Public school teachers and staff across the country are set to receive free access and training on Canva for Education starting November, following the Department of Education’s (DepEd) partnership with Canva Philippines.

Education Secretary Sonny Angara signed a partnership on Wednesday with Canva Philippines for the rollout of Canva for Education to further bring digital design and creativity into Filipino classrooms and support teachers with user-friendly tools for more interactive learning.

During the ceremonial signing, Sec. Angara was joined by Her Excellency HK Yu PSM, FCPA (Aust), Australian Ambassador to the Philippines, Ms. Yani Hornilla-Donato, Canva Philippines Country Lead, and Ms. Maisie Littaua, Marketing and Content & Discovery Lead of Canva Philippines

Amb. Yu lauded the speedy action of Sec. Angara’s team on the partnership on Canva for Education, which will give our learners and educators the tools for 21st century learning.

“What I didn’t expect was how quickly it was going to happen under Secretary Angara’s leadership. It was literally only few months ago when he was first appointed that I called on him to emphasize how Australian government will continue to support in improving your education system,” Amb. Yu said.

Canva for Education is an all-in-one visual communication platform that’s 100% free for all K-12 schools, teachers, and students. With it, teachers and students can access all the benefits of Canva’s premium features, empowering them to create, collaborate, and communicate visually.

“The President himself said in his SONA that classrooms should be incubators of creativity and innovation. With this partnership, we’re building those incubators, one design at a time,” Sec. Angara said.

Under the phased rollout, select teachers and central office staff will benefit from the pilot training using Canva’s design platform using their official DepEd email. It will also be rolled out to the 17 regions starting January 2025.

With Canva for Education, teachers and students alike will have access to thousands of templates, interactive presentation tools, and design resources—all for free.

Ms. Yani Hornilla-Donato, Canva Philippines Country Lead, expressed excitement over the partnership, noting that this collaboration would help teachers and learners embrace digital and design literacy.

“Visual communication is fast becoming a must-have skill in today’s workplace, and it’s time for classrooms in the Philippines to fully embrace the power of digital and design literacy. Through our partnership with DepEd, we’re empowering teachers and students with the tools and technology they need to spark creativity and collaboration. We’re so excited for DepEd’s support in this rollout, and we can’t wait to see how this empowers Filipino teachers and students nationwide,” Hornilla-Donato said.

To access Canva for Education for free, teachers and staff can log in at www.canva.com using their DepEd email address. To know more about the initiative, please access the dedicated DepEd Resource Hub in Canva at http://canvaph.com/deped-resourcehub.
