The Department of Education (DepEd) has allotted P330 million for new science equipment for students in 435 public high schools around the country. The DepEd will first train teachers on the use of the equipment by holding regional workshops that will start in October. “The training is very important for the science teachers to master the use and application of the new science equipment as well as the maintenance procedures to ensure long-term use of these equipment," DepEd Secretary Armin Luistro said. At the regional training workshops, the DepEd National Science Teaching and Instrumentation Center (NSTIC) and NSTIC-trained regional trainors will train one science teacher per science subject area in each recipient school. The subject areas include Integrated Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Science elementary schools Meanwhile, the DepEd added 100 new special science elementary schools this year, bringing to 200 the total number of elementary schools offering a specialized curriculum focused on the sciences. “The marching order is for us to continue to find ways to develop a new generation of science and technology-savvy graduates who will bring us to new levels of economic progress," said Luistro.
