MANILA, Philippines — Senatorial candidate Guillermo Eleazar offered strong support on Thursday for the Department of Education’s (DepEd) “recovery plan” to address the education sector’s shortcomings in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

Eleazar believes it is critical for the government to develop a comprehensive recovery plan in order to prevent the education system from collapsing, given that the protracted coronavirus outbreak raises doubts about the full resumption of in-person sessions.

“Mula noong magsimula ang pandemya, nakita natin na isa sa mga pinakaapektadong sektor ang mga estudyante at mga guro. Marami ang hindi agad nakapag-adapt sa online classes lalo na iyong mga nasa liblib na lugar at malalayong probinsya kaya napilitan na lang tumigil sa pag-aaral (Since the pandemic started, we have seen that the most affected sectors are those of the students and teachers. A lot of them were unable to adapt to online classes especially those living in far-flung areas and provinces, forcing them to drop from school),” Eleazar said.

This is why he continued, there is a need to bridge the distance or disconnect that students are experiencing.

DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones has stated that the government is working on a recovery strategy that will serve as a roadmap for schools in addressing the pandemic’s learning gaps.

Eleazar has stated that he favors the creation of learning support centers in schools as well as community-based learning spaces for pupils.

Aside from that, the Department of Education’s planned recovery tactics includes extending the school calendar, increasing learning time, conducting summer remediation and intervention programs, and hiring more learning support assistants.

Eleazar also requested that the government make all learning resources available offline so that kids can use them even if they do not have access to the internet.

He believes it is also useful for pupils if they are given devices to use for blended learning.
