Impact of education on health

Sherry Ann Abugao-Rivera

It’s been more than a year since the pandemic twisted everything in life. People are anxious on what will happen in the future. Facemask and face shield became part of the daily lives of all. The ability of the person to adapt to the new normal may not be an easy task to do.

Teaching people to follow and adhere to the new norm is a big challenge. The impact of educating the people on how to survive in this pandemic must be at the apex. Schools must lead the way in the information dissemination on how to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

The education sector with the help of local government units (LGUs) may join force in spreading wide information campaign to lessen the covid-19 cases in their respective areas. The ability to extend a helping hand in this time of crisis is the right thing to do. May it be big or small it will lead to a great impact in saving lives.

As the economy slowly opens, people must not relax themselves. It takes a lot to recover. Strict health protocols must always be observed. As students above 15 years old and above now comes to school to talk to teachers and get their modules, it is an advantage to let them know the advantage of direct teaching about covid-19.

One thing is for sure with the resilience of Filipinos whatever we experienced will be charged as lessons in life. Slowly with the help of the Almighty above, we will recover and we will survive.
