BITGET CONNECTS 7,300+ STUDENTS ACROSS SIX SCHOOLS IN PHILIPPINES THROUGH BLOCKCHAIN4YOUTH STARLINK PROGRAM

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Dec 15 (Bernama) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has expanded its Blockchain4Youth (B4Y) initiative with a major Starlink deployment that brings high-speed satellite internet to six schools across Surigao del Norte, Siquijor, and Negros Oriental. Bitget has delivered reliable connectivity to more than 7,300 students and over 100 teachers, marking one of the most meaningful digital inclusion efforts in remote island communities in the Philippines.

The program now supports Espoir School of Life and Lasala Integrated School in Surigao del Norte; Apo Elementary School and the Arts & Design Collective Dumaguete in Negros Oriental; and Siquijor State College and Siquijor Provincial Science High School in Siquijor. For many of these schools, this marks the first time they have experienced dependable high-speed internet access, transforming how classes are conducted and how teachers prepare lessons. Several campuses previously relied entirely on printed worksheets due to unreliable or nonexistent internet connectivity.
