Almost 74 percent of Filipino schoolchildren surveyed nationwide are computer literate with access to the Internet, 50 percent male and 50 percent female, 45 percent aged 13-15 years, 61 percent high school students, and  54 percent enrolled in private schools.

These were among the findings of the study, Survey on Internet Access and Use by Filipino Children, conducted by AIJC for UNICEF. 

The study also showed that 9 out of 10 schoolchildren in the Visayas and Metro Manila are Internet users, indicating that they have greater access to the Internet than their counterparts in the Cordilleras and Mindanao.
