Series of trainings and workshops were conducted in the past months to the different PHS in the provinces. Mr. Stradivary M. Caro, ICT Coordinator from the Ifugao State College of Agriculture and Forestry (ISCAF) spearheaded the selection of high schools using the standard criteria for the project.

The goal of CICT’s iSchools Project is to contribute in integrating information and communications technology (ICT) in education initiatives of the government to enable our secondary graduates to be globally competitive. CICT will release 20 computer units each high school beneficiary to be installed in their laboratory and offices so as to realize the goal of the project.

Once these computer units are installed, there will be continuous monitoring and evaluation by the ICT coordinator to ensure full operation and maintenance.
