Teachers air fears on PC upkeep

Recipients of the Western Visayas iSchools Project questioned the organizers of the Sustainability Training Program saying they found it hard to adopt a business plan to maintain the computer equipment.

Faculty from public high schools and their principals, PTA officers, and the Local School Board said they “do not know how to run a business because they are educators.”

Most of the delegates complained of insufficient income to support equipment breakdown. One delegate from Capiz said teachers lack the technical skills to repair computer problems. DepEd delegates also said they are unsure if their department will allow teachers to collect fees. Other baranggay high schools said they cannot find a room to place the new equipment.

Engr. Roly J. Gambol WVCST iSchools Project Manager,assured the recipient schools of the support and assistance of the partner State Universities and Colleges to the problems expressed.

WVCST supervises 13 public high schools in Western Visayas and spearheads the iSchools implementation in the region.
