SENATOR Juan Edgardo Angara batted for the use of technology in solving the country’s education problems.

During the alignment meeting of the 2nd Congressional Education Committee and the Department of Education, Angara reiterated the importance of using cutting-edge technologies in enhancing the learning experience of Filipino students.

“I hope we can leverage the use of technology in addressing the education gaps in the country. There are a lot of resources online which are free… Khan Academy, Coursera. We have technologies like ChatGPT which will help our teachers. I just see technology as a way of leapfrogging a lot of problems,” he said.

During the meeting, the lawmakers who constitute the EDCOM 2 and officials of the DepEd headed by Vice President Sara Duterte witnessed the signing of the Data Sharing Agreement between the two agencies.

Angara commended the DepEd for its programs and actions aimed to enhance the quality of education.

“With all your initiatives klarong-klaro na mabilis ang pagkilos nyo, you set plans in motion. Congratulations for that,” he said.
