Marikina solon advocates future-ready schools
Marikina City First District Rep. Marcelino "Marcy" Teodoro has filed House Bill No. 1255, proposing the creation of Public Schools of the Future in Technology (PSOFT) to equip public school students with digital tools.
The bill aims to bridge the digital divide by providing students with access to laptops, internet connectivity, and smart classrooms, which are currently unavailable to many.
Teodoro emphasized the indispensable role of digital technology in modern life and warned that a lack of access could hinder Filipino students' future earning potential.
Students in PSOFT schools would receive individual laptops and attend digitally equipped classes using interactive boards, online platforms, and multimedia content.
Teodoro noted the initiative could benefit children in remote areas, conflict zones, or those with physical limitations that prevent regular school attendance.
