still remain today in pros and cons we raise the question should students be allowed to attend face-to-face classes again how can students get used to studying under the new normal is our education system able to cope with the continuing changes brought with the pandemic i'm under secretary joel c your moderator for the day students may be able to go back to having face-to-face classes just as president duterte recently ordered but are we ready to fill up our schools again when we still face the risk of kovid 19 and how is our educational system coping up with a pandemic so to answer all those questions ladies and gentlemen um i hope you can hear me well even if i'm outside thank you yes so when we return we'll begin our discussion on the return to face-to-face classes as proposed so

face-to-face classes from the department of education you say and how do you plan to go about this yes in the last cabinet meeting in the 49 cabinet meeting held us december 14 2020 was not the resumption of face-to-face classes already but rather the recommendation of secretary briones to conduct a pilot or dry run like a study if we it how visible or how we will be able to really ensure safe return to school so this will be under very limited scope and under very stringent conditions at young banker or correct by 1100 plus but that is not yet the ones that will be recommended finally or approved finally to be covered nominated schools directors in her presentation to the president in the cabinet is that uh there are as i mentioned very stringent conditions the first is of course it must can only happen if the school is in an area classified already a slow risk which is minimum mgcq the second is there is demonstrated shared responsibility uh among the the lgu's and the parents malina yuma standards are familiar my physical distancing inside the classroom hindi to full full class at any one time frequent handwashing uh agreement with the lg use equations management including uh crisis management in any case or an unknown incident positive or exposed and uh so hindi way to arrow it will not be a resumption of the old classes that are being conducted but rather this will still be combined or blended with distance learning so i'm scheduling pudito i start a girl or intermittent at distance learning modalities with an opportunity for teachers to meet the students so hindi papuleto but only proposed pilot testing uh yes you said and after this pilot testing if you call it uh you'll find this secretary briones for her final recommendation we want to see [Music] in a safe and orderly manners the shared responsibilities are there aggression finance and resource considerations that we have to put in place uh with face to face so uh on commitment the secretary briones need to say inappropriate is we will come back to the she will come back to the president to report the result of this pilot testing and make her final recommendation on whether we can already resume under certain conditions some face-to-face process combined with distance learning but in the public school system uh precisely uh knowing the limitations of our learners i we have the uh included not just digital online but also printed modules so that we can support the learning process even if the student or the household does not have access to gadgets or connectivity so let
