GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Nov. 7 (PIA) –- The local government here has recently completed the computerization of all the 85 public elementary and secondary schools in the city in a move to sharpen the city's competitive advantage in the domestic and global arenas. | |||
City Mayor Darlene Antonino-Custodio led the website-launching of the 69 public elementary schools over the weekend in addition to the websites of the 26 barangay high schools that were launched few weeks earlier. | |||
According to Media Affairs Officer, Avel Manansala, the idea of linking the 85 public schools in the city through the internet is underscored in the SHEEP-Computer Literacy Program (CLP) headed by the mayor’s Executive Assistant, Percival Pasuelo, | |||
Manansala disclosed that the SHEEP-CLP is one of the major development thrusts of the present administration to prepare the city for effective domestic and global engagements, as envisioned by former Mayor Adelbert Antonino. | |||
SHEEP stands for Social Transformation, Human Empowerment, Economic Diversification, Environment Security and Regeneration, and Participatory Governance and Transparency. | |||
Meanwhile, Manansala revealed that all these 85 websites can be accessed through a centralized website- www.gensantos.org- where interested net or web surfers especially alumni of the schools can check on their Alma Mater. | |||
“These websites are very interactive and perform like blogs where students can contribute their essays and upload pictures of their school activities,” he said. | |||
Manansala explained that the City Government and the Department of Education (DepEd) have partnered in training the principals of the 85 public schools as well as their staffs on how to responsibly maintain their respective websites. | |||
“General Santos City now holds the distinction of being the first city in the country where all its public schools have online presence,” he opined. (PGFruylan/PIA-Gensan) | |||
