Briones, education ministers unite to ensure learning continuity

amid COVID-19

PASIG CITY, June 19, 2020 –

No Filipino learner will be left behind amidst the crisis
As part of the Philippines’ short and long term strategies, Secretary
Briones introduced the BE-LCP as a guideline for the department on
how to deliver education in time of the COVID-19 pandemic while
ensuring the health, safety, and welfare of all learners, teachers and
personnel of DepEd.
“The first principle that we adhered to and which we are committed to,
in compliance with the President’s directive is to protect the safety,
health and well-being of our learners, teachers and personnel and to
prevent further transmission of COVID-19. But at the same time, we
want to ensure learning continuity. Our battle cry is learning must
continue,” Briones said in the forum.

 Briones emphasized that online learning is only one option from the
menu of learning modalities. These modalities will be offered
appropriately depending on the situation of the learners’ households.

“We have come out with a variety, with menu of options, online is not the
only answer, there’s a huge debate in the Philippines on how useful or
whether it is really a good way of teaching learners, so we have online, we
have televisions, we have radio. If all else fails, then learning modules are
being printed so that these will be delivered in various pick-up points or
either parents or for the village officials to distribute to the learners,” she
said.
