“We are highly indebted to our partners and leaders who are with us in ensuring the safety of our learners, teachers, and parents in these difficult times,” DepEd said in a statement. In particular, the agency thanked local government units , non-government organizations , stakeholders, and President Duterte for their “overwhelming support.”
Despite the ongoing health crisis situation in the country, the government – through DepEd – has decided to push through with the resumption of classes to ensure that learning of millions of students will continue using various alternative delivery modalities. Aside from streamlining the K to 12 curriculum to the Most Essential Learning Competencies , one of major key components of the BE-LCP is the multiple learning delivery modalities – with blended learning and distance learning as major options.
As it moves into the operationalization of its BE-LCP, DepEd is also preparing teachers and school leaders for multiple learning delivery modalities while setting up minimum health standards in schools and workplaces. It also strengthens its partnerships and makes necessary adjustments in finance, procurement and delivery as well as in monitoring and evaluation – among others.
