TULUNAN, COTABATO – One (1) unit of an electronic library from DOST XII has been donated to Banayal Elementary School in Tulunan, Cotabato during the DILG XII led ELCAC Serbisyo Caravan in Banayal, Tulunan, Cotabato.
The STARBOOKS, also known as “Library in a Box” is an offline e-library developed by DOST-Science and Technology Information Institute (STII). Storage of encyclopedia, S&T-based research, and other science-related learning resources in various formats will provide a digitalized learning experience to students, teachers, researchers, and other science-enthusiasts in the community.
Provincial Science and Technology Director (PSTD) of Cotabato Province, Mr. Michael T. Mayo, said that DOST XII is committed to giving units of STARBOOKS to all ELCAC communities in the province.
“Donation of STARBOOKS in the far-flung communities sought to enhance the educational competencies of the less-privileged students in the isolated barangays of Cotabato province.” PD Mayo said.
“This is our sincere commitment to bring S&T services closer to the people of Cotabato province,” Mayo added.
Furthermore, DOST XII has also donated school supplies to the identified elementary students of Banayal Elementary School.
Hon. Governor Nancy A. Catamco of Cotabato province graced the said event together with other regional directors, provincial government units, local government units, barangay officials, PNP, AFP, and other government agencies.
