Cellphone Troubleshooting and Repair will form part of the electronics curriculum starting next school year.
This was announced by COMTEQ technical support director, Mancy B. Joaquin.
Joaquin said that the increasing number of cellphone users makes it imperative for the school to incorporate the subject in its electronics curriculum.
The Philippines is a country with the most number of cellphone users earning for it the moniker the cellphone capital of Asia.
“It has always been a policy of the school to keep abreast with the latest in technology,” Joaquin said in explaining the move,
“By doing so, we also increase the graduates’ chances of being hired because companies would always prefer those with actual work experience in cellphone repair when hiring electronics technician,” he said.
Once the subject is included in the curriculum, the students enrolled in electronics course will get to experience actual cellphone troubleshooting and repair as early as their school days.
Students can also do cellphone repairs on the side to earn money even while they are studying.
“This is in keeping with our motto: Nag-aaral ka pa lang, may work experience ka na,” Joaquin stressed.
