Education in the time of COVID-19 Pandemic

Antonia J. Canlas

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic has wreaked havoc across the globe. In the field of education, this emergency has resulted in the widespread suspension of face-to-face operations at educational institutions in over 190 countries to limit the virus's spread and minimize its effects. Many of the measures taken by our country in response to the crisis in education are the suspension of face-to-face classes at all levels, resulting in three main areas of action: the deployment of distance learning modalities through a variety of formats and platforms (with or without the use of technology); the support and mobilization of education personnel and communities; and concern for the health and overall well-being of students. Physical courses were banned across the country during the COVID-19 epidemic, and other forms of learning modalities were introduced. During these critical times, education can still serve the learners and individuals, but it is in the cost of building our overall development or breaking every aspect of our lives that would make us grow. During, the COVID 19 epidemic, education has had the most significant impact because it shows the actual essence of education. Every student has their unique set of abilities, and one of the most important aspects of education in this time of epidemic is to keep those abilities sharp. As a teacher, I can assert that informal education has surpassed formal education because of spontaneous lived situations in which I may creatively gain new skills and insights from my colleagues and mentors, with whom I spend most of my time especially in school. In times like COVID-19 epidemic, education takes a lot more work than it does in a conventional face-to-face environment. You won't be able to survive on resilience alone; you'll need discipline to handle all your goals. As a teacher, I can't always consider myself to be fine, especially when it comes to my mental health, but one thing I've learned is that I can be disciplined enough to withstand all my adversities.
