• ENSURING BENEFITS OF ICT INVESTMENTS: To ensure the

in ICT aspects, such as your ICT literacy skills,
pedagogical settings and the uses of ICT in your
discipline, you can effectively implement the
curriculum and reflect local culture that supports
learning for your learners. This is what the DepEd
has been doing especially in building Internet sites
in the barrios and contextualizing the content of
the lessons.
• RESOURCE CONSTRAINED CONTEXTS: As a developing
country, the Philippine public schools find it
difficult to require learners to bring their own
laptop, smartphones or tablets to be used in the
teaching-learning process. With that, the
department has conducted several updates to
improve the technical support for ICT
infrastructures. Monitoring the software of each
computer, building additional infrastructures to
cater slow Internet speed, and solving electrical
connections were some of the problems that
addressed by the DepEd to maximize the use of
ICT.

By improving these aspects of ICT in education, the

increase of performance among learners and teachers
are likely manifested. A report of the Southeast Asian
