Profile

A key component of FIT-ED’s mission is informing policy-making on ICT use at both national and local levels. Our advocacy activities are in turn informed by continous monitoring and evaluation of projects we develop and implement as well as special research projects we undertake.

This program is aimed at improving the quality of learning using ICT-supported new pedagogies. Our goal is to explore, demonstrate, and upscale sustainable models of ICT use in classrooms and alternative learning environments that increase learner motivation, facilitate comprehension of abstract concepts, enable independent learning, promote inquiry and exploration, and enhance critical thinking.

Providing basic education for all in a country like the Philippines where there is a large, diverse, and geographically dispersed population, and where resources for the achievement of various development goals are limited, is a great challenge. This program focuses on the use of ICTs—including radio, television, playback technologies, telephony, computers and the Internet.
