ICT National or
International Policies that
are applicable to Teaching
and Learning
Eight Policy Themes around the world that
are commonly identified in educational
technology policies
(1) vision and planning;
(2) ICT infrastructure;
(3) teachers;
(4) skills and competencies;
(5) learning resources;
(6) EMIS;
(7) monitoring and evaluation; and
(8) equity, inclusion, and safety
The framework only considers policy
intent but not the extent to which
policies are realized in practice, nor the
impact of such policies. The policymakers
are challenged to offer useful related
policy guidance for rapid developments
and innovations in the technology sector
In the There are two official

Philippines...
documents wherein Policy on
the use of ICTs in the
Philippine basic education
system is articulated. The
Medium-Term Development
Plan of the Philippines
(MTPDP) 2004-2010
The Medium-Term Development Plan of
the Philippines (MTPDP)

“ICT will be harnessed as a powerful


enabler of capacity development. It will,
therefore, be targeted directly towards
specific development goals like ensuring basic
education for all and lifelong learning,
among others” (National Economic
Development Authority, 2004a, p. 2)
2002 Basic Education Curriculum
(BEC)
“We must educate our Filipino learners to filter
information critically, seek credible sources of knowledge,
and use data and facts creatively so that they can
survive, overcome poverty, raise their personal and
national esteem, and realize a gracious life in our risky
new world.”
The Philippine government, especially the Department of
Education and Department of Science and Technology, has
forwarded ICT educations through policies and projects. The
Restructured Basic Education Curriculum launched in 2002
aimed to implement an interactive curriculum and to integrate
technology in instruction and education, with computer literacy
much emphasis.
The Act of 1998 (R.A. 8484) was passed
to generate the participation of companies
and to engage the private sector. There
are programs with DepEd through
streamline data collection to improve ICT
education. To help schools to participate in
ICT-related programs, the DepEd
Computerization Program (DCP) was
implemented.
Policy statements on ICT integration in Philippine primary
education reflect different perspectives. Critical ICTs for
schools’ programs tend to be informed by a human capital
approach. The human development perspective joined the
mainstream of education and development in the 1990s, and it
now reinforces the international consensus on Education for
All and the Millennium Development Goals, However, many
educational reform efforts continues to influence different
perspectives.
