DINAGAT ISLANDS —The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Caraga, through its Technical Operations Division, conducted the Public Key Infrastructure (PNPKI) User's Training to the personnel of the Department of Education—Schools Division Office of Dinagat Islands from April 7 to 9.

A total of 172 participants from various schools and offices under DepEd SDO Dinagat Islands actively took part in the 3-day training, which was held across three key venues namely, Albot Central Elementary School, Cagdianao Central Elementary School and in Don Ruben Edera Ecleo Sr. Memorial National High School.

The activity opened by the Assistant Schools Division Superintendent Bryan L. Arreo, PhD, CESE, highlighted the importance of digital transformation and secure communication in the education sector.

“This program from DICT Caraga aligns with our mission to ensure our educators and personnel are equipped with the right tools and knowledge to adapt to modern governance. Cybersecurity and digital signatures are no longer optional—they are necessary in today’s digital age,” Dr. Arreo stated.
