Support Multigrade Schools with Digital Technology

Highlights

The research brief presents results from the Learning Recovery Programme for Children in Multigrade Schools in Typhoon Odette Affected Areas in the Philippines and examines the enabling factors for introducing digital learning and teaching in multigrade schools and how ICT-enhanced pedagogy is adapted in multigrade schools. The programme introduced the Learning Passport, a digital learning management system developed by UNICEF and Microsoft Community Training, for the first time in the Philippines.

Based on the findings from the research brief, the policy brief recommends immediate actions to address the remaining gaps and challenges in using ICT-enhanced pedagogy in multigrade classes. These recommendations may also serve as useful recommendations when DepEd scales the digital learning intervention to other multigrade schools across the Philippines.
