The Commission on Information and Communications Technology – Human Capital Development Group (CICT-HCDG) chose the Aklan State University to lead in the implementation of iSchool in Aklan and nearby provinces. Dr. Roberto Saladar, ASU ICT Director, completed the onsite evaluation of the seven public high schools assigned to the ASU last month.
According to Dr. Saladar, the iSchool project aims to bring cyber learning to every high school in the island. Included in the project is providing the pilot schools with 20 sets of computer, two air conditioning units, and a one year free internet subscription.
The pilot beneficiaries are from Aklan, Capiz, Negros Occidental and Romblon provinces which are the Aguinaldo T. Repiedad Sr. Integrated School, Ibajay National High School, Capiz National High School, Manuel Onato National High School, Hima-maylan National High School-San Antonio National High School, Inapoy National High School and Romblon National High School.
As part of the implementation of the iSchool Project, a Project Management Consultative Conference with the Principals of these high school recipients was conducted on September 10, 2007, at the ASU Conference Hall.
The ASU will assign Computer Instructors as Trainers to roll-out the Teachers’ Training on Computer Internet Course (CILC). “It is like a “pay it forward” scheme, where the trained high school teachers, in time, will also train other high school teachers in their locality, said Dr. Saladar. The pilot school will be a training ground to ensure that by year 2010, majority of the high schools in the Philippines will have internet connectivity, increasing the Filipino students’ edge for global competency.
