PUBLIC school teachers are now equipped with better tools to prepare lessons, use digital teaching resources, and improve classroom instruction, giving Filipino students more engaging learning experiences and greater access to technology as the government expands digital education.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., together with First Lady Louise \u201cLiza\u201d Araneta-Marcos, led the distribution of laptops to public school teachers in Pangasinan on Monday under the Department of Education\u2019s (DepEd) Computerization Program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the turnover ceremony, President Marcos recognized the important role of teachers in shaping students\u2019 knowledge and character, saying the government must provide them with the equipment and resources they need to perform their duties effectively.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cUna sa lahat, nais ko pasalamatan ang lahat ng guro na narito. Alam namin kung gaano karaming oras, lakas at puso ang ibinibigay ninyo sa inyong trabaho. Sa maraming pagkakataon, tumatayo rin kayong pangalawang magulang sa inyong mga estudyante. Kayo ang gumagabay, nakikinig at nagbibigay ng lakas ng loob sa kanila,\u201d the President said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Marcos noted that during School Year 2023-2024, only 16 percent of teachers had government-issued laptops, forcing many to use their personal savings to purchase computers for their work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI know many of you bought your own, used your own salary just to do the work that you have to do. That should not be your burden anymore,\u201d the President said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To address the shortage, President Marcos announced that the government is procuring more than 230,000 additional laptops for teachers nationwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new laptops will enable teachers to prepare instructional materials, develop more engaging lessons, access digital educational resources, and complete school-related tasks more efficiently. These tools will also help them integrate technology into classroom activities, allowing students to develop their digital skills and benefit from more interactive learning experiences.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President emphasized that the procurement underwent the proper process and that the government secured the units at prices below their current market value.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The package includes delivery, a five-year warranty, software, and training.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The procurement also generated government savings of around P1.4 billion, which can be allocated to other education needs. <\/strong><\/p>\n

President Marcos stressed the importance of training teachers to maximize the benefits of the new equipment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWith partners such as Apple and the National Educators Academy of the Philippines, we will help you use these tools in your classrooms so you can make the most out of them,\u201d President Marcos said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Dagupan City, 209 laptops will be distributed to 10 public schools, including 72 units for Dagupan City National High School.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President also called on local government units and private sector partners to continue supporting the government\u2019s efforts to improve digital education.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Marcos said the government is also working to provide reliable internet access to public schools so teachers and students can fully benefit from the new computers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBecause when we provide our teachers with the tools they need for work, we are also ensuring that our children are learning better. We are giving our learners greater opportunities to compete with their peers around the world. And we are ensuring that our learners have a greater chance of winning in life,\u201d the Chief Executive said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Marcos assured teachers that the government would continue providing the resources they need to perform their duties.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to provide whatever resources it is that you need. And we will make sure that every peso entrusted to the government for our children\u2019s education is spent wisely and properly,\u201d the Chief Executive said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President urged teachers to continue guiding and inspiring Filipino students to reach their full potential.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSa bawat batang inyong tinuturuan, may buhay kayong hinuhubog at pangarap na tinutulungang maabot. At sa bawat bata na inyong ginagabayan, hinuhubog din ninyo ang kinabukasan ng ating bayan,\u201d the President said. \u201cSabay-sabay nating patibayin ang pundasyon ng ating edukasyon. Kasama dito ang kinabukasan ng bawat batang Pilipino,\u201d \u00a0he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n
