THE CATANDUANES State University has set up 27 learning centers in the province to boost students’ access to learning equipment.

CatSU said that the initiative also aims to help students in remote areas who are deprived of internet connection for distance learning.

The school coordinated with local government units for the project implementation.

The learning centers have personal computers, printers, among others, which are part of the university’s implementation of its Smart Campus project.

“These learning centers will also open avenues for qualified students to be hired as student assistants to help them complete their tasks and academic obligations,” the university said.

For the project, the school was given P24.9 million grant by the Commission on Higher Education.
