MANILA, Philippines – Quezon City announced that it will be giving tablets to 175,731 public high school students amid the coronavirus pandemic that has forced youths to spend at least part of the upcoming school year at home. "The city government will provide tablets for 155,921 enrolled junior high school students and 19,810 enrolled senior high school students," said city hall in a statement on Saturday, June 6.

The tablets and modules will be funded by the P2.9-billion supplemental budget approved by the city's Local School Board dedicated to transitioning educational systems to the new requirements of the pandemic.
