DepEd Provides Laptops and School Supplies to Pag-asa Island, Aims to Enhance Education Amid Challenges

Sonny Angara, the secretary of education, traveled to Pag-asa Island to provide laptops and other educational equipment.

Along with 43 footballs and 109 school bags full of necessary materials, 15 laptops were given to the teachers at Pag-asa Integrated School.

“With this technology, we hope to lighten the workload of our teachers and unlock the potential of our learners. President Bongbong Marcos has directed us to harness modern tools to strengthen education and uplift the future of our youth,” Angara said in a press release on Monday.

Angara and Department of Education personnel met with educators, parents, and community leaders to discuss ways to improve living conditions and address educational difficulties on the island.

“This mission embodies our dedication to ensuring that no Filipino learner is left behind,” Angara added. “The government is committed to developing even the most isolated areas, ensuring access to education, services, and security for all.”
