In order to provide vital support to education frontliners for the new school year, the Department of Education (DepEd) said on Thursday, Aug. 26, that it is set to distribute some 40,000 laptops to teachers, personnel, schools, and field offices nationwide this month.
The provision of internet-capable equipment to DepEd offices, schools, and teachers is great news for the education sector. This would go a long way in our continued implementation of our Basic Education – Learning Continuity Plan and in providing technical support to our field offices nationwide,
said Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones.

DepEd noted that the procurement of laptops through the Department of Budget and Management-Procurement Service (DBM-PS) was made possible by the Bayanihan to Recover As One Act (Bayanihan II).
Our direction is to provide laptops for each teacher and our DepEd offices. The Department recognizes that teachers who use their own devices bought these out of their own expense. It is still the responsibility of the state to provide government-issued laptops,
Undersecretary for Administration Alain Del B. Pascua said.
Eligible personnel to receive the laptops for the Division and Regional offices are Implementing Units (UIs), Public Schools District Supervisors (PSDSs), Alternative Learning System (ALS) Mobile Teachers, and Regional and Division Coordinators under the Administration Strand.
DepEd said that the the Regional Offices will directly receive the laptops delivered by the supplier. The final list of recipients will be then identified by the Regional Supply Officer and will be responsible for the release of the allocated units of the Schools Division Offices.
Additionally, the names of beneficiaries will later be submitted to the respective regions and divisions by the CO-based concerned offices for reference.
DepEd also reminded that strict implementation of required health protocols and social distancing must be observed should Regional and Schools Division Offices organize simultaneous unboxing and training of laptop use through online webinars or face-to-face sessions.
