Alaminos public schools get computer buildings
ALAMINOS CITY–Nine more computer buildings in different elementary schools here are set to be constructed within the year as part of the city’s Wireless Internet-based Governance System (WINGS) Project.
The schools that will soon have a new computer building include Balayang Elementary School (ES), Dulacac ES, Landoc ES, Lucap ES, Maawi ES, Cayucay ES, Pangapisan ES, Tanaytay ES and Sta. Maria ES.
Edilberto Peralta Jr., executive assistant of Mayor Hernani Braganza, said the local government has already invited prospective bidders for the construction of the buildings.
The computer buildings will connect all the public elementary and high schools to the city’s WINGS program, providing Internet access to students and the faculty.
All of the city’s 43 public elementary and high school are covered by the WINGS Project. All public high schools in the city now have broadband Internet access.
“This will soon provide our school children and our teachers better access on wide range of information via the internet which was never before experienced in the city,” said City Planning and Development Coordinator Roel Añonuevo.
A total of about P6 million has been earmarked for the project in this year’s budget.
Each computer building is estimated to cost about P992,000, which will be sourced from the city’s Special Education Fund (SEF).
WINGS project is a major component of Braganza’s “Bright Child Program.”
Other components of this program include the City Expanded Scholarship Program, the City Expanded Feeding Cum Livelihood Assistance Program, and Computer Literacy Assistance Program for the city’s out-of-school youth, the Inter-School Learning Activity Challenge, the City Comprehensive Sports and Youth Development Program, Health & Nutrition Development, Social Welfare Development, and Civil Registration.
The city government has also purchased and received computer donations from benefactors. —LM
