Tsuneishi said his company is thrilled to see Tofas support students in the Philippines.

“Our goal is to equip teachers with insights to better address the learning needs of every student,” he said.

Tofas allows teachers to assess students’ calculation and problem solving skills accurately, providing valuable data to tailor instruction according to each student’s needs.

“By highlighting strengths and pinpointing areas needing improvement, Tofas also fosters better communication among teachers, students, and parents, creating a support system that encourages motivation and academic progress,” the DepEd said in a statement.

It would also promote student wellbeing by offering teachers and parents clear insights into each learner’s mathematical journey, which could lead to enhanced engagement in mathematics and computer programming.
