Distance learning helps a Filipino student win the 115th FedEx Express/JA International Trade Challenge

COVID-19 has reshaped the educational system around the world as it transitioned from in-person classes to virtual learning. Students have had to overcome distractions at home, deal with connectivity issues, and learn to stay motivated despite the lack of physical interaction with teachers and schoolmates.    

But Princess Gurrea has proven that learning is not confined to a classroom and that online platforms such as FedEx JA International Trade Challenge, a global competition that nurtures the entrepreneurial spirit and business skills of young students, provide opportunities to expand one’s horizon. Princess is one of the grand prize winners in the recently concluded 15th edition of the competition.
