Rex Education (REX) marked its 75th anniversary at the Annual Educators’ Congress (AECON) 2025, held at the Gallio Events Hall in Parañaque.
Nearly 1,000 educators, school leaders, and stakeholders attended the two-day event, which focused on addressing key educational challenges through insightful discussions and knowledge-sharing.
In his opening remarks, REX COO Roger John Y. Fontelera noted that it is not a one-size-fits-all approach that is essential to education.
“This year’s AECON isn’t about giving ready-made solutions. Instead, it’s about creating a space for reflection, learning, and collaboration. We want to provide you with stepping stones — resources, strategies, and ideas — that you can adapt to meet the specific needs of your schools, communities, and learners,” Fontelera said.
Education Undersecretary Peter Irving Corvera delivered a keynote address emphasizing the urgency of preparing Filipino learners for an increasingly digital world. He reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to developing future-ready learners by integrating technology, enhancing critical thinking, and strengthening public-private collaborations.
One key session featured a panel discussion with education experts and policymakers. Dr. Edizon Fermin, vice president for academic affairs at National Teachers College, moderated the discussion that focused on improving learning outcomes in the Philippines.
It emphasized evidence-based policy decisions, stronger accountability among education leaders, and the importance of authentic assessments to accurately measure student progress.
On the second day of AECON, REX CEO Don Timothy Buhain introduced the Symphony of Learning Solutions, a suite of educational resources supporting lifelong learning, from early childhood to professional development. This initiative highlights REX’s commitment to integrating assessment, intervention, and enrichment for educators and learners.
The Symphony of Learning Solutions includes lesson exemplars, learning instruments, digital platforms like Schoology, and targeted assessments to ensure well-rounded education at every stage.
Reaching 75 years is a testament to Rex Education’s dedication to every learner and educator it has served.
In his message of gratitude, REX chairman and president Dominador Buhain thanked all the Edukampyons saying, “Seventy-five years, and our work is not yet done. The future demands more from us, and we accept that challenge with open hearts and minds. We vow to continue listening, learning, and innovating to provide high-quality learning solutions for every Filipino learner.”
As Rex Education looks beyond 75 years, its commitment remains — to be the trusted partner of every Filipino educator, school, and learner, fostering lifelong learning for generations.
