Answer the following reflective questions in your Study Notebook:

1. The closure of schools around the world due to global pandemic posed serious

the fundamental concerns in terms of curriculum standards that need to be addressed in
order to ensure learning continuity? Cite a specific example. Do you think these concerns
could be solved by teachers alone? Why or why not?

nationwide, the congested curriculum has been perennial problem of teachers (Andaya,
2018). This is perceived to be one of the hindering factors on the poor performance of the
Filipino Learners. Do you agree with this observation? Why or why not?
