In school year 2005–2006, five (5) new
schools converted to e-IMPACT system. Three (3) schools were
partially supported by SEAMEO INNOTECH while two (2) schools were
fully supported by USAID EQuALLS-CAII in addition to fully
supporting Culianan Learning Center in Zamboanga City as a Center
of Excellence for e-IMPACT. Monitoring and evaluation data show
that for the schools to benefit much from the learning system,
full support in terms of one-to-one copy of peer-group learning
modules has to be provided to pupils in levels 3 to 6. This was
revealed in monitoring/feedback data from pilot schools in Antique,
Albay, and San Jose del Monte City. On the contrary, schools with
full support in terms of copies of modules can implement the system
quite efficiently as evidenced in schools fully supported by USAID.
Although the above findings show that the system
can address quality issues of our educational system, there is
still a need to undertake a systematic and scientific evaluation
of the learning system based on current realities and conditions.
SEAMEO INNOTECH welcomes external support for such undertaking.
