BACKGROUND

MANILA (REUTERS) - WITH schools in the Philippines only due to reopen when a vaccine
for COVID-19 has been found, educational authorities are racing to devise a distance learning
regime for 27 million children by August, when the summer holidays end.

That poses a huge challenge in an archipelago nation of 107 million, where many households
have no access to the internet or a computer, and teachers fear they will not be ready to roll
out remote learning in two months.

Duterte last month said resuming face-to-face classes without a vaccine for COVID-19 "spells
disaster".

Elsewhere in the world, schools are starting to reopen for students with social distancing
regimes to keep infection rates down, and amid fears about children missing out on weeks of
their education.

However, Duterte's education secretary, Leonor Briones, is confident alternative approaches

can work until a vaccine is developed.

"The president cares about our students, he told us to find other ways (to teach) besides
students going back to school," Briones said in an online media briefing.

She said the department was laying the groundwork for a different kind of learning using
technology including radio, television, online classes and modular learning. 

More than 1,000 people in the Philippines have died due to COVID-19 and nearly 23,000
have been infected. Briones, 79, has herself recovered from COVID-19.

There are more than 100 potential vaccines being developed globally, but most estimates it
would be at least a year before any are ready for deployment.

School Learning Action Cell Report on
Policy Guidelines on the Implementation of Learning Delivery
Modalities for the Formal Education
NARRATIVE

Last Wednesday, August 12, 2020, Pulo National High School conducted their SLAC
session on “Policy Guidelines on the Implementation of Learning Delivery Modalities
for the Formal Education” thru the initiative and efforts of Sir Sergio B. Gonzales, school
head, and Sir Jon-Jon R. Daquiz, LAC coordinator.

With the aim of orienting all the teaching staff of the different learning delivery
modalities available in line with the upcoming opening of classes, the said SLAC session
happened from 9 in the morning up to 3 in the afternoon.

With the safety-first policy in mind, the PNHS family followed all the protocols set by
the IATF in conducting face to face meeting.

All is well all throughout the seminar as all of the topics are discussed in full details,
thanks to our resource speakers, Sir Sergio and Sir Jon-Jon. They really tried their best to
elaborate those complicated terms and made them easy to grasp.

Each participant is given a chance to ask question/s to the resource speakers to

whatever things or ideas unclear to them. Ma’am Jennifer acted as the session moderator.

To break the ice, Sir Gerardo and Sir Christopher, both gave a fun-filled activity that
everyone really enjoyed.

The SLAC session was hosted by Ma’am Avie and ended with the passing of the
desired output.
