 INNOVATION OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY IN PHILIPPINE SETTINGS

The students are reminded  that it is best to teach students in the vernacular and that in our current age, the digital world is the vernacular of children. By incorporating technology instead of avoiding it, it hopes to provide improvement and enrichment to education in the Philippines. Embracing technology also allows teachers the opportunity to properly guide children in the proper and responsible use of technology.

"After exams, test results can be directly emailed to the parents’ email addresses."

This project is a first in the country because no other educational institution had attempted to pursue a completely digitalized curriculum before. As such the project will be broken down into five phases to slowly integrate technology into students’ school life. It will also help to alleviate the cost of implementing such an ambitious system.

assignment 2

1. Describe the education system of Bhutan. Itemize your answer.

Primary Education

Education in Bhutan in the mountainous region between China and India is a voluntary affair, because many of the people live in far-flung places where they follow traditional lives. In larger settlements where primary schools exist, children are taught for seven years, mainly in English.

Secondary Education

Even fewer children complete a further four years of secondary education, which follows a general academic curriculum without opportunities for specialization. More wealthy parents have the choice of sending children to private schools instead, often in foreign countries.

Tertiary Education

There is a single higher-level junior college, and two teacher training colleges. The sole tertiary institution is the University of Bhutan, founded by royal decree in 2003 and illustrated here.


Its faculties offer diplomas and degree courses in science & technology, business studies, traditional medicine, language & culture, education, health sciences, natural resources, and management. Students whose needs are not catered for will study elsewhere abroad.

The project, conducted by the SIF Specialist information technology (IT) team, also trained teacher educators and curriculum design specialists to utilize ICT in their work and to integrate computer-based training materials into the school curriculum. Funding for the project was obtained from the Singapore Government and philanthropic foundations in Singapore.
