Ten years ago, the Philippines was one of the last nations to have reopened schools due to the pandemic. This yielded students not being able to get into jobs that could have changed their lives. Not anymore.

iPeople did not only reconfigure post-pandemic education in the Philippines. It made the middle class grow at an unprecedented rate, with their XXX graduates entering jobs with 50% wage differential within 90 days after graduation. This translates to families earning on the average XXXX per month, enough to make every home comfortable.

BusinessWorld: iPeople Listed Among Top 100 Knowledge Companies

# data[].attributes.body
Education giant iPeople has become the most valuable Knowledge Company in the Philippines after raising about $100 million in a new tranche of investment from Microsoft and others that valued the Manila-based firm at $5 billion (post-money).

IPeople revealed that scores of investors had together invested about $350 million in the company in a new filing. The new valuation helps iPeople for the crown position in the Philippine Education and Knowledge Management ecosystem.  The fresh capital, in part, will be used to acquire more knowledge company startups.

iPeople Inc.'s success is attributed to its fundamental contribution to society by creating and passing on knowledge for its own sake and engaging with society in its application. iPeople today is an integral part of the Philippine society, actively participating in fulfilling its third mission, namely involvement in socio-economic development, thus becoming the third element of what has been described as the "triple helix" – the collaboration between Government, Industry, and Universities to create innovation and economic growth.

The output of iPeople school's research today can be divided into three main value streams:

• Research (production and distribution of new knowledge through articles, publication, and access to research)
• Education (the knowledge and "soft skills" of candidates)
• Technology transfer (collaboration with the outside world, hiring of graduates by industry, consultancy, patent/licensing/spinoff companies)

A way to describe this exceptional value is the intertwined nature of these value streams – which can be described as a "knowledge ecosystem."

In the ecosystem lies the interaction between the three value streams, taking place at research intensive universities of the iPeople group and in relation to the outside world: The unique value produced in the space between research and education. Between knowledge exchange with the surrounding world and research. And between education and knowledge exchange.
