The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has launched a flagship initiative aimed at improving Internet literacy and computer knowledge in grassroots schools across the country.

- Rainier Allan Ronda,

ICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda introduced Project CLICK (Courses for Literacy in Internet and Computer Knowledge), emphasizing that digital access should be a fundamental right, not a privilege.

“Through Project CLICK, we're turning digital gaps into growth. With every device handed over, we move closer to a Philippines where no one is left offline. This is Digital Bayanihan in action: one click, one community, one future at a time," Aguda said.

Aguda also noted that the project supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive to ensure that no Filipino is left offline.
