Learning goes High-Tech
The classroom with no walls, that’s an apt description for the UP Open University who recently opened a learning centre here in Bohol. Tagbilaran City is one of the recipients of the project spearheaded by the Commission on Higher Education in partnership with the UP Open University. Their goal is to provide professional growth among Local Government employees through scholarship grants. The employee could enrol in any program for free as long as they passed the UPOU requirements. In this set-up, the employee could still carry on with their duties, as long as they can log on the computer from time to time. Discussions are done online and the textbook would be mailed right at your doorstep. The launching was held last November 24 at the City Hall Atrium grounds. In attendance were Commissioner William Medrano of CHED, Secretary Romulo Neri of the Social Security System and Vice-Chancellor Nemah Hermosa. The major proponents of the project stressed the importance of education in our lives. They emphasized that we should take every opportunity for growth, Mayor Lim even said in his keynote speech that all of us should aim high to learn more. After the program, the guest and visitors went to the 2nd floor of the City Hall building to formally open the Tagbilaran e-Learning Centre. Everybody was asked to cast their vision for the Centre; this gesture is one way of eliciting support and strengthening their commitment towards the Centre’s improvement. The whole activity closed in prayer led by Pastor Awing Lupio.
