A scholastic journal in presented by Gupeteo (2015) from Ateneo de
Davao University shows thatit is still in the process of starting to adopt ICT in
education. Schools are usually the source of ICT for them comprising 37.4%
and 18.4% are using ICT on their own. The number of hours spends for
computers every month ranges from 1–420 hours and most of the teachers

According to Moorthy (2002), basic ICT skills, such as use of email and
basic word processing and spreadsheet applications, have over the last few
years become part of a standard set of skills for the majority of participants in
the job market. Indeed, results from a particular survey suggest that more
than two-thirds (70 percent) of respondents believe the great majority (greater
than 60 percent) of current employees have the basic ICT skills necessary for

overall aim of this strategy is to provide children and students the opportunity
