Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Joy and concerns as Philippines schools reopen
Millions of students in the Philippines had been attending school only online for over two years until just recently because of the coronavirus pandemic. It was one of the world’s longest lockdowns imposed on schools. Now, the government allowed schools to resume classes at school. For some students, it was their first time wearing a school uniform, going to school, and meeting their classmates and teachers face-to-face even with their masks on. Online classrooms indeed helped prevent the coronavirus from spreading, but the class hours were limited only to a few hours a day. Also, it was still difficult for young students to pay attention to classes by themselves. There are students in rural areas who don’t have good internet connections. After two years of absence from face-to-face learning, teachers found that many students miss some of the expected competencies. Now, both students and teachers have to make a good transition to ordinary school life and curriculum.
Enjoy reading the article about the joy and challenge that students in the Philippines have.
