REFLECTION

Education never stops as stated by the Secretary of Education Leonor Briones.

As the Covid-19 pandemic changes the platform of education worldwide, leaders,
educators, strategists provide viable solutions to continue education and rise
above this crisis with solid learning continuity plan.
Although the Philippine government strongly disallows face to face mode of
learning instruction unless a vaccine for Covid-19 is discovered, the Department
of Education presents different learning modalities which are means of continuing
delivery of instruction in this time of crisis.
DepEd introduces distance learning as the New Normal in continuing education.
Distance learning refers to a learning delivery modality where learning takes place
between the teacher and the learners who are geographically remote from each
other during instruction examples of this are modular, online and TV or radio-
based instructions.
With the current situation, DepEd develops its operational basic education
Learning Continuity Plan (LCP) S.Y. 2020-2021 to provide clear guidance to all
offices, units, schools, and Community Learning Centers (CLC).
The learning continuity plan sounds feasible. However, as perfect as it could be,
there are still challenges that the Department of Education needs to address like
the distribution of quality-assured learning modules as soon as possible for
reproduction, the continued threat of the virus, and more.
Personally, I agree that education must endure amidst crisis. Plans are made to
provide possible solutions. If these plans were not fruitful, then, work on for
another solution. We have to exhaust all the possibilities and try to test workable
options. As the virus bares its fangs, we have to be resilient and positive.
