This pandemic led to the loss of opportunities and chances for all the students and also for the
students who had just graduated , many months were wasted and their journey to success was
delayed . Despite of the pandemic the opening of classes this school year did not stop. Since face
to face classes is not yet possible the Department of Education implemented various types of
learning such as, Modular distance learning (MDL), Online distance learning (ODL), TV/Radio-
based instruction or Blended learning but out of these different types of distance learning, Online
learning is the most effective.
Online learning is the only one modality that is applicable today but many students are left
behind ,struggling because of some reasons and some students want to quit already .Lack of
gadgets is one of the reason why some students cannot learn through online ,they are just doing
their best to find ways to attend their classes , they borrow gadgets , they rent ,and some go to
internet cafes .Their parents can’t afford to buy them because of poverty specially during this
times of pandemic .Their everyday income are just enough for their food to eat and other daily
necessities . Poor internet connectivity is another hindrance for students to learn online, some
places in our country have slow internet connections but mostly no internet connection at all.
This is the most common issue and complain of all students in online learning, they cannot
attend their classes and cannot pass their activities and assignments on time or before the
deadline. High cost of load for wireless connection and mobile data is another complain again
for many students and their parents as well , because of the situation we are facing right now,
many parents are jobless and having a hard time in seeking jobs , that is why even Fifty pesos
of load is hard for them to provide for their children .Lack of knowledge of the students is
also a problem for the students and also for the teachers , unlike face to face classes , you can
just ask your teacher about the topic or the lessons you cannot understand anytime and the
teacher will explain it better than explaining it through video chat , teachers can’t easily monitor
the students properly in online classes.
There are many hindrances, problems, issues and complains in this type of learning in new
normal but this is the most effective way for all the students to be able to continue their
education and to continue reaching their goals and dreams. It is true that it gives us difficulties,
financially and mentally but try to look for the brighter and good side of it. We cannot predict
what will happen, if this pandemic will end sooner or later that’s why the Department of
Education tried their best to find ways to continue and open the classes, they implemented
different types of learning modalities so that this school year will not be wasted. Their one and
only purpose is to help and give continues education for every Filipino learner.
We will go back to school, shake our hand to our schoolmates, hug our friends, greet our
teachers without observing social distancing, wearing face mask and face shields very soon.
Everything will go back to normal and everything that this pandemic took away from us will
surely return to us soon. In this trying times learning should continue whether the distance
learning is online, modular or blended as long as students will be able to learn the necessary
skills expected to them.
