Historic First Batch of 21st Century Classrooms Finds Home in Lipa City

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Department of Science and Technology-Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) joined other government agencies in unveiling the first batch of the 21^st Century Learning Environment Model (CLEM) Classrooms at Inosloban-Maraoay National High School (INHS) in Lipa City last August 13, 2018.

Present during the event are DOST-SEI Deputy Director Albert Mariño, DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones, Department of Information and Communications Technology Acting Secretary Usec. Eliseo Rio, Chairman of the National Electrification Administration Board of Administrators Armando Cusi, Senator Ralph Recto, and Congresswoman Vilma Santos-Recto.

INHS is one of the five public schools in Lipa City now equipped with a 21^st CLEM, a classroom setup strategically equipped with facilities designed for mobility and connectivity.

DOST-SEI Director Josette Biyo lauded the efforts of the collaborating institutions that made the 21^st CLEM classrooms a reality in the country.

“This is the kind of history we’d like to keep repeating. We have various agencies from the DOST – the DOST-CALABARZON, DOST-PCIEERD, and DOST-SEI; the DepEd; and the Provincial Government of Batangas all working together to create a modern learning environment for Filipino students,” she said.

The modern classrooms promote collaborative teaching and learning to support student-centered learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) – the track DOST-SEI promotes to fulfill its mandate of producing a critical mass of scientists and engineers.
