Education has been one of the most affected when pandemic COVID-19 strikes, many
students, parents and teachers adjusts for the new normal which students may find it really
hard to adjust as well as the teachers. This new normal in our education offers modular and
online classes, at first students and teachers really find it hard to learn and adapt this set up
yet, as time passes by we tend to get used to it and adjust with these new settings on how
we will learn. Even though we faced struggles in terms of education in the time of pandemic,
we are still eager to learn and have knowledge. Especially our teachers who did their best
to adjust and learn for technology just to teach and bring knowledge to students. Pandemic
is one of the big challenges that we face in education, many students stop because they
cannot afford to have gadgets and buy load and other has to work for their family. Yet the
eagerness of students who still want to continue their studies and learn really inspires us no
matter what they are facing they still choose to study for their dreams. And of course we
cannot discrete the hard work and efforts of our teachers who spent double efforts in making
modules for their students. This tells us that no matter what struggles Filipinos went through
we still face it fearless and we are still eager to bring education as priority for the future of
the children.
