700M Budget for Internet Access of Public Schools Approved
"The government is allocating P700 million for the provision of internet access to some 7,000 public schools nationwide, in preparation for the country's shift to distance learning in the coming school year amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic."
Ito ang pahayag ni Pangulong Duterte sa kanyang lingguhang report sa Kongreso bilang tugon ng gobyerno sa kasalukuyang pandemic. Aniya, ang Kagawaran ng Edukasyon ay "procuring internet connection for 7,000 schools to increase the total number of public schools with internet access."
Target umano ng proyekto na matapos ito sa loob ng 10 buwan.
Pinapayagan na rin ang mga guro na maiuwi sa kanilang tahanan ang mga computers at iba pang kagamitang elektroniko ng paaralan upang magamit sa blended learning.
Idinagdag din ng pangulo na ang Department of Information and Communications (DICT) ay nakipag-partner sa " leading teacher education institutions" upang magsagawa ng nationwide Digital Training Program.
