Because of poor internet connectivity in many parts of the country, the gadgets will mostly be used only to download learning modules, as online “Zoom-type” classes remain unfeasible for the public school system.

When the Department of Education announced a shift to distanced learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many local governments raced to provide tablets and laptops to students from low-income families so they could keep up.

Cayetano, whose brother Lino is the mayor of Taguig City, said this was a"common conclusion" among National Capital Region mayors. Some private schools have already resumed classes, and through web conferences are able to establish and maintain interaction with students attending from home. Students participate in physical education and art classes with their teachers onscreen, Binay said, citing her children’s experience.

The gadgets won’t go to waste, Malaluan said, as these will be used to download electronic copies of learning modules and, eventually, interactive versions. The DepEd is working to upload these modules in a “commons” website two weeks in advance so students can download and study them ahead of schedule.
