To improve the quality of learning in the distance learning set-up, the Department of Education
(DepEd) launched ETUlay, a free online tutorial platform for learners and parents facilitated by expert
Educational technology Unit (ICTS-ETU), ETUlay was derived from the wordplay of ETU, and itulay
(Filipino for to bridge). Headed by ICTS-EdTech Unit Head Mark Anthony Sy at the start of 2021, the
initiative’s goals are: (1) to empower and give the parents full confidence in assisting their children, (2)
help learners to fully understand the lesson, and (3) help teachers in explaining the lesson.
ETUlay was also designed based on the weekly Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs)
to provide parents and learners an easier way to answer Self-Learning Modules (SLMs). While the said
initiative encourages learning of the topic and mastery, it also focused on having remediation programs
like on Mathematics. The livestream of the sessions was viewed on the official Facebook pages of
DepEd Philippines, DepEd Tayo, and DepEd Edtech Unit; and also on DepEd Edtech Unit and DepEd
Mr. Van Aldrich V. Rosal, Grade 5-Maagap adviser encouraged his learners to watch the ETUlay
online tutorial sessions. The learners experiencing difficulty in mastering the competencies in
Mathematics were advised to watch the Math Remediation Program for Grades 4-6. After doing so,
they were able to understand the lessons better and get higher scores in their post assessment. The
said tutorial program definitely helped in the achieving mastery of the competencies.
