows institutions to rapidly test and validate new ideas. POC technology is invaluable in helping us develop and refine our ideas quicker than ever before, according to Dr. Ngo. He also said that this capability not only accelerates innovation, but also ensures that we deliver the best possible solutions for our students and faculty.

 

Looking Ahead

As AMA continues to expand its technological capabilities, the partnership with AWS will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the future of education. The institution's participation in such high-profile events highlights its commitment to embracing the latest advancements in cloud technology, ultimately enhancing the learning experience for thousands of students across the country.
