PNU Flexible Learning Delivery: KAWAY-ARALAN sa BAGONG KADAWYAN The Philippine Normal University welcomes you to academic year 2020-2021.

We have entered a new age in education. The COVID-19 pandemic hastened Education 4.0. Teaching has been altered re-shaping our educational landscape. Amidst these changes, it
is imperative that as the National Center for Teacher Education, we become active participants in molding the new normal.
In navigating the new terrain in education, indigenous concepts and ideas could be utilized to appropriate concepts and cushion the impact of change as we embrace the challenges. In
doing so, a working concept where foreign influences and local peculiarities could be integrated is welcomed. Thus, we wish to call this new era in terms of our local concept, Bagong
Kadawyan1 (our translation of New Normal).

Given the challenges and opportunities at hand, the new era in education is open for anyone who actively shape and define its parameters and dynamics. PNU shall continue to provide
the leadership in this Bagong Kadawyan in Philippine Education knowing that “the future belongs to those who have the vision to see it.”

Kaway-Aralan (Flexible Learning Delivery)

The nomenclature is derived from the Filipino words for bamboo (kawayan) and a place for studying (aralan). The bamboo sways/waves (kaway) which characterizes flexibility and like
the bamboo’s resilience, Philippine education’s approach to the imminent new habits should take inspiration from the modest bamboo. As narrated by PNU’s notable alumnus, I.V.
Mallari, in the literature classic, Pliant like the bamboo: “Verily, the Filipino is like the bamboo tree. In its grace, in its ability to adjust itself to the peculiar and inexplicable whims of fate,
the bamboo tree is his expressive and symbolic national tree.” By branding our learning delivery as Kaway-Aralan, we tap the imagination of educators to explore appropriate
pedagogies. Kaway-Aralan provides a platform to contextualize and localize teaching theories, approaches, and strategies.
