Cybersafe Learning for Education Project beneficiaries from Tangkalan Elementary Schools and Occidental Mindoro National High School received laptops from the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).
The Cybersafe Learning for Education Project is a component of the DICT's Digital Education Program (DEP) which aims to optimize the use of ICT for the enhancement of cyber-education and promotion of digital literacy.
The project also seeks to develop cybersafe learning hygiene for schools to protect students and teachers from various cyber threats.
“Your DICT commits to continue our intensified efforts to provide for the ICT needs of our public educational institutions—from Internet connectivity to digital education tools for their administrators, teachers, and students—during the new normal,” DICT Undersecretary Jose Arturo C. De Castro said.
“Our goal is to build upon the achievements of former Secretary and Senator Gregorio B. Honasan II to foster an improved educational experience for our students who are currently undergoing blended and online learning,” De Castro added.
Previous beneficiaries of the project's laptop handover include Taytay, Rizal; Muntinlupa City; Malvar, Batangas; and Samar.
