Through the Information and Communications Technology Service (ICTS), the Office of the Undersecretary for Administration (OUA) has partnered with Adobe to procure around 108,000 licenses and the Creative Nation Academy on sharing knowledge and expertise on the use of these tools.
DepEd must provide these licenses to our public schools because we are now in the creative development era. Anyone can be a content creator due to the simplification and adaptability of existing mobile devices where learning and design can blend as one,
Undersecretary for Administration Alain Del B. Pascua said.

He further explained that the agency is preparing learners to be globally inclined and encouraged them to use industry-standard software to give them greater opportunities of landing a job.

Similarly, Mark Sy, ICTS-Educational Technology Unit Head, also stressed that it is important to open gateways to the teaching force since they are the ones molding learners’ transferrable skills.
If we do not provide them with these tools, we cannot have competitive graduates who will help the Philippines in [raising] global digital skills standards that contribute to nation-building,
Sy said.

The Adobe Creative Cloud is a comprehensive collection of Adobe desktop software and mobile applications under one umbrella which is available to access through an Adobe Federated ID linked with the respective school email address. It was already made available by January 15, 2022.

DepEd said the creative licenses have undergone speedy activation after distribution.
