Start focusing on TechEd: A key to improving technological literacy skills of filipinos

The Issue

Are filipinos technologically literate?

Today, everyone believes that technology is our future. With the innovation of technology around the world ranging from appliances to automobiles to gadgets, the Philippines needs to make better programs, make curriculums focusing more on technology and overall to help every filipino have the basic knowledge with this important matter. The Philippines needs to keep pace with the world's constant technological advances.

According to the Philippine Institute for Development Studies(PIDS) A PIDS paper underscored the limited digital literacy skills among Filipinos. Only around 40 percent have at least one of the six information and communications technology (ICT) skills monitored for the Sustainable Development Goals. Digital literacy appears to be lowest among the young (10-14 years old) and the elderly (65 and above). In ASEAN, the Philippines lags in nearly all ICT skills endorsed by the International Telecommunication Union.
