Vice President Sara Duterte, who is also education secretary, explained the order was intended to minimize biases on the part of teachers and prevent “criminal” incidents from happening.And this is what the order wants to avoid, Poa said.
“Department Order 49 was not meant to sow fear. We want to maintain professionalism among our teachers,” he said. Poa said teachers and their students could still be “friends” on social media and create group chats but must strictly discuss school-related matters. Meanwhile, Poa admitted there were learning gaps affecting students as a result of the modular modality applied because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
And these learning gaps are being addressed by the DepEd starting off with the full in-person classes.“That is why we need to start learning recovery. Each region was asked to contextualize their learning recovery plans so it could be implemented in the field. We need to start that and the good way to start that is we need to bring our learners back to school,” Poa said.RELATED STORY:
