    - The document discusses arguments for and against academic freeze during the COVID-19 pandemic. It recognizes that while an academic freeze may leave many unemployed, the current system is failing to provide quality education as mandated. - Issues that have arisen under the "new normal" of online learning include lack of access to technology, difficulties concentrating alone, mental health problems, and financial burdens - especially for those most disadvantaged. - Rather than an academic freeze, the document argues we need a safe return to in-person classes to allow for comfortable learning with teachers and peers, where the environment is equitable for all students. The government must take action and develop concrete plans to ensure no students are left behind.

    Academic Freeze

    - No, Academic freeze should not be what we yearn for. I agree that learning doesn’t need
    to stop as the youth deserves quality education. Having Academic Freeze will only leave
    a lot of workers unemployed and more stomachs left starving since there is a no work no
    pay policy
    - As the decisions of the higher ups are against academic freeze and still pushed through
    the academic year. Many have said that we can do is learn to adapt.

    - But is our educational system really giving us that quality? According to the 1987
    Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines Article 14 Section 1, “The State shall
    protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels, and shall
    take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all”

    - Due to the pandemic, it showed the true face of our system. Amidst the pandemic the
    government prioritized the ABS-CBN shutdown, passing the terror bill, while the covid
    cases continues to rise and still no nationwide mass testing. The government is failing to
    address the pandemic, yet they still manage to hold the door open for capitalism
    -
    - As I’ve realized that Academic Freeze isn’t the one we need, but what we truly need is a
    safe comeback to open classes. Where we are comfortably learning and conversing with
    our mentors and co-students. Where the environment for learning is even.
    - There are many problems that occur in this new normal; problems with connection,
    problems with digesting the learnings by yourself, financial problems, the lack of
    empathy to the underprivileged. Mental health problems. Not just students but
    professors are also struggling.
    -
    - These times proven that even the ones who are privileged and has advantages when it
    comes to access to technology are said to be struggling with learning by themselves,
    how more the ones who are at a disadvantage but still striving for they do not want to be
    left behind.

    - That is why we need a safe return, I do not support Academic Freeze, but I
    wholeheartedly support A safe return to school. We need to pressure the government to
    do their responsibility and urging them to give concrete plans and take action,. So that
    no students are left behind and teachers can teach again to their full potential.
