e-IMPACT Solution

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.
