Briones dreams of giving laptops/computers to students for online learning
Department of Education wants to provide laptops and computers to students for online learning as face-to-face classes are still not allowed, according to Secretary Briones.
“Alam natin wala silang laptop at desktop. Ang dream natin tayo ang mag-provide ng laptop, desktop,” Briones said in a public briefing.
Education Undersecretary Nepomuceno Malaluan also said that DepEd is on the process of realigning budget to support the alternative mode of education delivery.
“Nagrere-budget pa kami ngayon kung paano matutustusan ‘yung pag-convert noong materyales ng mga bata na angkop sa silid-aralan, face-to-face learning into, halimbawa, self-learning modules,” Malaluan said.
“Kung television, alam mo naman na kapag TV, kailangan pang may production work doon para ma-convert sa television-based instructions,” he said.
Malaluan also said that they are tapping private sectors for possible additional resources.
“Sa pakikipag-usap din natin sa iba’t-ibang partners…para tignan natin, bukod doon sa mga resources ng gobyerno, ay madagdagan din natin with non-government partners and private sector partners ang ating resources,” he said.
“Para masigurong hindi magiging pabigat doon sa ating mga mag-aaral at saka sa kanilang pamilya ‘yung paglahok dito sa panibagong paraan ng paghahatid ng leksyon,” he added.
