Their problems ranged from lack of money and tools to absence of internet access, such as that viral anecdote of a student going so far asThis prompted groups such as Project Walang Iwanan, a student-led advocacy, to come up with a donation effort to ease the burden of students who have no internet access at home.
Marjohn Baligod, a sophomore student at the University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao, was on the verge of not taking his online tests during their summer term in June due to internet constraints. According to Baligod, he came close to tears with surprise when he received the donation as he did not expect that the help would come at a time when he needed it most.
Seeing the impact of the initiative, Cureg has reopened the donation drive on August 17 to ensure that more students wouldn’t live worrying about the demands of online classes for one full semester. This will run until December 2020.For remote areas where internet connectivity is unreachable due to weak signal and limited electricity, radio-based instruction and modular classes are some of the only available resources for students.
Through these radio units, students can listen to the radio educational programs offered by Department of Education in their homes as an alternative means of learning.
