The Department of Education has established a centralized procurement information hub to increase transparency and public accountability in its operations. Education Secretary Sonny Angara announced the launch of the DepEd Procurement Dashboard Hub yesterday.
The new platform consolidates key procurement data into one accessible system. Users can view the total approved budget for contracts and the number of ongoing projects implemented by the DepEd central office under the General Appropriations Act.
“This dashboard reflects our commitment to President Bongbong Marcos’ vision of a digital-forward and transparent government where every peso for our learners is accounted for,” Angara said. The hub also includes a mechanism for the public to report suspected fraud or corruption.
The agency aims to ensure efficient delivery of resources such as textbooks, learning materials, information and communication technology equipment, and school infrastructure. “By opening our procurement processes to the public, we align with the President’s mandate to eliminate corruption,” Angara added.
