Miss Ellen C. Macaraeg, Principal II, Tenejero Elementary School, City of Balanga, quotes in EDTECH: A TOUCH OF BETTER LEARNING IN THE PHILIPPINES:
‘The adequacy of computer in school varies directly with the student’s performance. To maintain the existence of EdTech, the government supports the spread of EdTech in most of the schools in the Philippines. Indeed, we should not neglect EdTech. With EdTech, Filipino students will be more educated as well as competitive and competent in their study.’
