    Speech Topic: Should face-to-face learning be implemented?
    Time frame: 3 to 4 minutes
    The global pandemic stopped most of our daily tasks. One of them is face-to-face
    classes. Neighboring nations here in Asia already returned to face-to-face classes,
    leaving the Philippines the only country to not allow such activity. Yet, the question
    remains the same: Should face-to-face learning be implemented? Well, it is
    complicated. If we resume face-to-face classes, it will put our children in danger.
    According to Harvard Health Publishing of the Harvard Medical School, children can
    develop COVID-19, some can even have severe symptoms and die. However, if we
    continue distance learning, literacy and productivity will go down. Sec. Karl Kendrick
    Chua of the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) stated that “limit to
    students' learning ability due to the lack of face-to-face classes for a year will result in a
    projected P11-trillion loss in productivity over the next 40 years.”
    The postponement of face-to-face learning will benefit us on the short term but
    damaging on the long run. As much as we want to resume to this type of learning,
    COVID-19 cases remain high and our vaccination rollout slow. If we wish to continue
    face-to-face learning, the government should implement changes on its approach on
    curbing the spread of the virus. One such change is testing. The government should
    stop relying upon private institutions and non-government organizations on COVID-19
    testing. Instead, the government should do its own testing through Local Government
    Units. Contact tracing must be fast and efficient, and vaccination drives must be
    effective and uncompromisable. If these changes happen, face-to-face classes will be
    safe for children and teachers alike.
    The argument against face-to-face learning is that it puts the life of our children in
    jeopardy. However, with the approval of Moderna and Pfizer on teens, safety is not an
    issue. Faster vaccine roll out might make face-to-face classes possible even with young
    children. Face-to-face learning should start from low-risk areas to high density
    population centers, albeit the urban population already achieved herd immunity.
    Resuming to face-to-face classes is a combined effort of the government, the people,
    and schools. With the rise of cases slowing down according to DOH, I think face-to-face
    learning should be implemented. Come November and 120 schools will pilot face-to-
    face classes. Let us pray for the success of these tests and hope that our students will
    return to pre-pandemic conditions. Thank you and have a great rest of your day.
