DepEd urged to produce more modules to aid typhoon-affected students

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian who chairs the Senate Committee on Basic Education, Arts, and Culture has called on to the Department of Education (DepEd) to produce more of the self-learning modules to aid the students who suffered and were put in a complicated situation because of typhoon Ulysses. It is for them to cope up with their studies despite the difficulties.

Yung mga pamilyang lumikas ay naiwan at hindi napo nadala ‘yung mga modules na ito. Malaking problema po para sa pamilya dahil itong modules na ito ay naka disenyo para makapag-aral po ng sarili ang mga bata.

said Gatchalian in a “Laging Handa” public briefing.

Kaya nakikita ko dito, una, magbigay ulit tayo ng mas maraming modules pa at mag imprinta at siguraduhin na tuloy-tuloy ang pagdi-distribute ng mga modules na ito sa mga estudyante,

he added.

He also reemphasized the need for LGU's to study the possibility of allowing in-person learning in “purok” workshops especially in areas where there are no reports of the virus transmission. Allowing limited face-to-face learning while practicing social distancing may help students cope with their studies.

Gatchalian said that it is difficult to teach students without any modules and some parents are concerned over their safety.

Kaya mas mahalaga po na magkaroon muna ng interaskyon sa pagitan ng ating mga estudyante at sa ating mga guro,

he said.
