Philippine Education Amidst the Pandemic

For some, the pandemic is an excuse to relax while also learning in the comfort of their
homes. But, that is simply not the case in the Philippines considering how our country ranks
among the lowest in internet stability. To address this problem, DepEd proposed a solution
which would enable students to still continue learning.
Various learning options are encouraged to facilitate the delivery of education. These
include blended learning, distance learning (online classes), and other modes of delivery
where students must learn to adopt more flexible learning method which will become a new
normal.
Students and teachers alike are sharing the same burden. We cannot deny the fact that all
of us are still trying to cope with the current methods of learning. That is why, we should do
whatever we can to help ourselves to get through this crisis.
