Abstract: 
This study delves into the application of 5G in the educational sector as a means of enhancing the teaching practice by engaging students. The main concern of the study is to educate the teachers in Tarlac, Philippines, not only about privacy and security issues but also about infrastructure development, and ensuring that they will be able to grasp the benefits of the technological era. Utilizing a quantitative framework, this study will involve 350 secondary school educators in both junior and senior high school levels which were chosen through stratified random sampling. It involves gathering the 5G technology knowledge along with the perceived implications and the problems that come with it by learning. The joint participation includes educators, administrators, parents, and students, when confronted with this issue may eliminate many kinds of defenses and is most likely to lead to the implementation of some initiatives.
This article explores how the 5th generation technology affects learning styles of teachers. It examines the interplay between 5G’s abilities and teaching techniques, in-service training, as well as learners’ participation and results. The study investigates how tutors adjust to and incorporates 5G into their pedagogy, the difficulties and what should be consider to be advantages for student engagement and scholarship.
