BALANGA CITY — Thousands of senior high school students and teachers from public schools in Bataan stand to benefit from the Bataan Online Learning Tablets (BOLT) program with the turnover ceremony held Tuesday at The Bunker, seat of the provincial government.
First District Rep. Geraldine Roman said 12,862 students will have a mobile tablet each from the project launched by the provincial government led by Gov. Albert Garcia and the schools division office headed by Roland Fronda.
“Ito’y bilang pagtugon sa matagal nang pangangailangan ng ating mga mag-aaral,” the congresswoman said, thanking the governor and Fronda.
Roman said that as a lawmaker, she is pushing for the Philippine School of the Future in Technology Act that aims to modernize the school system in the country, promote flexible learning in the basic education curriculum, and provide internet connectivity in public schools.
“Sa pamamagitan nito ay mapapaayos din ang mga alternatibong paraan ng pag-aaral at magtatag ng online learning portals para sa ating mga mag-aaral,” she said.
“Nais rin nating magkaroon ng Philippine Online Library kung saan lahat ng kailangang libro sa pag-aaral ng mga bata ay available online at pwedeng i-download for offline use,” Roman added.
The program has also the full support of 2nd District Rep. Jose Enrique Garcia 3rd.
