The Department of Education (DepEd) said on Monday, July 12, that it has started to distribute sim cards with connectivity load to one million teaching and non-teaching personnel in the Central and Field Offices.
This is part of our commitment to deliver the promises of the Bayanihan 2 Act. Through the support of our President, our lawmakers, and our field offices, DepEd has ensured that our personnel and teachers can efficiently provide basic education services to our learners despite the situation,
said Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones.

According to a Memorandum, released on July 1, from the Office of the Undersecretary for Administration (OUA), the eligible employees to receive the sim cards are permanent, contractual, local government unit-paid personnel that are working under DepEd schools and offices.
The sim cards will be handed over to DepEd Central by the Asset Management Division (AMD), whereas the Regional levels will receive it from the Regional Supply Officer.
Additionally, the grant will be given by the Division Supply Officer to Schools Division Office (SDO) personnel and Schools Property Custodian which will both allocate the data allowance to school personnel.
The issuing authorities will have to distribute the sim cards until July 23 as reminded by the DepEd.
The Department has procured the sim cards and connectivity load from our external partner for all the teaching and non-teaching personnel to ensure ease in communication and unhampered delivery of services amid the crisis,
Undersecretary Alain Del B. Pascua said.
A total of 119,909 sim cards will be received by DepEd-CALABARZON, while DepEd-Central Luzon will acquire 101,616 sim cards, and DepEd-National Capital Region will get 88,781 sim cards.
All sim cards will be activated with an initial 34GB load consumable for one year.
Teaching and non-teaching personnel are required to fill out the Online Registration Form at https://depedconnect.com.ph before picking up the sim card, which will ensure it will be allocated with another load for the second month.
Sim cards that are not distributed by the end of July 2021 will be returned to the Division Supply Officers for appropriate accounting.
