Converge ICT sustains e-learning of Filipino students



The pandemic has definitely changed the Filipinos' way of living. As the quarantine situations continue to be a challenge, distance learning through online platforms remains to be the trend for millions of students in the country. This new normal has accelerated a much needed emphasis on digital literacy and digital tools especially in the education sector. With this sudden shift to e-learning, improving the digital skills of students and educators has never been more essential.

Transitioning to this new way of learning has its fair share of problems. Students and teachers struggle with connectivity, financial resources, and 'digital divide' or the limited access to digital technologies. Significantly increasing demand for fast, reliable, and consistent internet connection since the onset of the pandemic is also evident in the country.
