Across the globe, it is an undeniable fact that the pandemic has altered all fields and
departments. Putting everyone on a remote situation having an individual’s life
completely pivoted from doing normal tasks that people do every day to having to
distance oneself from another, and although the consequences of pandemic are

on schools and learning institutions is still unclear. Moreover, the limitations due to
COVID-19 pandemic have put a huge strain on both public and private schools in
grades K-12.
A study from Armentrout (2021) features how parents would react with having to choose
from private and public schools for the continuance of the studies of their children. The
focus of the study is how parents weighed decisions on whether to transfer their
children from public to private schools or vice versa. The result shows that there are

3. (The study shows that students decide based on financial resources, and
whether the school offers availability of education despite certain limitations
towards accessibility of technologies (if online or modular learning)
It is clear that going online is one way to continue learning and this has brought
numerous difficulties for students, teachers, and parents.
Tadesse and Muluye (2020), synthesized how pandemic is perceived through the
lenses of education in developing countries. It is said that financial sufficiency and
network availability are major components why students decide where and when to
enroll. Moreover, the design curriculum, preparation on teaching-learning strategies,
and enhancement of online teaching and virtual class infrastructures are considered
less priority in developing countries like several Asian countries including the
Philippines.
In conclusion, the unequal access to resources and technology pushes the student to
make up in the decisions whether to take their education in private or public institutions.
