摘要:Information and communication technology (ICT) is fast transforming economies and social processes, particularly the Philippine education sector. However, the sector is beset with technical, content, utilization, programmatic, structural and political issues that prevent it from fully tapping the potentials of ICT. An analysis of these issues points towards certain deficiencies in existing policies. The Department of Education needs to address the following policy gaps: an expanded definition of ICT; appropriate use; donor coordination and harmonization; and public -private sector partnership. This paper addresses these gaps with a recommended comprehensive Appropriate Use Policy on Information and Communication Technology for Education (ICT4E) for the Philippines.

The paper presents the proposed Appropriate Use Policy as four policy instruments in the form of draft Department of Education Orders
