“Between now and October 5, it is crucial that preparations continue to fine-tune all aspects of the Basic-Education-Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP),” he added. DepEd should work on the completion of its self-learning modules, improving radio and television-based education programs, and other alternative learning modalities, according to Gatchalian. “The extra days have given [to] DepEd should enable them to prepare more sustainably given the critical situation we are all in,” he added. For his part, Senator Christopher “Bong” Go said DepEd would now have enough time to ensure that the needs of the students, teachers, learning institutions and education authorities are met with the shift to distance learning. We commend her for considering the welfare of our students and teachers in arriving at the decision,” the lawmaker said.
