Poverty has been the reason why some of our local folks remain digitally marginalized. To address this ‘digital divide’, Dr. Teresita R. Castillo, VP for Student Affairs, in collaboration with College of Information and Communications Technology (CICT) instructors held a basic computer literacy program to selected youth ages 10-14 of Barangay Calungusan in Orion, Bataan.
The said program was held in CICT Computer Laboratory 5 from May 2 to May 21 (3 meetings/week, 3 hours/day). Participants were taught basic computer operations and manipulations as well as knowledge on applications like Microsoft Word which can be used for school and other purposes. Mr. Noel Tolentino, Ms. Christine Ortega and Ms. Noemi Legaspi served as extensionists in the said activity.
In an interview, VP Castillo said that this project might spark the interest of participants in ICT that could lead them to pursue higher studies.
Brgy. Calungusan is one of the adopted barangays of the university.
Since the establishment of the CICT, the said program is being held every summer as one of the regular extension programs supervised by the Office of Extension Services (OES).
