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 a 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 estimate it would be at least a year before
any are ready for deployment.

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.
