    This memorandum reiterates guidelines for teachers' use of DepEd devices like desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones for blended learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that DepEd has over 500,000 IT devices already in schools that teachers can borrow, including over 124,000 desktops and nearly 100,000 laptops. A survey found about 11% of teachers lack computers, which is around 93,000 teachers, a number that can be addressed by existing DepEd devices. While providing a laptop for each teacher would require 27 billion pesos of funding, existing devices can be temporarily loaned to teachers for online classes and training during the pandemic.

    OUA MEMO 00-0620-0117


    MEMORANDUM
    30 June 2020

    For: Regional Directors


    Schools Division/City Superintendents
    Heads, Public Elementary and Secondary Schools
    All Others Concerned

    Subject: REITERATION OF GUIDELINES ON TEACHERS’


    USE OF DEPED DEVICES FOR BLENDED LEARNING
    DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC
    ________________________________________________________________________________

    This is to reiterate OUA MEMO 00-0420-0029 dated 08 April 2020,


    Guidelines on the Use of Desktop Computers, Laptops, Tablet PCs, and
    Smartphones at Home During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

    As stated in memo, School Heads may release said devices to teachers for
    use in the conduct of online trainings and online classes during the pandemic
    subject to guidelines.

    To date, DepEd has an inventory of the following IT devices distributed in


    93% of schools nationwide:

    124,939 Standalone Desktop Computers,


    99,548 Laptops, and
    308,150 Tablet PCs.
    ----------
    532,637 Total ICT Equipment already present in schools

    These IT Equipment, delivered to our Schools via the DepEd Computerization


    Program (DCP) in the last five (5) years, may already be issued, and teachers may
    borrow them for use in blended learning. While a total of 1,042,575 computer
    devices are distributed across 44,155 public schools, the remaining number of
    computers (509,938) cannot be lent as they are thin-clients.

    However, it must be emphasized to everyone, that given the limited inventory,


    this measure is only a temporary solution for teachers without devices.

    The Survey on Teachers Readiness for Distance Education undertaken by
    DepEd’s Planning Service between 16-30 April 2020 involving 689,329 teacher
    respondents reveal that only 77,631 or 11% of them do not have desktop or laptop
    computer at home. Applying that percentage to the total number of teachers
    nationwide, it can be estimated that 93,221 of the 847,467 teachers have no
    computer device. That estimate can already be addressed by the number of
    laptops and devices the Department has at the moment.

    The direction is to provide a laptop for each teacher, and for this to become
    a reality, it will require about P27 billion of government funding. Although DepEd
    recognizes and appreciates the fact that a considerable number of teachers use
    their own devices out of their own resources, the provision of government-issued
    laptops still remains the responsibility of the State.

    For information and guidance.
