MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 54 -
DIRECTING ALL CONCERNED AGENCIES TO IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENT EDUCATIONAL
MODERNIZATION PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES THROUGH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
(IT), PARTICULARLY IN THE APPLICATION OF IT-BASED STRATEGIES IN MAJOR
PHASES OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS' OPERATIONS, INSTRUCTION, RESEARCH,
EXTENSION, MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT
In order to support the objectives of
government towards providing up-to-date educational reforms, as well as
developing IT-related teaching methods and processes at all school
levels to improve the effectivity of the national teaching and learning
processes, all concerned agencies directly related to education,
including state universities and colleges, are hereby directed to
utilize IT-based strategies in the implementation of their educational
modernization projects and activities. Emphasis is placed in the
application of said schemes in the major phases of the educational
institutions' operations, instruction, research, extension, management
and support.
Furthermore, in the implementation of such projects and activities, the
concerned agencies and institutions shall rationalize the utilization
of their existing resources and services to promote priority education
projects and activities such as the open system of education, the
operation of distance education, and the development and
interconnection of information resource centers, tele-mentoring,
on-line group discussions, electronic discussion lists and electronic
billboards.
In order to avoid duplication or overlapping in the use of IT
resources, and thereby harmonize and provide a sharing policy among the
various educational programs of concerned institutions, close
consultation and coordination among them must be maintained utilizing,
as practicable as possible, the interconnection provided through the
Internet. By virtue of their manpower expertise and comparative edge in
resources vis-a-vis other agencies, the higher educational institutions
are hereby enjoined to provide the leadership and direction in
implementing the provisions of this directive.
All concerned agencies and institutions shall utilize all means
possible, subject to existing laws, rules and regulations, in order to
raise the necessary funding support for the above projects and
agencies, including, but not limited to, the utilization of their
respective agency appropriations and the formulation of
Build-Operate-and-Transfer (BOT) or Lease-Buy schemes and other
joint-venture undertakings.
