THE Philippines would have a hard time implementing online and distance learning, a private school federation said.“I think it will be very hard for us to sustain a fully online or a fully distance learning [set-up] for a long time,” Coordinating Council of Private Educational Association Managing Director Joseph Noel Estrada said in an online roundtable interview with The Manila Times.
Since no vaccine has been developed for the coronavirus disease, schools are preparing to adopt flexible learning options. President Rodrigo Duterte earlier said he would not allow face-to-face classes as long as there is no vaccine. But if education would be delivered in different modes, Estrada said student feedback should be gathered to determine the effectiveness of these flexible learning methods.
Meanwhile, a federation of private schools on Tuesday urged the government to act immediately to prevent mass lay-offs and school closures.
