    The document discusses the challenges of education in the new normal brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. It identifies several significant challenges - (1) losses in learning due to interrupted schooling, (2) increased dropout rates as engagement decreases, (3) lack of access to school meals for many children, and (4) unequal access to technology and online learning due to digital divide. It emphasizes the need to adopt remote learning strategies using mixed media to continue education and address learning losses. Maintaining student and parent engagement is also critical to reduce dropout rates. Ensuring access to school meals and overcoming challenges of digital divide and internet connectivity are equally important to achieve quality education for all during this crisis.

    What I Have Learned

    What are the Challenges of Education in the New Normal?


    We are living amidst what is potentially one of the greatest threats in our
    lifetime to global education, a gigantic educational crisis. As of March 28, 2020, the
    COVID-19 pandemic is causing more than 1.6 billion children and youth to be out
    of sch
    We were already experiencing a global leaning crisis, as many students were in
    school, but were not learning the fundamental skills needed for life. The World
    the percentage of children who cannot read
    and understand at age 10 stood at 53% of children in low- and middle-income

    10
    countries before the outbreak started. This pandemic has the potential to worsen
    these outcomes even more if we do not act fast.

    What should we be worried about in this phase of the crisis that might have
    an immediate impact on children and youth? (1) Losses in learning (2) Increased
    dropout rates (3) Children missing their most important meal of the day (4)
    Slow Internet Connection. Moreover, most countries have very unequal education
    systems, and poor children will feel these negative impacts disproportionately.
    When it rains, it pours for them.

    Losses in learning or Inequality of access to and usage of information


    and communications technology (ICT).
    Starting the school year late or interrupting it completely disrupts the lives
    of many children, their parents, and teachers. A lot can be done to at least reduce
    the impact through remote learning strategies. Richer countries are better prepared
    to move to online learning strategies, although with a lot of effort and challenges for
    teachers and parents. In middle-income and poorer countries, the situation is very
    mixed and if we do not act appropriately, the vast inequality of opportunities that
    exists egregious and unacceptable to start with will be amplified. Many children
    do not have a desk, books, internet connectivity, a laptop at home, or supportive
    parents. Others do. What we need to avoid or minimize as much as possible is
    for those differences in opportunities to expand and cause the crisis to have an

    Fortunately, we are seeing a lot of creativity in the Department of Education.


    Rightly, so, the agency are worried that relying exclusively on online strategies will
    imply reaching only children from better-off families. Radio and TV are also very
    powerful tools. The advantage we have today, is that through social networks,
    WhatsApp or SMS, Department of Education can communicate effectively with
    parents and teachers and provide guidelines, instructions and structure to the
    learning process, using content delivered by radio or TV. Remote learning is not
    only about online learning, but also about mixed media learning, modular
    approach with the objective of reaching as many students as possible, and today.
    Staying Engaged

    Maintaining the engagement of children, particularly young secondary


    school students is critical. Dropout rates are still very high in many countries, and
    a long period of disengagement can result in a further increase. Going to school is
    not only about learning math and science, but also about social relationships and
    peer-to-peer interactions. It is about learning to be a citizen and developing social
    skills. That is why it is important to stay connected with the school by any means
    necessary. For all students, this is also a time to develop socio-emotional skills and
    learn more about how to contribute to society as a citizen. The role of parents and
    family, which has always been extremely important, is critical in that task. So, a lot
    of the help that Department of Education provide, working through mass media,
    should also go to parents. Radio, TV, Webinar for parents can all be used to provide
    tips and advice to them on how to better support their children. Radio and TV
    stations will recognize their key role in supporting national education goals and

    11
    hopefully, improve the quality of their programming understanding their immense

    process, and the DepEd will have a much clearer understanding of the gaps and
    challenges (in connectivity, hardware, integration of digital tools in the curriculum,

    of this can strengthen the future education system in a country.

    Meals

    In many parts of the world, school feeding programs provide children with
    their most nutritious meal of the day. They are essential for the cognitive
    development and well-being. These programs are complex logistical and
    administrative endeavors. It is not easy, but countries should find the way to
    provide those meals using the school buildings in an organized fashion, community
    buildings or networks, or, if needed, distribute directly to the families. If delivering
    meals or food is not feasible logistically, cash transfer programs should be
    expanded or implemented to compensate the parents. The process of reopening of
    schools might be gradual, as authorities will want to reduce agglomeration or the
    possibility of a second wave of the pandemic, which can affect some countries. In
    that uncertain context, it might be better to make decisions assuming a longer,
    rather than a shorter scenario. The good news is that many of the improvements,
    initiatives, and investments that school systems will have to make might have a
    positive long-lasting effect.

    Slow Internet Connection

    Slow internet connection is probably the worst enemy of online classes. Now, our
    educational system is still struggling to adjust to the change brought about by the
    K-12, and so to bring up online classes causes yet another major change to the
    educational system. It may take a while for such a new normal. There are
    challenges to the e-learning model too, as noted in the E-skwela seminar of
    teachers who experience discomfort in conducting their classes online. The answer
    to the Philippine challenge is to on board teachers as quickly as possible, as well as
    laying out the groundwork and a roadmap toward making online learning a
    complementary part of education even after the crisis has passed.

    Having said that, there are certain perennial issues that still plague eLearning.
    First and foremost is the digital divide in the country and there are still many

    recent outbreak has left many experts wondering the course of events in future and
    online learning is the only thing right now, which can save our life from coming to a
    complete standstill.
