MANILA - The Department of Education will implement alternative ways of learning, such as lessons given through television and radio, amid the coronavirus disease crisis in the Philippines, Education
Sec. Leonor Briones said Thursday night.
"Right now we have over 7 million subscribers, wherein lessons homework, quizzes and tips to learners and teachers are all in DepEd Commons and are accessible even to the parents," she said. "Homes that don't necessarily have internet connectivity may have televisions. And the most and the best-used approach, of course, is radio-based instruction. Kasi ang television mga 1950s, 60s [while] radios have been around since the 1800s," she said.
The Presidential Communications Operations Office, which manages the flagship state broadcaster, People's Television Network, has volunteered its television facilities for the DepEd's use. The state-owned Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation has also offered its radio stations, Briones said.“If the DepEd uses this, then this entire frequency can be dedicated solely to DepEd,” Andanar said in a House panel hearing.
