Global Filipino School The Global Filipino School is a competency-building initiative of Globe Telecom that seeks to transform public high schools into ICT centers of excellence and hopes to provide access to quality education. 4 Aside from the benefit of having an available access to computer and Internet access, the teachers are able to introduce new teaching ways to students, which can make them more engaged in the lessons. Hence, this results to increased motivation and improved performances at national assessments. Conclusion Computer and technology has been an integral part of education. These innovations entail cost, which most public schools cannot afford. Helping the public schools become as competitive as private schools that have their computer laboratory is crucial. By providing computer and Internet access to public schools, the teachers and students are able to adapt with the technological environment.
