Gatchalian, chairman of the Senate Committee on Basic Education, Arts, and Culture, said Senate Bill No. 1565, the proposed “Education in the New Normal Act” seeks to guide all public and private basic education institutions on how to reopen in the event and aftermath of a calamity, public health emergency, civil unrest, and other crisis situation that causes class disruption.
The bill particularly seeks to identify basic interventions and requirements in times of health-related emergencies, which include cleaning and disinfection protocol in schools, the provision of public health supplies, preventive public health programs, teacher training on disease prevention and management, modified attendance policy for teachers and learners at risk, and monitoring and reporting protocols for affected learners, among others.
The measure also calls for accessible and responsive services for learners with disabilities and other marginalized learners. The bill also seeks to put in place an education mapping system that will help DepEd determine access of learners and teachers to available distance learning tools to determine the learning delivery modes to be adopted, the alignment of learning materials, and curriculum adjustments.
