DOST, LGU Pangantucan to improve science, tech info access in GIDA areas through STARBOOKS
The Science and Technology Research-Based Openly Operated Kiosk (STARBOOKS) is an innovation of the DOST Science and Technology Information Institute.
Expressing gratitude for the initiative, Dr. Ellen A. Azuelo, Education Program Supervisor who is also the project leader, commended the DOST for its efficient and comprehensive project implementation process.
LGU Pangantucan’s Executive Assistant, Rolando Franco, also encouraged the other schools in the Municipality to avail the same project for inclusive education opportunities.
Dr. Ligaya S. Gonzales, School Principal of Pangantucan National High School, expressed hope that this intervention from the DOST would be followed by further support for STEM education in Pangantucan, fostering a strong foundation for the high school learners’ academic journey.
By providing accessible and up-to-date information, the project aims to empower students to pursue STEM courses and become valuable contributors to the S&T human capital of the country. With the collaborative efforts of the DOST, DepEd, and local educational institutions, the future of S&T education in Pangantucan is set to be brighter than ever before.
