A team of 15 volunteer faculty members from different departments will be training public high school students on Information Communication Technology (ICT) in a 3-month period starting this November.
The training is part of the iSchools Project spearheaded by the Commissions on Information and Communications Technology Human Capital Development Group (CICT) together with partner State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) all over the country.
“IIT is committed to developing the capability of the people in our service area. [They need] to be globally competitive, and to be globally competitive means to be ICT-skilled,” said MSU-IIT ICT Coordinator Emmanuel Lagare.
Project benefits
CICT will allot P100,000 per beneficiary school for training expenses.
The beneficiary schools for Iligan are Iligan City East High School, Iligan City National High School and the MSU-IIT, Integrated Developmental School.
The schools were chosen based on criteria set by CICT. According to the iSchool’s official blog entry from the Learning Resource Center, 189 beneficiaries has been named from Luzon, 68 from Visayas and 63 from Mindanao.
As presented during the stakeholders’ briefing for the SUC volunteers, iSchools Project’s long-term plan by 2010 is to lessen the personal computer to student ratio from 1:300 to 1:50, incorporate ICT in the curriculum and make sure 100% of all Philippine high schools are ICT enabled.
