Where Do We Want
to Be?

18
 Goals and Objectives of the ICT in Basic

Education Program
* Deliver quality education that is accessible to all
through the use of appropriate information and
communication technologies

 Undertake a curriculum improvement program focused on the

integration of technology in the different learning areas
 Provide the physical infrastructure and technical support necessary
to make information and communication technology accessible and
useful to learners, teachers, administrators and support staff
 Develop teacher competence in the use of the technology and in the
design, production and use of ICT-based instructional materials
 Ensure the access to the latest developments in ICT and support
research and development
 Promote the use of appropriate and innovative technologies in
education and training
19
B. Thrusts of the ICT in Basic Education

Program
Restructuring of the curriculum to integrate the application
of ICT in teaching and learning

Improvement of the delivery support system of basic

education as to include the use of ICT not as an alternative
delivery scheme, but as a component of multi-channel
learning

Fund generation that explores non-traditional financing

schemes
Retooling of human resources at different levels involving
sub-systems (Central Office, field offices and schools) and
focusing on the different components of basic education.

20
How Do We Know That
We are Getting to
Where We Want
to Be?

21
 A. Policies on the Use of ICT in
Basic Education
 Technology shall be studied first as a separate subject
and then applied in other learning areas as a tool for
learning how to learn.

 An education modernization program shall be undertaken

to equip schools with facilities, equipment, materials and
skills and to introduce new learning/delivery systems
necessary to capitalize on recent technological
developments.

 The participation of other stakeholders in education shall

be generated in the upgrading and modernization of the
public schools especially those in the underserved
provinces.

22
B. Programs and Projects
 DepEd Computerization Program
 2002 Basic Education Curriculum
 Adopt-a-School Program
 Intel Teach to the Future Program
 Customized Med/MS in Teaching IT
 Continuing Studies Via Television
 PCs for Public Schools Project
 Project Link
 IT Centers
 Development of Multi-media Materials
 Computer Education for Elementary Schools
 Eskuela ng Bayan Project
 Educational Television
 Computer Literacy Program for Selected Schools
 Mobile IT Classrooms
 ICT Mediated S & T Learning Program
 Mini Computer Laboratory
 Development of Computer-Based Teaching Modules

23
How Do We Get
to Where We
Want to Be?

24
A. Evaluation
* Survey of Secondary Schools (1998)
- Covered among others baseline information on the schools,
science and mathematics teacher and the extent to which
computers are used for instruction and other purposes

* Second Information Technology in

Education Study (2001)
- Focused on the innovative use of ICT in teaching and learning

* Survey of Information and Communication

Technology Utilization in Philippine Public
High Schools (2001)
- Determined the use of ICT in the Philippine Public Secondary
Education system

25
B. Issues
Role of the Administrator in an ICT Environment
> systematic development program for education managers shall be implemented to
unfreeze the mindset of the principals so as to the use of ICT in education.

Inadequacy of ICT Facilities

> other resources shall be increasingly tapped to finance ICT expenditures in education.

Maintenance of ICT Resources

> training of the THE teacher on troubleshooting shall be embarked in coordination with the
private service providers.

Sustainability
> The Local Government Units shall be increasingly tapped to ensure the sustainability of
the ICT program. The devolution to the LGU of the reasonable share in the
responsibilities to finance the maintenance and operation of the ICT laboratories
shall be hastened.

Dependence on software/courseware provided by the ICT service provider

> A system to develop ICT-based education materials shall be undertaken.
