Some 80 universities and colleges in the Philippines will incorporate open source subjects into their computer science (CS) and information technology (IT)-related courses later this year under a program that seeks to help schools develop more employable graduates. A joint project of the Gesellschaft fuer Technische Zusammenarbeit, a development arm of the German government; Wireless Services Asia, a private European company; and EITSC of the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, Positive encourages local tertiary-level schools with CS or IT-related subjects to download and use free open source course materials developed by six partner schools.
