“Bridge the digital divide.” So goes the slogan of the iSchools project by the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) under the Office of the President of the Republic of the Philippines which is coursed through the Capiz State University (CapSU)’s Management Information Systems (MIS) Office.

One of the flagship projects of Human Capital Development Group (HCDG) under the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT), the iSchools project supports the efforts of the Philippine Government and the Department of Education to incorporate ICT in education in public high schools. The purpose is not only to equip all public high school teachers and students with ICT literacy skills but also to “provide the beneficiaries access to relevant digital content and applications in education which they can use to enhance effective learning.”

PC recycling training
The training allowed participants to learn basic computer skills, computer hardware and computer software installation, PC data backup and PC recycling. More important, teacher trainees were also briefed on electronic waste management and the legal terms and conditions, laws and licenses all related to computer and internet use.

Computer and Internet Literacy Courses (CILC)
Bargo’s technical team facilitated the techno transfer from CICT personnel to the recipients in the public high schools.

The Benefits of iSchool project
Under the iSchools project, each beneficiary was awarded one laptop, one Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) projector, one computer unit each for the use of the school library, faculty room and principal and 16 workstations for the use of the students.
