 EDUCATION IN THE NEW NORMAL
• Creation of IATF

• Issuances during Covid 19
 CREATION OF IATF
• The IATF-EID that was created through Executive Order No. 168 in 2014 which was issued
by then-President Benigno Aquino III. It was organized as government's instrument to
assess, monitor, contain, control and prevent the spread of any potential epidemic in the
Philippines.

• The Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID or simply

the IATF) is a task force organized by the executive of the Philippine government to
respond to affairs concerning emerging infectious diseases in the Philippines.
AITF COMMITTEE
 BASIC EDUCATION LEARNING CONTINUITY PLAN

• In a statement on May 8, Education Leonor Briones said the Basic Education - Learning

Continuity Plan (BE-LCP) is the Department of Education's major response and
commitment in protecting the health, safety, and well-being of learners, teachers, and
personnel.
• With the additional challenges in education brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the
Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) adopted a Learning Continuity Plan (LCP)
that aims to ensure the safety and well-being of learners, teachers, and personnel, and
the continuity of learning.
 IMPORTANCE OF CONTINUITY PLAN
• Although disruptive events can take many forms and many decisions will always have to be
made on-the-fly, a learning continuity plan provides a framework and preparation to guide
decisions, and it clearly indicates of who will make them. Any workable plan starts with
gathering support and creating a shared vision.
• BE-LCP is the result of consultations with partners and advisers, legislators, executives and
directors, teachers, parents, learners, and the general public. All these contributions were
integrated and harmonized by the Executive Committee and Management Committee under
my direction and drafted by my Undersecretary and Chief of Staff.
• BE-LCP covers the essential requirements of education in the time of COVID-19, e.g. most
essential learning competencies, multiple learning delivery modalities for teachers, school
leaders and learners, required health standards in schools and workplaces, and special
activities like Brigada Eskwela, Oplan Balik Eskwela, and partnerships.
• In the development of this Basic Education - Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP), inputs
from different units and field offices of the Department, from the Philippine Forum for
Inclusive Quality Basic Education or Educ Forum, and from the Chairpersons of the House
and Senate Committees on Basic Education, Rep. Roman Romulo and Senator Sherwin
Gatchalian, respectively, were gathered.
