With this upgrade, DepEd personnel gain access to an advanced suite of cloud-based tools, including Gmail, Classroom, Meet, Docs, and Sheets, along with expanded Drive storage and AI-powered assistance through Google Gemini. These features support interactive online learning, real-time class monitoring, and plagiarism detection across billions of webpages and over 40 million books.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara emphasized the importance of equipping educators with modern technology, stating, “Empowering our educators means providing them with the right tools to foster innovation, critical thinking, and collaboration in our schools.”

Google for Education’s APAC and EMEA Head Colin Marson reaffirmed Google’s commitment to supporting educational innovation, while Innove Communications, Inc. (Globe) plays a key role as a local Google Workspace reseller.
