00:00The Department of Education is brewing a system that uses artificial intelligence to attend different issues in education.
00:07Meanwhile, the Department of Information and Communications Technology, or DICT, sheds a light on the benefits of the proposed Conectado Pinoy bill to students, as our Harley Valbuena reports.
00:18Future Ready Education
00:21This is now the focus of the Department of Education after the Philippines placed 74th on the Global Education Futures Readiness Index 2025.
00:33Included in the digital reforms of DEPED in the education sector is the establishment of Education Center which will use AI and data science to resolve issues in teaching, planning, and administrating schools.
00:47eCare is in development of educational apps such as Sigla for faster measurement of height and weight of children, Talino for geospatial mapping of schools with infrastructure needs, and Dunong for processing the exam data of school leaders.
01:05DEPED Secretary Sonia Angara assured that all these reforms will bring convenience in the future for teachers, parents, and students.
01:15It can be recalled that DEPED announced a more intensified use of alternative learning system amid open suspension of classes due to heavy rains and typhoons.
01:26The Department of Education and Communications Technology, meanwhile, assured support for these initiatives in education.
01:33DICT Secretary Henry Aguda said that the Connected Pinoy Bill, once passed, will be a huge help in digitalized learning since this will pave the way for the entry of more internet service providers.
01:47Minsan pag mula ng malakas, hindi makapasok yung mga bata sa eskwelahan.
01:52Pag may online learning ka, may access ka na dyan doon sa mga the likes ng Khan Academy, may access ka sa lahat ng resources for education buong mundo.
02:03Faster but cheaper internet is also seen because of the increased competition of data service players.
02:11Also under Connectedong Pinoy Bill, schools in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas are expected to finally have internet connectivity.
02:21Yung Connectedong Pinoy, bibigyan tayo ng additional powers and additional incentives to make internet available to everyone, lalo na sa Gida.
02:31Lahat ng schools ng DepEd, dapat makonek na kagad, uto sa amin niya ni Presidente.
02:37The Connectedong Pinoy Bill awaits transmittal or conveyance to the President, even as, and the DICT continues to dialogue with stakeholders to resolve issues and doubts in cybersecurity.
