Radio Still Best ICT Education

MAKATI CITY, Philippines -- Unless universal broadband Internet access becomes available to all Filipinos, traditional technologies such as radio will remain a relevant tool in the delivery of education in remote areas in the country. This was the finding of a foundation helping local communities harness information and communications technology for education and learning.

Ten years after it was established, the Foundation for Information Technology Education and Development (Fit-ED) has also learned that providing Internet connectivity to schools is not always the appropriate option when it comes to implementing ICT for education programs, said Victoria Tinio, executive director of Fit-ED, in an interview.

Fit-ED has been running a project dubbed "Education for All Thru Radio (EFAR)" which has proven to be an effective way of delivering science training to primary school teachers, as well as to communities in remote areas where there is no electricity.

Fit-ED launched this project August 2007 with the Department of Education and Coca-Cola Co. through broadcast networks in the country, added Liezl Formilleza-Dunuan, senior program manager at Fit-ED.

will be available online in the DepEd website immediately after each event – a
first in the history of Palaro’s 60 years.

The DepEd website address is: http://depedschoolsports.wikispaces.com.

“This is a breakthrough in making the Palaro results immediately known to those
who cannot be at the venue physically”, Education Secretary Jesli Lapus said.
Deogracias Genito of DepEd, chair of the Committee on Information,
Communication and Documentation, said the website posting is a big leap
forward from the days when results were known only on the next day.

Best DepEd Teacher now in Abroad

The issue of DepEd CyberEd Project have vanished already.This is usual in every Philippine scandal after failure to raise people support.

Certainly, there are more problems that DepED need to oversee. This thing contribute to failure to handle quality education. What is that? That is low teachers salary. I friend and intelligent teacher of City Science HS shocked me when he chat me that he is now in Canada. He work now as Network Administrator. Leaving his students with uncertainty.

On the next day, another science high school teacher chat me and told me he is now in USA. We are all leaving the DepEd and Philippines. This teacher is so good in web and data base teaching.Advanced teaching his students produced more IT students.

How many more sci tech teachers will leave they student because of salary?

Public school students to study climate

This was contained in a memorandum of agreement signed recently by the
Department of Education (DepEd), the Presidential Task Force on Climate Change (PTFCC) and the National Power Corporation (NPC).

"Our children will inherit the earth from us," Education Secretary Jesli Lapus said. "We must make sure that this inheritance is in great shape for them to cherish."
