In order to realize the establishment of the Public Education Network (PEN) in the country, the Department of Education (DepEd) has partnered with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to respond to the challenges in the education landscape.
Education Secretary Leonor Briones confirmed this during the briefing of Palace Spokesman Harry Roque on Monday, April 19. With the shift into distance learning amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, underscored the “need to use technology” for learning continuity and education.
Last week, DepEd led by Briones and DICT led by Secretary Gregorio Honasan II also signed two important Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to strengthen the delivery of education through broadcast, connectivity, and digital security via the PEN program.
