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

20
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.

How Do We Know That We are Getting to Where We
Want to Be?
22
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.

23
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

How Do We Get to Where WeWant to Be?
25
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)

  Philippine Public Secondary
• Education system

26
B. Issues

• Role of the Administrator in an ICT Environment
• gt 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
• gt other resources shall be increasingly
  tapped to finance ICT expenditures in education.
• Maintenance of ICT Resources
• gt training of the THE teacher on
  troubleshooting shall be embarked in coordination
  with the
• private service providers.
• Sustainability
• gt 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
• gt A system to develop ICT-based education
  materials shall be undertaken.
