Upon reading the 5 progressive states in Asia,I have learned that they are capable of providing a conducive and effective learning in the teaching and learning process. They are giving importance and support with its necessities in making ICT program a great way to develop skills,confidence,knowledge and information and a good communication in the country and to other countries as well.In my own point of view, Philippines should also provide an ICT system that is supported by the country which is accessible not only in the urban areas but in rural areas as well.As I have observed, there are only few schools specially in the elementary and secondary level which has computers and if there is, internet access is not available which indicates that Phillippines doesn't provide easy accessibility to provide knowledge and information on how to use computers, because not all are given the chance to use it. I've known some people who doesn't even know how to use the computer. In college level, ICT system is I think a need for student to know how to operate because we always encounter it in school but still not all the institutions has a large number of computer to cater all the students need in researches.
