| EDUCATION TRANSFORMATION |
| |
| This program is aimed at improving the quality of learning using ICT-supported new pedagogies. Our goal is to explore, demonstrate, and upscale sustainable models of ICT use in classrooms and alternative learning environments that increase learner motivation, facilitate comprehension of abstract concepts, enable independent learning, promote inquiry and exploration, and enhance critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Since teachers are crucial to any learning process, an important component of this program is teacher professional development in the integration of ICTs into the curriculum, encompassing a broad range of technical, content, and pedagogical knowledge and skills necessary for teachers to design and facilitate ICT-supported learning. |

| EDUCATION FOR ALL |
| |
| Providing basic education for all in a country like the Philippines where there is a large, diverse, and geographically dispersed population, and where resources for the achievement of various development goals are limited, is a great challenge. This program focuses on the use of ICTs—including radio, television, playback technologies, telephony, computers and the Internet—as a strategy for making expanding access to basic education services, especially of children, youth and adults in poor, remote, and conflict-afflicted areas, and of those with special needs. |

| RESEARCH AND POLICY ADVOCACY |
| |
A key component of FIT-ED’s mission is informing policy-making on ICT use at both national and local levels. Our advocacy activities are in turn informed by continous monitoring and evaluation of projects we develop and implement as well as special research projects we undertake.
The goal of this program is two-fold:
1) to contribute to the systematic documentation and analysis of local efforts to use ICTs in a learning context, and 2) to create opportunities for a critical discussion of the issues surrounding educational ICT use.
