Ans: There are good private and public schools all over the
Philippines. all cater to the priveledge elite. education is
supposedly a right in the Philippines but corruption and neglect have
resulted to its decline against other ASEAN neighbors. Because they
always think that our country is being leave by another Asia
countries. So what is Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, East Timor, Nepal,
Pakistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Burma, and many more... Are they
rich? So what is the 93% literacy rate in our country that one of the
highest literacy rate in Asia and world.

Ans: The supply of computers to public elementary and high school is
very inadequate to students because we all know that in a public
school, there are many students that will use computers. The learning
will be limited to fewer students and those who cannot use will not
benefit.

Ans: Improving learning outcomes for students using IT to support the
curriculum,
IT to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of educational
administration.
Developing partnership with communities to enhance access to learning
through IT.

Ans: It is not really enough because the benefit of our texting
culture are we can get informations and most especially in times of
emergencies. On the other hand, the disadvantages are sometimes we can
get wrong informations and through our texting culture some of us
forgot some of the spelling and grammar of words.
