Achievements: Through the eSkwela Project

1. Managed development of e-modules and e-module guides for DepEd's Alternative Learning System (ALS). To date, 148 e-modules and 88 e-module guides have been developed in collaboration with partner State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) and DepEd, and are now being used at the eSkwela Centers.

2. Mobilized support for the establishment of 95 eSkwela Centers across the country that are being sustained by local partners (LGUs, NGOs, DepEd division offices, private schools, civic groups and local businesses).

3. Trained a total of 1,733 people who would contribute to project implementation, including capability building activities for ALS teachers and officials from DepEd and local partners on ICT-enhanced learning for out-of-school youth and adults.

4. The eSkwela Centers have served an estimated 6,300 out-of-school youth and adult learners since 2007

The eSkwela project was cited by UNESCO through a Certificate of Commendation from the ICT in Education Innovation Awards 2007-2008. It was recently conferred an Honorable Mention by the 2010 UNESCO King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa Prize for the Use of Information and Communication Technologies in Education and a Laureate by the 2011 Computerworld Honors Program.
