Zamboanga del Norte, October 7, 2024 — The launch of the Electronic Division Achievement Test (e-DAT) marked a groundbreaking moment in educational assessment, thanks to the innovative SilVerTek initiative. This paperless examination, uniquely executed by the Division of Zamboanga del Norte, aligns seamlessly with the demands of 21st-century learning and teaching.

SilVerTek, a pioneering educational tool, was developed by Engr. Oliver Silvano, a visionary educator from Bacungan District. Recognized for his contributions, the Division of Zamboanga del Norte embraced his innovation, reflecting a broader shift in educational practices to accommodate the rapid technological advancements of our time.

In this new era, education must evolve. The 21st century demands a more integrated approach to learning, and SilVerTek represents an essential adaptation to meet these challenges. The e-DAT was not merely an examination; it was a comprehensive assessment that prompted inquiries into its implementation and success. However, with the collaborative efforts of the NEXUS group, school ICT coordinators, school heads, supervisors, and division personnel, the initiative was successfully realized.

The potential outcomes of SilVerTek are promising. By streamlining the testing process, this innovation alleviates some of the burdens faced by educators while empowering learners to become competitive on a global scale. As we embrace this technological shift in education, the future looks bright for both teachers and learners in Zamboanga del Norte.
