MANILA - As over 22 million public school students begin to venture into distance learning, some were not able to join their virtual classes due to unreliable internet connectivity.
Out of 39 students who should have participated in her online class Monday morning, 4 were unable to attend, said Annalyn Rentoy, a teacher at Pasig Elementary School.
Education Secretary Leonor Briones said the department will continue to monitor the situation in schools under the "new normal" and respond to the challenges that would arise. Aside from internet connectivity, some modules have yet to be claimed by parents, said DepEd Chief of Staff Nepomuceno Malaluan, who was in Batangas to monitor the school opening.Briones also said some students who have yet to receive their modules are late enrollees.
Teachers have been rushing to print unprovided parts of or entire modules, struggling to hold online classes using faculty laptops and personal internet connection, and reporting in schools without sufficient protection against COVID-19, the group said.
