    Philippine Education System’s preparedness towards face-to-face classes

    Due to the crisis brought on by the Corona Virus Disease 2019, also known as the
    COVID-19, many people have suffered and been affected, including the education system
    of the Philippines, where many students are struggling academically due to new modes
    of learning: modular and online classes.

    For over two years, the world has not been the same as it was before due to the
    pandemic, and following the entire lockdown in March 2020, schools and educational institutions
    also shuttered in order to safeguard students and staff members from coming into touch with the
    virus.

    As a result, students and instructors were confronted with a new educational


    arrangement, either modular or online courses, under the new way of learning, which drew
    criticism from the public since the government, they claimed, was not ready for this.

    Due to the challenges encountered by both sides, people are calling for an academic
    break or ease, which began last year and has continued to the present, resulting in the
    #LigtasBalikEskuwela trend all around the country.

    According to UNICEF, many students did not enroll last year, with 29 percent of primary
    students not being contacted, which is alarming.

    Many students choose to discontinue their studies since some of them are not privileged
    to continue; others struggle with how to do online classes without the necessary resources, no
    guardians to educate them, and insufficient government assistance.

    Furthermore, the Philippines is one of only two nations in the world that have yet to
    reopen schools following the World Health Organization's proclamation of a pandemic in March
    last year.

    With the unending call for #LigtasBalikEskuwela, president Rodrigo Duterte approved
    120 schools for limited face-to-face classes last September, in order to know if the pilot run
    would be successful in reopening the schools amidst the deadly virus.
