Jennylyn QUINTO
Jenny comes from a simple family in the Philippines where education and learning are much valued. Growing up, she was constantly reminded that the only treasure her parents can give her is education. She followed what she was told, but being exposed in the real world made her realize that completing a bachelor’s degree is not sufficient to be globally competitive.
Currently, Jenny is engaged in academe, as a teaching faculty in the field of Social Sciences. Through this, she hopes that first-hand experience in an academic environment will allow her to determine what is lacking in the country’s education, initiate ways to fill the gaps, and achieve a real “Quality Education in the Philippines."
