The recent Holidays has emphasized the spirit of giving, peace, goodwill, and hope amid the COVID-19 pandemic and other calamities – and the agency will continue this message of hope; that life is more than what everyone is facing right now.

According to the DepEd, life is more than COVID-19, life is more than all the threats that we are facing at present.

With the drastic changes in education brought by the pandemic, the DepEd remains hopeful to further transform Philippine education in response to the changing world.

Education is now going in a different direction, with changes already starting, particularly with the increased role of technology and science.

There is a need to encourage not only teachers but learners to not only specialize and memorize; but to know many things, to know how to analyze, to know how to be objective, to know how to come to break a problem apart and come up with a solution.

Despite 2020 being a very difficult, trying, and even challenging year, the agency still grew and developed better as an organization.
