Capitol will give 10 PCs each to Cebu’s public high schools

-

All public high schools in the province of Cebu will soon have 10 computer units each, provided that the schools concerned already have a “computer laboratory, an electrical line and a means of connectivity”.

Through an evaluation process, the Department of Education will determine which schools will be given first as the DepEd has to find out first which schools have complied with the abovementioned requirements.

After 2,000 units of Information Technology-related equipment arrived from the United States recently, the second batch of computer distribution is scheduled to take place next week.

The 1,500 computer units and 500 units of scanners and printers were purchased from World Computers, Inc. in cooperation with the Peace Corps Volunteers.

Distribution of said equipment is part of Governor Gwendolyn Garcia’s 12-point program on Information and Communications Technology which aims to complete the targeted 10 computers for each public high school in the province.

The province has a total of 202 public high schools with 120,344 students for school year 2007-2008.

The ICT Program is in partnership with the Gearing-up Internet Literacy and Access for Students Program and the Central Visayas Information Sharing Network.

GILAS provides connectivity through servers and Internet access, while CVISNET covers repairs and other technical assistance.

Last year, the provincial government distributed 300 computers to 17 towns. — Mitchelle L. Palaubsanon/MEEV
