For a group of education workers, the conduct of online classes instead of suspending classes during calamities supported by the Department of Education (DepEd) is “unrealistic and insensitive.”

“In situations like typhoon and calamity, safety is our priority,” said Alliance of Concerned Teachers Philippines Chairperson Vladimer Quetua in a statement on Sunday, July 30.

During the post-State of the Nation Address discussions on July 26, DepEd Undersecretary and Spokesperson Michael Poa that DepEd is tapping into technology to address perennial problems in basic education. By institutionalizing blended learning, Poa said that only in-person classes are being suspended during calamities. “Our learners continue to study at home using what we call alternative delivery modes whether it be modules, blended learning, online learning --- that's what we are doing right now,” he explained in English and Filipino.“This is also insensitive to the actual situation of our general public during calamities,” Quetua said.
