Keep Learning

Eugene D. Consumo

Learning never stops! This is our battle cry.

We are still on current situation of quarantine. This pandemic has brought into harsh stress due to uncertainty in economic and anxiety for our safety. COVID-19 outbreak has brought life to a stoppage all around the world, with many countries reported school closures. Education in schools has faced beyond compare challenges. We, teachers are saddened to see our students stay out of school. Thus, we are working tirelessly so students can learn. Teachers’ involvement is essential to ensure social inequalities are reduced. We made certain that every student has access to sufficient resources to continue learning. Yes, digital resources can be an aid to learning, but also a barrier because not all families automatically have access to the same technological tools like internet, computer, TV and smartphone. This can lead to further inequalities among students. That’s why Self-Learning Modules are of immense help to students. Consequently, we are grateful to supportive parents, who are diligently assisting their children in learning at home. For the moment, learn at home and return to school after COVID-19. It may be difficult for many, but this virus cannot and will not hinder our thirst for knowledge. We should never stop learning. We need to overcome this tough time with a positive attitude. We need to be resilient, self-disciplined, responsible, and compassionate. As UNESCO’s initiative “Combat Covid-19: Keep Learning. Together We Are On the Move”. In the end, with God’s grace, we will all be victorious!
