“SDO Angeles City is very grateful for the support of the Local Government Unit in intensifying the ICT skills of Angeleno learners through upgrading the computer laboratories in select schools. This is a great opportunity to help teachers and learners embrace the digital world of education in support to the MATATAG Agenda by producing job-ready and digital literate Angelenos,” Engr. Domingo said.
Each laboratory is equipped with 40 computers.
For Angeles City High School and Northville 15 Integrated School, it will designate three rooms each as computer laboratories, and two rooms each for Angeles City National Trade School Junior High School and Angeles City National Trade School Senior High School.
