The government of Japan has so far extended P40.8 million in grant for 1,256 computers donated to public high schools in Negros Oriental as part of the Personal Computers for Public Schools Project in collaboration with the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
This was disclosed by DTI provincial director Javier Fortunato Jr., as additional computers are being distributed in time for the opening of classes this year.
He said Phase 4 consists of 506 computers to be distributed to 46 public high schools all over the province at 11 units each.
The program started in 2002 with 20 units of each of the 12 recipient schools amounting to P7,182,264. Second phase had a total of 28 public high schools as recipients of ten computer units each worth P11,734,515.46. Third phase consists of 22 schools consisting of P8,261,295 and the biggest so far is more than P13.6 million under Phase 4.
He said public high schools in the province are lucky enough to have this grant despite that calamity had struck Japan.
Each computer package consists of 11 units Redfox computers, 11 units Bosline UPS, 11 units AVR and one unit Brother DCP inkjet printer. (PNA)
