| Youth-Led Action Research on The Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Marginalised Youth | E-Net Philippines | Report | The nationwide lockdowns and the resultant closure of educational institutions and markets have reportedly led to a rise in several shadow pandemics: of digital divides and school dropouts, of unemployment and food insecurity, of domestic violence and child marriages, of fake news and social stigma, and of physical disorders and mental illnesses. Thus, among the most vulnerable, but also further excluded from the mainstream discourse and phases of planning during the pandemic, have been the vulnerable youth, whose everyday lives and future aspirations have taken a serious hit in the ‘new normal’. They continue to face significant disruptions and changes on multiple fronts, at home, their community and the economy. Yet, as this pandemic continues to exacerbate, several youth have also been at the forefront amongst those mobilizing to shape creative forms of resistance, solidarity, and claim-making, particularly for social protection and relief assistance. | 2021 |
| E-Net Philippines Report YAR COVID Follow-Up Action Project | E-Net Philippines | Report | “Youth-led Action-oriented Research (YAR) on the Impact of COVID-19 on Marginalized Youth”.

| NEWSLETTER: Education Out Loud Asia-Pacific Regional Management Unit | E-Net Philippines | Newsletter | E-Net is featured on the First Edition of the Newsletter from the Education Out Loud Asia-Pacific Regional Management Unit Education Out Loud (EOL) is Global Partnership for Education’s fund for advocacy and social accountability, that supports civil society to be active and influential in shaping education policy to better meet the needs of communities, especially of vulnerable and marginalized populations. E-Net highlighted the issue of access to quality equitable education is more challenging now and even after the lockdown because of the “new normal” lifestyle. How could marginalized learners adapt into this high technology learning? How would they practice handwashing if there’s water shortage in schools and houses? How would the practice of social distancing be observed when a class is composed of 60 students due to inadequate classrooms? Would these learning modes lessen or increase their workload of teachers? E-Net is pushing for a responsive national and local education and health system, appropriate financing for disasters of this type and magnitude, comprehensive school safety and safe learning community. | 2020 |

| ALS for Lifelong Learning | E-Net Philippines | Policy Brief | Alternative Learning System (ALS) for the Marginalized, Excluded and Vulnerable Sectors (MEVs) Out-of-School Children and Youth (OSCY) refers to 7 to 14 years old and not enrolled in any formal or vocational school and 15-24 years old and not enrolled in any formal or vocational school, not formally employed, and not a tertiary level graduate. The Philippines ranks high as one of the countries with a sizable number of OSCY. In a co-publication of the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) released in 2014, the Philippines ranked the highest in number in 2012 among 8 ASEAN countries. Even higher than that of Indonesia with a population double than the Philippines. The Out-of-School phenomenon reflects the over-all socio-economic situation of the country including poverty, regional inequalities, rapid population growth rate, sluggish economic growth and low absorption of the labor force. According to the National Youth Commission (NYC). | 2018 |
| A CRPD-Compliant Inclusive Education | E-Net Philippines | Policy Brief | Disability prevalence is increasing globally, especially in low income countries. In 2017, there is an estimated 7.5 billion people with disabilities or 1 in every 7 people. According to the World Report on Disability, 1 in 10 persons with disabilities are children (0-14 years) and 80% are living in developing countries. Among marginalized groups, children with disabilities remain the most excluded and discriminated. They are less likely to attend school, access medical services, or have their voices heard in society. Their disabilities also place them at a higher risk of physical abuse, and often exclude them from receiving proper nutrition or humanitarian assistance in emergencies. Girls with disabilities face a double disadvantage because they are also constrained by traditional gender roles and cultural barriers. | 2018 |
| Risk Reduction and Resiliency in Education | E-Net Philippines | Policy Brief | Restoring Access and Ensuring Quality, Inclusive, Equitable and Safe Learning Environment for Disaster-Prone Schools in the Visayas The Philippines is among the world’s most disaster-prone country because of its location along the path of typhoons and monsoons and being in the Pacific Ring of Fire. It was fourth in the world among countries hit by the highest number of disasters over the past 20 years, according to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction. In the country, the Visayas, especially areas in Eastern Visayas are the areas highly at risk to the occurrence of tropical depressions, tropical storms, typhoons and super typhoons according to the Center for Environmental Geomatics’ Mapping Philippine Vulnerability to Environmental Disasters. | 2018 |
| The Magna Carta for Public School Teachers Status of Implementation After 50 Years | E-Net Philippines | Policy Brief | If there is one education law in the country the provisions of which were written by its intended direct beneficiaries themselves, it is RA 4670 or the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers. Then Senator Jovito Salonga proudly admitted having the singular honor of giving it a name, coordinated the entire technical work in his office and stood as its principal sponsor and champion at the Senate. Both Houses of Congress passed it into law on May 19, 1966. Then President Ferdinand Marcos signed the newly enacted law on June 18, 1966 | 2018 |
| Ensuring Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education for Muslim Learners | E-Net Philippines | Policy Brief | Ensuring Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education for Muslim Learners Policy and Reform Recommendations for Madrasah Education Mindanao island is endowed with vast natural resources with an estimated half of the country’s mineral wealth. Ironically, poverty incidence in Mindanao is the highest among islands at 33.8% and eight of the top ten poorest provinces are in its regions. (Philippine Statistics Authority 2015 Report on Poverty Incidence, March 2016) Major contributing factors to the people’s impoverishment are 1) situations of conflict due to insurgency and cultural factors; 2) geographical disadvantages and socio-cultural isolation of highland and small island populations; and 3) limited opportunities for productive activities and limited access to social services due to prolonged government neglect. | 2018 |

| Advancing Indigenous Peoples Right to a Sustainable, Quality, and Culture-based Education | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | Amid all the well-intent policies, the government’s political will to ensure access to culture-based education for all indigenous peoples remains to be seen. Education policies and curricula are still rarely developed with IP participation or consent and as a result have mostly failed to provide quality education that is aligned with their rights as indigenous peoples: education that is well-resourced, culturally sensitive, aligned with their learning needs, languages, priorities and aspirations, and delivered through culturally appropriate teaching strategies, and in culturally appropriate settings. In commemoration of the National Indigenous Peoples Month this October, E-Net in partnership with ChildFund conducted a Webinar on Indigenous Peoples Education. It served as an opportunity to raise awareness and promote action for advancing Indigenous Peoples’ rights especially the right to education. | 2020 |

| FILIPINO TEACHERS’ PRESS CONFERENCE ON WORLD TEACHERS’ DAY | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | Even before the pandemic, teachers are working much more than what is in the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers law. And while this situation has already taken its toll on many in the teaching workforce, their condition is further degraded by the lack of support to protect and safeguard their economic well-being such as budgets to ensure that salaries and benefits mandated by law are provided them. Support will be needed much more in this pandemic time. On the occasion of the World Teachers’ Day, October 5, E-Net Philippines’ member teachers’ federations/unions/associations/groups will hold a Press Conference to air their concerns and demands as schools open amid the pandemic. Our outcry and call “Sobra sa (work)load, Kulang sa pang(data) load!”; “Reduce Teachers’ Workload, Safeguard Teacher’s Well-being!” is in line with teachers’ continuing campaign to improve teachers’ working and living conditions, protecting teachers’ rights and upholding their professional status and E-Net’s advocacy to achieve quality public education for all where teachers play a crucial role. | 2020 |

| New Normal, Academic Year, A “Try or Cry” to the Students. Assessing the Government’s Response on Bridging the Education Gap for the Better Normal | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | While continuous learning for students and job security for teaching and non-teaching staff is important, policy coherence is just as pressing and critical in being a key element in resolving this crisis. The government must ensure to convene all stakeholders to craft concrete, pro-people, and effective policies that will solve all existing and anticipated challenges. The stakeholders will dictate the readiness of our educational system through massive consultations, and ultimately, participative policy-making. | 2020 |
| Usapang Kababaihan, Kasarian, at Edukasyon | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | Empowering women and promoting gender equality is crucial to accelerating sustainable development. Ending all forms of gender discrimination is not only a basic human right, but it also has a multiplier effect across all other development areas. One of those crucial development areas is Education. In the Philippines, Gender issues remain a practice of ‘tokenism’ in schools and improvements still need to be done to ensure a safe and gender-fair learning environment. The issue of unsafe learning environment and not-so-motivating teaching approaches contribute to dropout cases in schools for all learners. There is increasing violence among girls because of early marriages and teen pregnancy. Bullying LGBT because of low level of gender sensitivity among teachers and pupils/students is also a contributing factor to prevailing violence. Come and join in this webinar on “Usapang Kababaihan, Kasarian, at Edukasyon”, to learn and unlearn various gender perspectives in coming up with gender-responsive and equity-based education engagements. | 2020 |
| Making Tertiary Education a Foundation in Building Better Normal | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | In the tertiary education amid COVID-19, provision of scholarship that covers free tution and other fees in state and local universities and colleges and state-run technical-vocational institutions thru UNIFAST (Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education) was suspended that affected the learning continuity of students especially those from impoverished families. | 2020 |

| Psycho-social Management of Stress, Anxieties and Depression among Learners, Teachers and Parents amid COVID Pandemic and Beyond | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | The TEACHERS Inc. in partnership with E-Net Philippines launched the Thursday Webinar Series. This is the second in the Thursday Webinar series that deals on “Psycho-social Management of Stress, Anxieties and Depression among Learners, Teachers and Parents amid COVID Pandemic and Beyond.” The COVID-19 pandemic has profound effects on the health and education of learners and teachers.

| SDGs and SDG4 –Towards a Better Normal | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | The world has been grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic and its devastating aftershocks. It has laid bare deep inequalities which are the result of the weaknesses of a global system that are addressed precisely in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development or the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In the 2030 Agenda, we have a holistic framework that brings the global economic, environmental, and development agenda together. Instead of sidelining the Goals, COVID-19 has made the SDGs even more relevant. The SDGs are not only useful for understanding COVID-19, they are also a valuable tool to guide the international and national recovery effort. The SDGs and particularly, SDG4 will be vital for a truly sustainable recovery, more inclusive economies, and stronger, more resilient societies. This Webinar provides us a venue to look afresh at the SDGs as a framework for recovery towards a “better normal” and the particular role of SDG4 as a foundation to build back better. | 2020 |
| Learning Modalities for a Better Normal | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | As a commitment in enhancing the educators’ and teachers’ capacity in ensuring the implementation of the Learning Continuity Plan at the ground level, TEACHERS INC and E-Net Philippines launched Thursday Webinar Series towards an improved quality of teaching and learning.

The topics and speakers were: – Blended Learning in a Better Normal – Ms. Divina Lamban – Google Classroom in a Virtual Class Setting – Engr. Jomer V. Catipon | 2020 |
| Ituloy ang Aral, Learn as One: Infodrive on learning continuity for learners in the last mile schools. | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the learning environment is drastically altered and learning as a whole has been disturbed and challenged. But learning has to continue and learners must adapt well in the so-called “new normal”. Learners in the last mile schools (LMS) have been especially challenged and disadvantaged even before and they are more so in the new learning setting that is being tested in response to the spread of coronavirus. It requires social distancing and the use of blended online-offline mode of learning delivery, which pose problems on the availability and access to needed equipment and services, and consequently affecting the quality of education. The condition of LMS learners is aggravated as they are deprived of opportunities to study and are likely to sacrifice their education because of poverty. The Philippines’ Open Government Partnership (OGP) commitment on education for the LMS provides a platform for the Department of Education (DepEd) and partner civil society organizations (CSOs) to specifically address this concern. While the committed cooperation was originally crafted to provide inputs, such as classrooms, ICT and electricity, it could be redirected to respond to the need for learning continuity amidst the pandemic. The DepEd and the CSOs, within and outside the OGP platform, cannot turn a blind eye on the urgent needs of the LMS learners. All available information and assistance should be afforded them to enable them to catch up and not be left behind. After all, education is not a privilege, but a human and constitutional right of all citizens, which is not diminished even in the time of pandemic. | 2020 |
| Continuity of Education and Lifelong Learning in the New Normal | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | Aside from its devastating impact on the economy and people’s livelihoods, the rapid spread of COVID-19 has brought enormous consequences on education too. Schools in basic education were forced to close in early March just before the 4th grading exam periods. Major universities in the NCR suspended and later on ended classes within 3 weeks of the end of the 2 nd semester or moving towards midterm for those which opened in June-July. To limit the disruption of education, schools and higher education institutions (HEIs) adopted ‘home-schooling situations’ and some, a shift to online learning. But while online learning seems to be convenient at a time when face-to-face interaction is highly discouraged, even DepEd Sec. Leonor Briones expressed concern that “this will only be effective when feasible” citing lack of infrastructure and internet access in many areas. This situation gives us a glimpse of how continuity of education and learning will be more challenging for learners, teachers and schools when schools start to open again. While education agencies and schools have plans for emergency management for natural disasters, COVID19 impact may well be one of the longest sustained disruptions the education sector will face. Taking into consideration the existing education gaps especially in terms of access, equity and resources, we may have arrived at this point unprepared. Without a vaccine still, risk of a resurgence of the disease will continue. Despite this, learning cannot stop. Containment and other mitigation measures like “social distancing” will still be in place in schools, in workplaces, in communities. This will be the “new normal”. The education system will have to be prepared and ready (though in a short period) to plan, adapt and flexibly adjust plans to keep education running in this “new normal” situation. Innovations will be much needed while ensuring that these new shifts and approaches will not widen existing equity gaps. |

| Youth-Led Action Research on The Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Marginalised Youth | E-Net Philippines | Report | The nationwide lockdowns and the resultant closure of educational institutions and markets have reportedly led to a rise in several shadow pandemics: of digital divides and school dropouts, of unemployment and food insecurity, of domestic violence and child marriages, of fake news and social stigma, and of physical disorders and mental illnesses. Thus, among the most vulnerable, but also further excluded from the mainstream discourse and phases of planning during the pandemic, have been the vulnerable youth, whose everyday lives and future aspirations have taken a serious hit in the ‘new normal’. They continue to face significant disruptions and changes on multiple fronts, at home, their community and the economy. Yet, as this pandemic continues to exacerbate, several youth have also been at the forefront amongst those mobilizing to shape creative forms of resistance, solidarity, and claim-making, particularly for social protection and relief assistance. | 2021 |

| NEWSLETTER: Education Out Loud Asia-Pacific Regional Management Unit | E-Net Philippines | Newsletter | E-Net is featured on the First Edition of the Newsletter from the Education Out Loud Asia-Pacific Regional Management Unit Education Out Loud (EOL) is Global Partnership for Education’s fund for advocacy and social accountability, that supports civil society to be active and influential in shaping education policy to better meet the needs of communities, especially of vulnerable and marginalized populations. E-Net highlighted the issue of access to quality equitable education is more challenging now and even after the lockdown because of the “new normal” lifestyle. How could marginalized learners adapt into this high technology learning? How would they practice handwashing if there’s water shortage in schools and houses? How would the practice of social distancing be observed when a class is composed of 60 students due to inadequate classrooms? Would these learning modes lessen or increase their workload of teachers? E-Net is pushing for a responsive national and local education and health system, appropriate financing for disasters of this type and magnitude, comprehensive school safety and safe learning community. | 2020 |

| ALS for Lifelong Learning | E-Net Philippines | Policy Brief | Alternative Learning System (ALS) for the Marginalized, Excluded and Vulnerable Sectors (MEVs) Out-of-School Children and Youth (OSCY) refers to 7 to 14 years old and not enrolled in any formal or vocational school and 15-24 years old and not enrolled in any formal or vocational school, not formally employed, and not a tertiary level graduate. The Philippines ranks high as one of the countries with a sizable number of OSCY. In a co-publication of the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) released in 2014, the Philippines ranked the highest in number in 2012 among 8 ASEAN countries. Even higher than that of Indonesia with a population double than the Philippines. The Out-of-School phenomenon reflects the over-all socio-economic situation of the country including poverty, regional inequalities, rapid population growth rate, sluggish economic growth and low absorption of the labor force. According to the National Youth Commission (NYC). | 2018 |
| A CRPD-Compliant Inclusive Education | E-Net Philippines | Policy Brief | Disability prevalence is increasing globally, especially in low income countries. In 2017, there is an estimated 7.5 billion people with disabilities or 1 in every 7 people. According to the World Report on Disability, 1 in 10 persons with disabilities are children (0-14 years) and 80% are living in developing countries. Among marginalized groups, children with disabilities remain the most excluded and discriminated. They are less likely to attend school, access medical services, or have their voices heard in society. Their disabilities also place them at a higher risk of physical abuse, and often exclude them from receiving proper nutrition or humanitarian assistance in emergencies. Girls with disabilities face a double disadvantage because they are also constrained by traditional gender roles and cultural barriers. | 2018 |
| Risk Reduction and Resiliency in Education | E-Net Philippines | Policy Brief | Restoring Access and Ensuring Quality, Inclusive, Equitable and Safe Learning Environment for Disaster-Prone Schools in the Visayas The Philippines is among the world’s most disaster-prone country because of its location along the path of typhoons and monsoons and being in the Pacific Ring of Fire. It was fourth in the world among countries hit by the highest number of disasters over the past 20 years, according to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction. In the country, the Visayas, especially areas in Eastern Visayas are the areas highly at risk to the occurrence of tropical depressions, tropical storms, typhoons and super typhoons according to the Center for Environmental Geomatics’ Mapping Philippine Vulnerability to Environmental Disasters. | 2018 |

Then Senator Jovito Salonga proudly admitted having the singular honor of giving it a name, coordinated the entire technical work in his office and stood as its principal sponsor and champion at the Senate. Both Houses of Congress passed it into law on May 19, 1966. Then President Ferdinand Marcos signed the newly enacted law on June 18, 1966 | 2018 |
| Ensuring Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education for Muslim Learners | E-Net Philippines | Policy Brief | Ensuring Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education for Muslim Learners Policy and Reform Recommendations for Madrasah Education Mindanao island is endowed with vast natural resources with an estimated half of the country’s mineral wealth. Ironically, poverty incidence in Mindanao is the highest among islands at 33.8% and eight of the top ten poorest provinces are in its regions. (Philippine Statistics Authority 2015 Report on Poverty Incidence, March 2016) Major contributing factors to the people’s impoverishment are 1) situations of conflict due to insurgency and cultural factors; 2) geographical disadvantages and socio-cultural isolation of highland and small island populations; and 3) limited opportunities for productive activities and limited access to social services due to prolonged government neglect. | 2018 |

| Advancing Indigenous Peoples Right to a Sustainable, Quality, and Culture-based Education | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | Amid all the well-intent policies, the government’s political will to ensure access to culture-based education for all indigenous peoples remains to be seen. Education policies and curricula are still rarely developed with IP participation or consent and as a result have mostly failed to provide quality education that is aligned with their rights as indigenous peoples: education that is well-resourced, culturally sensitive, aligned with their learning needs, languages, priorities and aspirations, and delivered through culturally appropriate teaching strategies, and in culturally appropriate settings. In commemoration of the National Indigenous Peoples Month this October, E-Net in partnership with ChildFund conducted a Webinar on Indigenous Peoples Education. It served as an opportunity to raise awareness and promote action for advancing Indigenous Peoples’ rights especially the right to education. | 2020 |

| FILIPINO TEACHERS’ PRESS CONFERENCE ON WORLD TEACHERS’ DAY | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | Even before the pandemic, teachers are working much more than what is in the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers law. And while this situation has already taken its toll on many in the teaching workforce, their condition is further degraded by the lack of support to protect and safeguard their economic well-being such as budgets to ensure that salaries and benefits mandated by law are provided them. Support will be needed much more in this pandemic time. On the occasion of the World Teachers’ Day, October 5, E-Net Philippines’ member teachers’ federations/unions/associations/groups will hold a Press Conference to air their concerns and demands as schools open amid the pandemic. Our outcry and call “Sobra sa (work)load, Kulang sa pang(data) load!”; “Reduce Teachers’ Workload, Safeguard Teacher’s Well-being!” is in line with teachers’ continuing campaign to improve teachers’ working and living conditions, protecting teachers’ rights and upholding their professional status and E-Net’s advocacy to achieve quality public education for all where teachers play a crucial role. | 2020 |

| New Normal, Academic Year, A “Try or Cry” to the Students. Assessing the Government’s Response on Bridging the Education Gap for the Better Normal | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | While continuous learning for students and job security for teaching and non-teaching staff is important, policy coherence is just as pressing and critical in being a key element in resolving this crisis. The government must ensure to convene all stakeholders to craft concrete, pro-people, and effective policies that will solve all existing and anticipated challenges. The stakeholders will dictate the readiness of our educational system through massive consultations, and ultimately, participative policy-making. | 2020 |
| Usapang Kababaihan, Kasarian, at Edukasyon | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | Empowering women and promoting gender equality is crucial to accelerating sustainable development. Ending all forms of gender discrimination is not only a basic human right, but it also has a multiplier effect across all other development areas. One of those crucial development areas is Education. In the Philippines, Gender issues remain a practice of ‘tokenism’ in schools and improvements still need to be done to ensure a safe and gender-fair learning environment. The issue of unsafe learning environment and not-so-motivating teaching approaches contribute to dropout cases in schools for all learners. There is increasing violence among girls because of early marriages and teen pregnancy. Bullying LGBT because of low level of gender sensitivity among teachers and pupils/students is also a contributing factor to prevailing violence. Come and join in this webinar on “Usapang Kababaihan, Kasarian, at Edukasyon”, to learn and unlearn various gender perspectives in coming up with gender-responsive and equity-based education engagements. | 2020 |
| Making Tertiary Education a Foundation in Building Better Normal | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | In the tertiary education amid COVID-19, provision of scholarship that covers free tution and other fees in state and local universities and colleges and state-run technical-vocational institutions thru UNIFAST (Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education) was suspended that affected the learning continuity of students especially those from impoverished families. | 2020 |

| Psycho-social Management of Stress, Anxieties and Depression among Learners, Teachers and Parents amid COVID Pandemic and Beyond | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | The TEACHERS Inc. in partnership with E-Net Philippines launched the Thursday Webinar Series. This is the second in the Thursday Webinar series that deals on “Psycho-social Management of Stress, Anxieties and Depression among Learners, Teachers and Parents amid COVID Pandemic and Beyond.” The COVID-19 pandemic has profound effects on the health and education of learners and teachers.

| SDGs and SDG4 –Towards a Better Normal | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | The world has been grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic and its devastating aftershocks. It has laid bare deep inequalities which are the result of the weaknesses of a global system that are addressed precisely in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development or the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In the 2030 Agenda, we have a holistic framework that brings the global economic, environmental, and development agenda together. Instead of sidelining the Goals, COVID-19 has made the SDGs even more relevant. The SDGs are not only useful for understanding COVID-19, they are also a valuable tool to guide the international and national recovery effort. The SDGs and particularly, SDG4 will be vital for a truly sustainable recovery, more inclusive economies, and stronger, more resilient societies. This Webinar provides us a venue to look afresh at the SDGs as a framework for recovery towards a “better normal” and the particular role of SDG4 as a foundation to build back better. | 2020 |
| Learning Modalities for a Better Normal | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | As a commitment in enhancing the educators’ and teachers’ capacity in ensuring the implementation of the Learning Continuity Plan at the ground level, TEACHERS INC and E-Net Philippines launched Thursday Webinar Series towards an improved quality of teaching and learning.

The topics and speakers were: – Blended Learning in a Better Normal – Ms. Divina Lamban – Google Classroom in a Virtual Class Setting – Engr. Jomer V. Catipon | 2020 |
| Ituloy ang Aral, Learn as One: Infodrive on learning continuity for learners in the last mile schools. | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the learning environment is drastically altered and learning as a whole has been disturbed and challenged. But learning has to continue and learners must adapt well in the so-called “new normal”. Learners in the last mile schools (LMS) have been especially challenged and disadvantaged even before and they are more so in the new learning setting that is being tested in response to the spread of coronavirus. It requires social distancing and the use of blended online-offline mode of learning delivery, which pose problems on the availability and access to needed equipment and services, and consequently affecting the quality of education. The condition of LMS learners is aggravated as they are deprived of opportunities to study and are likely to sacrifice their education because of poverty. The Philippines’ Open Government Partnership (OGP) commitment on education for the LMS provides a platform for the Department of Education (DepEd) and partner civil society organizations (CSOs) to specifically address this concern. While the committed cooperation was originally crafted to provide inputs, such as classrooms, ICT and electricity, it could be redirected to respond to the need for learning continuity amidst the pandemic. The DepEd and the CSOs, within and outside the OGP platform, cannot turn a blind eye on the urgent needs of the LMS learners. All available information and assistance should be afforded them to enable them to catch up and not be left behind. After all, education is not a privilege, but a human and constitutional right of all citizens, which is not diminished even in the time of pandemic. | 2020 |
| Continuity of Education and Lifelong Learning in the New Normal | E-Net Philippines | Webinar | Aside from its devastating impact on the economy and people’s livelihoods, the rapid spread of COVID-19 has brought enormous consequences on education too. Schools in basic education were forced to close in early March just before the 4th grading exam periods. Major universities in the NCR suspended and later on ended classes within 3 weeks of the end of the 2 nd semester or moving towards midterm for those which opened in June-July. To limit the disruption of education, schools and higher education institutions (HEIs) adopted ‘home-schooling situations’ and some, a shift to online learning. But while online learning seems to be convenient at a time when face-to-face interaction is highly discouraged, even DepEd Sec. Leonor Briones expressed concern that “this will only be effective when feasible” citing lack of infrastructure and internet access in many areas. This situation gives us a glimpse of how continuity of education and learning will be more challenging for learners, teachers and schools when schools start to open again. While education agencies and schools have plans for emergency management for natural disasters, COVID19 impact may well be one of the longest sustained disruptions the education sector will face. Taking into consideration the existing education gaps especially in terms of access, equity and resources, we may have arrived at this point unprepared. Without a vaccine still, risk of a resurgence of the disease will continue. Despite this, learning cannot stop. Containment and other mitigation measures like “social distancing” will still be in place in schools, in workplaces, in communities. This will be the “new normal”. The education system will have to be prepared and ready (though in a short period) to plan, adapt and flexibly adjust plans to keep education running in this “new normal” situation. Innovations will be much needed while ensuring that these new shifts and approaches will not widen existing equity gaps. |
