Inactive computer lab turned into school’s stockroom

An inactive computer lab welcomed iSchool's Monitoring team as it inspected Paradise Farms National High School (PFNHS) in the City of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan on June 25, 2008.

iSchool’s visit caught PFNHS by surprise as boxes containing textbooks were found stacked inside the lab.

iSchool representative Ms. Jocelyn Flores noted that “the implementation of the PC lab is not as expected, seem(s) like inactive use because (it) became stockroom for other items not given by CICT.”

The school’s principal, Ms. Violeta de Leon, however, clarified that since the lab was considered the most secure room in the whole school, it would likewise serve as the best storage area for the books for the meantime.

The iSchools project stipulated that the lab must be equipped with grills and locks for the windows and doors, thereby confirming Ms. de Leon’s assertions.

PNHS is one of the 40 recipients of the pilot implementation of the iSchools project.
