New computers for Mandaue’s ALS
Thousands of out-of-school youths and public high school students in Mandaue now have new equipment and facilities.
Students in Alternative Learning School (ALS) from barangays Canduman, Tawason and Cubacub will now have brand-new computer units in their computer lessons.
The Aboitiz Foundation, represented by its trustee Romy Ronquillo and managing trustee Sonny Carpio, turned over new computers and armchairs to Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes and Education Superintendent Virginia Zapanta.
The 12 computer units are placed in a facility in Canduman multipurpose building, where reviews for accreditation and equivalency will be conducted.
The 1,000 armchairs, on the other hand, will be distributed to Canduman National High School, Cabancalan NHS, Mandaue City Comprehensive NHS and Labogon NHS.
The ALS, also known as e-Skwela, aims to train around 2,000 out-of-school youths and adults to prepare them for formal education.
