New World-Class Computer Labs Revealed in Angeles City Schools
Angeles City Makes Strides in Education with World-Class Computer Laboratories
Angeles City, known for its rich history and vibrant culture, is now making headlines for its commitment to providing cutting-edge educational facilities to its students. The recently inaugurated state-of-the-art computer laboratories in public schools across the city have been hailed as “world-class,” setting a new standard for educational infrastructure in the region.
Enrile Lerit, a seasoned Information Communication and Technology (ICT) teacher at Angeles City National Trade School (ACNTS), expressed his astonishment at the level of technology now available to students. Drawing on his extensive teaching experience both locally and internationally, Lerit noted that the new facilities surpass those he encountered while teaching in Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
“As a teacher with years of experience, this is the first time I’ve seen a public school equipped with such advanced technology. The new computer laboratory here at ACNTS is truly world-class,” Lerit shared. He credited Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. for spearheading this initiative, stating, “These computer laboratories provided by our city government were made possible because of Mayor Pogi’s vision and leadership.”
Jefferson Karagdag, Principal of Northville 15 Integrated School, echoed Lerit’s sentiments, emphasizing the importance of preparing students for the digital age. “In today’s world, our students need to have 21st-century skills. The ICT laboratories provided by the mayor play a crucial role in equipping our students for the future,” Karagdag highlighted.
Similarly, Vernie Sapnu, a computer science teacher at Angeles City National High School, noted how the new facilities align with the goals of the Matatag curriculum, specifically in promoting computer literacy among students. “The goal of developing 21st-century skills among students will be more attainable thanks to these newly constructed computer laboratories. All students will now have the opportunity for hands-on experience,” Sapnu explained.
Elmer Dayrit, Principal of ACNTS, expressed his appreciation for Mayor Lazatin’s administration for prioritizing the ICT laboratories project. He emphasized that the new facilities will benefit both students and teachers, with parents expressing satisfaction at the school’s state-of-the-art ICT capabilities.
Mayor Lazatin took the lead in cutting the ribbon for the four new computer laboratories across the city’s public schools on August 6-7, 2024. The state-of-the-art facilities were financed by the city government as part of Mayor Lazatin’s ICT Modernization Program, a major campaign promise focused on improving the quality of education through technology.
The establishment of these world-class computer laboratories represents a significant stride forward for public education in Angeles City, ensuring that students are adequately prepared for the challenges of the digital era. With a focus on innovation and excellence, the city is poised to become a hub for cutting-edge education in the region and beyond.
