MONITORING OF DISTRIBUTION AND RETRIEVAL OF MODULES

(GAPS/PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS)

Grade 9-Molave

I. INTRODUCTION
Since the beginning of the COVID 19 pandemic, the Department of Education aims to ensure that learning
continues and that every school has the sufficient materials to be used in the different learning delivery modalities
offered by the institution.
Malapad na Bato NHS, adopting the Printed Modular Distant Learning modality, secures the sufficiency and
availability of materials provided by the DepEd. Before the start of the school year 2020-2021, Self-Learning Modules
were distributed to every school however, there were problems and gaps encountered which challenged the
distribution and retrieval of these materials.

II. GAPS AND PROBLEMS

The following were the gaps and problems encountered during the distribution and retrieval of modules to
learners:
1. First was the insufficiency of printed modules. Teachers tend to print self-learning materials to complete
the number of modules to be distributed to the learners.
2. Second was the majority of the parents did not follow their assigned schedule in getting and retrieving the
modules. This resulted in the unnecessary reporting to schools of teachers as they went back and forth just so they
could entertain the parents. This was such a huge health risk for them given the circumstances of the COVID-19
infection.
3. Third and lastly was the late delivery of modules from the service providers which oftentimes, caused the
stress to the teachers as they needed to reproduce the modules themselves for the modular learners. It also meant
that the late modules would just pile up in the school and would no longer be usable for the time being.

III. SOLUTIONS
However, as an educator, it is important to deliver quality education to the learners despite the lapses
mentioned. In the experience of Malapad na Bato NHS, the teachers rose to the challenges and adopted to the new
system with collaboration and good communication channels as the key to champion the cause for quality education
amidst the pandemic. The following solutions were done to solve such shortcomings:
1. Clear instruction to parents on the schedule of distribution and retrieval of modules (through Group Chat
or GC and text message)
2. Calling the parents who failed to pick up and return the modules.
