Batac CITY—To keep abreast with the educational changes and student
needs, a business processing outsourcing (BPO) company at least 10 advanced
computer units to learners of the Baay-Bungon National High School in this city
on August 22, 2018.
The Batac public school is
the latest beneficiary of the continuing distribution of computers to schools
in the province courtesy of Alorica Teleservices Inc., a BPO company based in
San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte.
The computer distribution
program is in support of Ilocos Norte’s full-swing implementation of its
provincewide information and communication technology project, enabling more
learners to have ultimate access to various learning materials available in the
world wide web.
Of the four provinces in
Region 1, Ilocos Norte boasts of its high literate rate of 98.2 based on the
latest statistical record of the Department of Education.
Public schools in the
province are now starting to do away with the traditional paper and pencil
classroom discussion as they try to adopt to the so-called “21st century
model classroom”, featuring advanced computers placed in each table for
students, connected to a central server, and can be viewed in a 3D capable
television.
This way, learners are
expected to excel when they are equipped with state-of-the-art technology for
better learning.
After the distribution,
teachers and students expressed their gratitude for the donation of computers
in their school.
Through a memorandum of
agreement, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan authorized Ilocos Norte Governor Ma.
Imelda Josefa “Imee” Marcos to receive the computers from the BPO company.
Previously, hundreds of
computers were donated to some far-flung schools in the first district of
Ilocos Norte.
