Undersecretary for Administration Alain Del Pascua, in a statement issued Monday, May 10, said that these initiatives are part of DepEd’s preparation for the PEN where “we will connect all schools, all DepEd offices through various technologies.”
During the EduAksyon sa Norte virtual visit in April, DepEd turned over 2,972 smartphones and 82 laptops to selected learners and teachers from Regions 1, 2, 3, and Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR).
The said donation, DepEd said, was conducted to help the learners, especially the student-leaders, to facilitate and actualize academic and co-curricular activities and student-oriented projects and initiatives online.
The Information and Communications Technology Service (ICTS) also conducted a training workshop for the teachers and ICT coordinators on the e-book development using Kotobee and AppsGeyser.

In order to realize the establishment of the Public Education Network (PEN) in the country, the Department of Education (DepEd) has partnered with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to respond to the challenges in the education landscape.
Education Secretary Leonor Briones confirmed this during the briefing of Palace Spokesman Harry Roque on Monday, April 19. With the shift into distance learning amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, underscored the “need to use technology” for learning continuity and education.
Last week, DepEd led by Briones and DICT led by Secretary Gregorio Honasan II also signed two important Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to strengthen the delivery of education through broadcast, connectivity, and digital security via the PEN program.

“It is high time to hike the compensation rates as the ESRA [Election Service Reform Act] Law provides for the review and adjustments of the rates every three years,” said Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) in a statement hours after DepEd formally announced its request to the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
ACT said that the steep inflation since 2016 and the “greater risks that teachers will face in the 2022 elections in the context of a pandemic really calls for a significant increase in poll work honorarium and allowances.”
However, the group strongly asserted that that election service compensation must be made “tax-free so that teachers can get the full benefits of their service.”
