About Thames International
Thames International started in 1999 as the Philippines’ first international college offering UK-based programs. This evolved to the Twinning Program that is still running today. This is where students take the first two(2) years in the Philippines and their final year in the UK, Australia or Singapore to finish their bachelor’s degrees. Just like before, you can receive a quality foreign degree that is flexible and affordable.
In 2005, the school was also the pioneer in entrepreneurship education when the Entrepreneurs’ School of Asia (ESA) was opened. The ESA brand has reverted back to Thames International, but the innovative entrepreneurial education continues.
In 2018, recognizing the need to further enhance its capabilities, Thames International began its transformation in providing blended and online education. Thames International’s heritage as a non-traditional academic trailblazer allowed a seamless transition to a 100% online system during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
As an organizing partner of Heroes 2021, EduRescue is committed to saving education because...education saves.
As one of the pioneers of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for teachers in the Philippines, EduRescue uses the concept of Rescue Operations to preserve and uplift the quality of Education. This means we have preparedness, prevention, response, recovery and mitigation programs for the education industry.
The EduRescue School for Teachers is a partnership between Nova Schola Tanauan and EduRescue as a response to the COVID19 pandemic. The goal of the EduRescue School for Teachers is to rescue the frontliners of education from challenges - just like the modality shift this pandemic requires. Our emergency first response is to provide Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for teachers and help them effectively transition to the new normal in education. The methodologies in online learning of EduRescue are modeled after the experience of founders Jed & Lesley Santos from managing Nova Schola Tanauan.
EduRescue School for Teachers offers FREE self-paced online training for teachers. With over 12,000 enrolled teachers, EduRescue courses have a 95% satisfaction rate from teachers.

About AKADASIA Singapore
Akadasia is a Singapore based mission driven EdTech business that aims to democratize education for all by helping institutes in Asia, ease the journey of digital transformation in three simple steps:
:: Digital Competence - Where we can up-skill teachers on how to create engaging learning content for their students (pedagogy training) and on how to use digital technology tools to deliver lessons online (technology training)
:: Digital Usage - Once the teachers have been up-skilled, we then provide them with free access to FREEJOO, a full featured learning management platform which includes the ability to conduct both synchronous and asynchronous classes
:: Digital Transformation - This is where true digitisation occurs. This is when users begin to experiment and innovate with the digital tools they have available to them. This innovation results in exciting and creative ways to use these new technologies in order to enrich the environment.
