LEARNTECH eXCELS Launched in the Philippines

LEARNTECH eXCELS was launched in the Philippines through the Center's national partner, the Philippine Normal University last 12 December 2005 at the PNU's Manila campus. Dr. Jesus A. Ochave, VP for Planning, Research and Extension, welcomed the project for its potential in making principals more effective and efficient, and thus, encouraging competence among teachers and high performance among students.

Dr. Zenaida T. Domingo, head of SEAMEO INNOTECH's Business Development Office, was guest speaker during the event, representing INNOTECH Director Dr. Erlinda C. Pefianco. Others who graced the occasion were key officials of the PNU, schools superintendents and supervisors from municipalities in the National Capital Region, and officials from the Department of Education.

The formal launching was signified by the unveiling of the LEARNTECH eXCELS poster. Dr. Domingo led the unveiling, assisted by Mr. Pierangelo B. Alejo, project coordinator of LEARNTECH eXCELS, and PNU's senior officials—Dr. Ochave, Dr. Estefania S. de Guzman (VP for Academics), and Dr. Leticia V. Catris (head of the PNU-CETDE and national coordinator for LEARNTECH eXCELS).

The event, likewise, served as an opportunity to introduce the first batch of trainers, referred to as flexible learning tutors (FLTs). NIne professors and education specialists from different campuses of the PNU were selected to participate in a trainer's training conducted for four days following the formal launch.

The PNU Center for Educational Technology and Distance Education organized the event in cooperation with SEAMEO INNOTECH.
