Coping with Online Learning
The Department of Education (DepEd) has announced President Rodrigo Duterte’s decision to defer the opening of school year 2020-2021 to October 5, 2020, from the original date of August 14, 2020. This is to give schools ample time to prepare for online distance learning as the country battles the pandemic.
However, private schools have been given the green light by the government to start classes before October 5 as long as they are using only distance learning modalities. As most private schools have begun classes last August, slow internet connection, high workload, and other problems are being experienced by both parents and students. Thankfully, there are ways to cope with online learning in this report. https://youtu.be/GyE7IXCHrmI
