This study focused on thee-Maturity of the public secondary schools with Computer Literacy and Internet Connection (CLIC) Project in South Central Mindanao. Its contribution in teaching - learning process, management, community service assistance on stakeholders participation, and school development in terms of physical and academic achievement is measured in their NAT result for the past three years, 2007-2010. The study utilized the descriptive research design, which was conducted in South Central Mindanao among the thirteen (13) respondent’s public high schools in the three (3) cities and four (4) provinces and its respective administrators, teachers and second year students who were identified through simple random sampling technique. Lottery was employed in selecting thirteen (13) respondents’ schools. Introduction

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM This study aimed to determine the level of electronic –maturity ( e-maturity) and development of public secondary schools, implementing the Computer Literacy and Internet Connection (CLIC) Project in South Central Mindanao. Specifically, it sought to answer the following problems:
What is the level of electronic maturity (e-Maturity) of the Computer Literacy and internet Connection (CLIC) Project recipient schools in: teaching – learning process, management , community service assistance and stakeholders assistance • what is the level of schools’ development in terms of physical development, and academic development?
Is the electronic maturity (e- Maturity) Level of the Computer Literacy and Internet Connection (CLIC) Project recipient schools significantly associated with the schools development. • What are the issues and concerns in the implementation of the Computer Literacy and Internet Connection (CLIC) Project?
Conceptual Framework • PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOL’S ELECTRONIC MATURITY • (e-MATURITY) • In Teaching –learning Process • In Management • In Community service Assistance • For Stakeholder’s Assistance • PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOL’S DEVELOPMENT • Physical Development • Infrastructure • Facilities • 2. Academic Achievement • National Achievement Test (NAT)
METHODOLOGY The methodology used in this study, this includes respondents of the study, locale of the study, sampling technique data gathering instrument, data gathering procedure and statistical treatment.
Research Design The study used the descriptive evaluative design in assessing the Computer Literacy and Internet Connection (CLIC) Project of the Philippine government in partnership with the United State agency International Development (USAID) through Growth with Equity in Mindanao (GEM) as to the schools’ profile. The level of electronic maturity ( e-maturity), and schools’ development is best describe in this method. In determining the relationship of the school’s profile of the respondents and the level of electronic maturity (e-maturity) as well as the schools development, descriptive correlation was used.
Respondents of the Study The respondents of this study were the public high schools with Computer Literacy and Internet Connection (CLIC) Project in South Central Mindanao. These are Isulan National High School, President Quirino National High School, libertad National High School, Sto. Niňo National High School, Irenio Santiago Memorial National High School, Lagao National High School, Alabel National High School, Cotabato City National High-Main campus, Kidapawan City National High School, Kabacan National High School, Gil B. Manalo National High School, Matalam, National High School and Mlang National High School. The respondents were the second year High School Students, all subject teachers and all administrators of the above mentioned thirteen (13) schools in the three (3) cities and (4) four provinces in South Central Mindanao.
Locale of the Study This study covers the thirteen (13) public secondary schools identified as recipient of the GEM CLIC Project the three (3) cities and four (4) provinces of South Central Mindanao. The identified areas are Cotabato City, General Santos City, Kidapawan City, North Cotabato Province, Saranggani Province, South Cotabato Province and Sultan Kudarat Province. The geographical location is presented on Figure 2.
Sampling Technique This study utilizes simple random sampling using lottery technique in selecting thirteen (13) respondents schools out of 55 identified GEM-CLIC recipient in South Central Mindanao, All thirteen (13) schools administrators were taken as respondents, while twenty percent (20%) of the second year students were taken as respondents, since this is the only year level that represents the schools in taking the National Achievement Test (NAT). The twenty percent (20%) teachers were also employed as respondents. The twenty percent (20%) of the total population for both teachers and students can already support its reliability or sample size using the stratified sampling (Pagaso, Garcia, De Leon, 1992) and as shown in Table 1.

Results And Discussion The study focuses on the level of implementation of the Growth and Equity in Mindanao-Computer Literacy and Internet Connection (GEM-CLIC) Project and its relationship with school development measured through its e-maturity level. The salient findings of the study are as follows:
The e- Maturity level of these schools implementing the GEM CLIC project is “matured” in their teaching-learning process in the management use of ICT both in the office and classrooms. They are similarly “matured” in giving ICT service assistance to the community as well as in strengthening stakeholders support for school development.
2. Testing the correlation coefficient between the schools development in terms of their academic achievement and their e-maturity level in the teaching-learning process, a “positive weak correlation” exists in the usability of ICT in schools, students’ skills development, and in integration of ICT in learning areas at 0.05 significance level. The schools e-maturity level has an influence on the schools, development. Schools receive support on infrastructure project from its stakeholders due to ICT awareness and the integration of new technology in instruction as evidenced by the positive weak relationship. Correlating both the teachers’ and administrator’ ratings, at 5% level of significance, the schools development in terms of physical development and e-maturity level are significantly related.
3. As to the issues and concerned encountered by the schools in the implementation of the GEM-CLIC Project, majority of the respondents encountered problem concerning on the insufficiency of computer units in schools as reflected by the mean rating of 3.3. Insufficiency of computer units ranked no.1 in hindering the sustainability of the ICT program. The least rated are on the unwillingness of teachers to use the ICT and the lack of teachers training on ICT.
Conclusions Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were formulated:
The level of Public secondary schools with GEM-CLIC project in South Central Mindanao is e-Matured. Which meant that it has 61% to 80% of level of implementation on teaching and learning process, ICT management use giving assistance to the community and strengthening stakeholders support for development.
The ICT in the schools were not utilized properly for students learning to improve students achievement as shown in their NAT results. • Stakeholders responded positively in creating a great physical development in all respondent schools in South Central Mindanao. New technology brought school physical development.
Some schools had difficulty in sustaining the ICT project mainly not because of the monetary problem but it’s on lack of willingness of school management and teachers to embrace the 21st century technology.
Recommendations • The public secondary schools e-maturity level should be given attention by the present administration by providing additional computer units to schools for an appropriate computer and student ratio. • The schools should make a spontaneous strong relationship with the community, PTA, LGU, NGO’s for the sustainability of the program for total school development. • Teachers should be trained and pushed to use the technology for them to become at par with the 21st century learner. • School library should be replaced by school e-library.
