Presidential spokesman Harry Roque made the statement following concerns regarding the government’s blended learning approach while the country faces Typhoon Quinta.
In his Monday presser, Roque said that the children’s education can push through even with the typhoon since the blended learning approach does not solely rely on internet connection.“Ang importante po ang mga magulang, habang may bagyo, siguraduhin niyo po na kung pupwedeng mag-aral ang mga bata eh pag-aralan yung binigay na modules ,” he added.
Classes have been suspended in many areas in the Philippines, including Manila, due to Typhoon Quinta which may cause a power outage and loss of internet connectivity.According to Roque, Education Secretary Leonor Briones has ordered school divisions to coordinate with each other and provide the necessary intervention to students amid online learning.
He's all heart. Not 'stay safe.' Not 'we're here to help if you need it.'
