The Relationship of Access in Technology to the Teachers Productivity in the Last Mile Schools

Access to technology has become a critical factor in enhancing educational outcomes worldwide. In the Philippines, last mile schools-remote, resource-constrained schools-face significant infrastructural challenges that limit teachers’ access to technological tools. Understanding how access to technology influences teachers’ productivity in these schools is vital to bridging the digital divide and improving educational equity. While numerous studies have explored technology integration in urban and well-resourced schools, there is limited empirical research focusing specifically on the impact of technology access on teacher productivity in last mile schools in the Philippines. This gap hinders the development of targeted interventions for these underserved educational contexts.
