FOR global education-solutions provider Marshall Cavendish Education , the Philippines remains a “great market.”
For Lim, a major reason behind the positive outlook is the launch of the “Basic Education Development Plan 2030” by the Department of Education, aimed at improving the delivery and quality of learning in the Philippines. This will help advance the country’s path toward economic growth, Lim said, as he shared MCE’s observation that education has played a key role in national development.
SC Mardison Corp. is the distributor for MCE’s educational resources, which include a whole suite of textbooks, digital resources and professional development to support schools in implementing quality education. Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University, Xavier University and St. Scholastica’s College are just some of the schools in the Philippines that use such resources.
“They see the success and effectiveness of our educational resources, and that’s why they continue to use them,” Crisostomo added. Crisostomo disclosed that SC Mardison Corp. had to find ways to sell them during the pandemic: “Luckily for us, we added digital products to our portfolio.”
