The Leisure of Science and Technology

Ma. Zhaira Grace G. Castro

The present pandemic has had a profound effect on billions of people worldwide. Millions have been lost in the fight against the Covid-19. The health sector has been stricken by severe shortages of hospital beds, oxygen supply, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and other medical supplies necessary to reduce the pandemic's effect and preserve lives. The economies of the various countries have also suffered due to movement limitations. The supply and demand chains have been harmed due to a succession of lockdowns, isolations, and other quarantine procedures implemented to contain the virus. All these factors have had an enormous impact on everyone's life.

In education, the pandemic's influence has altered how educators give educational services. Education in this pandemic era has already seen major changes, from traditional face-to-face schooling to distance education. The contact between teachers and students during the learning process has already transitioned to partnerships between parents and children in discovering knowledge. Though teachers desired to be present for their students' search for knowledge, circumstances prevented them from doing so for fear of transmitting the virus to the children or vice versa.

Indeed, seeking an education amid today's pandemic implies difficulties and sacrifices. Transitioning from traditional learning delivery to distance learning has never been easy.

Teachers have been having difficulty revising and adapting their curricula to meet the present needs of learners grounded in the new normal education. On the other hand, parents and children face the same dilemma because distance or home-based education is quite difficult to maintain and manage due to a variety of factors such as geographical location where online education is not possible, lack of educational gadgets, time constraints on the part of parents who must still earn a living, children's level of understanding, their interests, and the capacity of parents and other family members to guide the learners at home.

Almost all of us have traveled this path due to the virus.

Teachers, parents, and students have all played a critical role in their fight against the pandemic.

Each of us has a unique narrative to tell about this occurrence. However, if we continue to be hopeful, prayerful, and cooperative with the government, and if we do what God and the law of the land need of us, everything will fall into place. *****
