Students Give Free ICT Training to Public School Teachers

For three consecutive Saturdays starting September 6, the College of Computer Studies (CCS), through one of its Computer Fundamentals 1 classes, is giving a series of free Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Skills Enhancement Training for public elementary and high school teachers in Dumaguete City. Sessions are hosted at the Uytensu Computer Center. 

The training is a service-learning initiative of the College, first undertaken in 2013. It empowers students as trainers and facilitators.

They come from the following schools: Amador Dagudag Memorial Elementary School, Babajuba Elementary School, Batinguel Elementary School, Balugo Elementary School, Calindagan Elementary School, Camanjac Elementary School, Cantil-e Elementary School, Candau-ay Elementary School, Cadawinonan Elementary School, City Central Elementary School, Junob Elementary School, Magsaysay Memorial Elementary School, West City Elementary School, North City Elementary School, Dumaguete City National High School, Piapi High School, Junob National High School, Ramon Teves Pastor Memorial Dumaguete Science High School and Taclobo National High School.
