Satellite-based cyber education was conceptualized in the Philippines during the presidency of Fidel Ramos according to Director Lorenzo Mateo, who manages the DepEd Cyber Education Project. Cyber education can benefit school administrators by enhancing school-based management through empowerment, decentralization, and efficient monitoring systems. It can also benefit teachers by providing unlimited access to professional development materials and frequent virtual training from experts to help close to half a million public school teachers nationwide.
