The paper examines worldwide patterns of operations of IT education using 31 countries’ data on IT education focusing on contexts, inputs, processes and outcomes of IT education with the end-in-view of deriving sets of national policies for IT education in the Philippines. In all, 13 variables were used as multivariate inputs to a cluster analysis algorithm which aim to cluster countries in terms of a 13 x 13 similarity matrix utilizing a hierarchical cluster method. Data per variable needed in the cluster analysis were obtained from the internet in most of the countries identified. Results revealed that developing countries’ IT education differed from the IT education of developed and less developed countries in terms of: Contexts (Level of Development, Economic Basis, Educational System), Input (Percent of IT Professionals, National Literacy Rate, Percentage of Universities offering IT Courses), Process (Nature of Tertiary level Curriculum, Number of Years of exposure to IT, Provision of OJT in the curriculum, Instructional system, Admission status of IT courses), Output (Level of IT specialization), and Outcome (Employment status). On the basis of the hierarchical cluster analysis performed, policy recommendations are given to enhance the delivery of IT education in the Philippines and to sharpen its contribution to national development.

Findings revealed that information security is not yet fully implemented among the SUCS, this is a clear indication of failure or disaster, and these institutions are vulnerable to information security threats. SUCs are encouraged to implement comprehensive information security program at a strategic level involving the board of regents and top executives for safety and security.

Teacher Supervisors

Progress in information technology that is so fast is expected to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. In the world of information technology education can help and support the learning process. Especially now all the learning process activities can be done online. Progress in information technology must also be supported by quality human resources. In this case the teacher is very instrumental in the utilization of information technology in the world of education. Because the teacher is one of the education supervisors who will encourage the advancement of the quality of education in Indonesia. But in reality the quality of teachers in Indonesia is inadequate. There are still many teachers who cannot use information technology in learning especially for teachers who are senior or old. As teacher supervisors, they must improve the quality of their performance in using technology. To improve the ability of teachers to use technology, ongoing training is needed to use technology. The role of the head of the school as a supervisor is also needed, namely the principal is obliged to supervise, control, and approach the teacher in terms of the use of technology in the learning process.
