The Department of Education is preparing a contingency plan for the next school year in case the situation on COVID-19 crisis becomes worse. This is by using an online-based education called DepEd Commons which the department has already launched and already gaining positive outcomes from its unique users who are the students and teachers.
In an online interview with Usec. Annalyn Sevilla, she said that the department is doing its part to find ways for the learners to continue their study while at home and part of it is through online education.
"Ang sinuman pong may internet connection lalo na po 'yung mga nasa bahay ngayon, atin po kayong hinihikayat na gamitin ang DepEd Commons," Usec. Sevilla said.
"Makikita nyo po dito ang mga leksyon, exercises, and reviewers na ginawan po natin ng gamification, ibig sabihin ay parang laro sa mga bata," she added.
Usec. Sevilla, however, admits that this online platform has limitations since it primarily requires an internet connection to be able to use it. She also stressed that DepEd will continue to use the DepEd Commons until the situation becomes well to make sure that our children continue to learn while at home.
"Alam po natin na may limitasyon ito dahil iyong internet connection ay isang requirement. Pero pwede rin natin itong i-download, pagkatapos nating makaconnect ay pwede itong i-download at pwede na itong gamitin ng ating mga bata kung wala na siyang internet connection," Sevilla ended.
Nevertheless, the department is continuing to prepare for a regular opening of classes in June for the school year 2020-2021.
