COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a new
strain of coronavirus. This new virus and disease were unknown before the
outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The whole world is affected
and currently suffering from this, lives have changed the way it was. Job, way
of living, health, economy, and education are all affected.
Despite the pandemic, government officials had
found ways in order to continue just like life before the pandemic. Social
distancing and wearing face masks are few ways to avoid infection of viruses. The
education also continued, it is the distance learning. To help schools adopt
this flexible learning scheme, CHED developed PHL CHED Connect which houses
free higher education materials that can be used for teaching, learning, and
research purposes. Meanwhile, the lower education, led by DepEd, has also been
preparing for remote learning through the DepEd Computerization Program which
aims to provide equipment to all public schools, and the Public Education
Network which ensures that all schools and offices are connected.
The downside of this new system of education is
we are not able to learn decently. We can’t perform demonstrations and
experiments for future purposes. Lack of signal and internet connections are
very common especially here in the Philippines. Parents who haven’t graduated
can’t teach their children properly. Poverty also is an obstacle through this
new education system.
Perhaps this is only the start, there’s always room for improvement. Maybe they could sight these challenges that we’ve been
suffering too. Enhancement of this system is a must, good quality always wins. We
will also win over this pandemic, we need to cooperate and think wisely.
