Problem and Purpose

“Computer Education for the Underprivileged Students of Pinamukan National High School”

II. Scope

Microsoft Philippines will fund computer education and technological support for 500
teenagers in a marginalized school in Batangas City. This high impact will have a long-term
effect on the beneficiaries, as they will be better equipped for employment upon graduation.

III. Method and Procedure

Microsoft Philippines works to bring computer access, education and economic


opportunities to high school students of Pinamukan National High School. The program will
benefit at lest 500 low-income students in the area. The training for the use of the computers
and basic software will be managed by the volunteers from Microsoft. Computer classes will be
conducted after school hours in a “Computer Café” that will be accessible to students 60 hours
weekly.

IV. Content

Microsoft Philippines believes that the earlier a person is introduced to technology, the
opportunities for economic advancement will likely increase. To ensure the success of this
program, we are taking educational approach with these elements:

 Output-oriented
The classes will work on specific projects that will measure the output. The finished
product for example, can be a newspaper article, a PowerPoint presentation, or even a
webpage. By working on these types of projects, students will learn practical applications
of the programs taught.

 Dynamic
Since we will be working after school hours and because our program is not officially
part of the school curriculum, our classes will be more open to exploring subject matters

outside of the curriculum. We will however, have lesson plans and clear objectives for
each class.

 Teacher to Student Ratio


We aim to have one volunteer for every eight students. With this ratio, the corporate
volunteers can attend more to each student. This will also enable the students to be
more comfortable with their time on the computers and their teacher.

 Skills Enhancement
We believe that the use of technology enhances critical thinking and other
developmental skills such as spatial knowledge and artistic capabilities.

VI. Follow-up / Evaluation


While class content may vary, the program’s objectives will be measured by the
following:

 Attendance Sheets
These will be compiled and submitted on a weekly basis.

 Class Diaries
Teachers will be required to have class diaries which will document the day’s lesson
plans, activities and other notables. This will be sent to and reviewed by Microsoft
volunteers.
