As much as I look forward to teach this school year, I might not – not by choice but by circumstance.
Under the current health crisis, it is a dilemma to reconcile the importance of continuity of education vis-à-vis health security above all. The Department of Education released their Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan that lays the"framework" for the upcoming school year. It calls for the collaboration of teachers, and the utilization of ICT and digital connectivity in the delivery of learning, on top of adherence to health protocols imposed by the government.
Layer after layer of problems put pressure on our teachers. We know – we have to deliver. We owe our learners transformative education, but the government owes us too. It owes us transformation in the workplace, in infrastructure, in funding, and in labor security. We have always stretched our energy and our finances to be the teachers we promised this world. I hope the government could do the same for us.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted on education institutions, but the core of its impacts lies not solely on the threat of infection, but of the long existing problems in education that have constantly been overlooked. These problems have been acknowledged in words, but acknowledging these problems is one thing, and genuinely responding to them is another.
