In an article by CanadianInquirer.net, Cagayan de Oro along with the other 24 areas are recognized for their works in improving the delivery of basic education to their areas of responsibilities.
The LGU’s also each received a seal recipients technology packages worth P1.5 Million directed towards the development of their Information and Communications Technology (ICT) requirements for a more efficient delivery of education service such as “…the installation and maintenance of Wi-Fi hotspots in public areas, and the provision of InfoCast, a web-based solution that will allow the LGUs to broadcast announcements and receive feedback via text message” and “…a satellite-based communication solution that provides voice and SMS messages; Smart School in a Bag which contains a solar panel to serve schools without electricity, mobile devices, curriculum-based educational content, teacher training, monitoring, and evaluation; and trainings for personal development”.
