Today we are left with no choice but to embrace the new normal in our educational system. Evidently, it puts the greatest challenge among all school heads and teachers. This present dilemma encourages each one of us to establish principles for us to grow professionally amidst all these abrupt changes in education.

This “New Normal” education urges us to put all efforts together so that our main goal of providing quality education to our learners will continue despite our situation. As a school head, I have been very optimistic on dealing with all the uncertainties that we encounter this school year. This is really the most challenging year for me as a school head. With all the abrupt changes that we needed to employ in the teaching and learning process, we must equip ourselves with all the skills so we could adapt from these changes. Our school is one of the remotest schools in the country, hence we encounter a lot or problems especially that technology is the most important medium to be used during this time of pandemic. Many of our pupils are indigent so they cannot fully embrace the “new normal” education system. Though we are using the modular mode of instruction, there are many activities found in our modules that requires the aid of technology which the pupils cannot do because they do not have gadgets to use. The teachers are also in trouble printing the modules because the printers and their personal laptops which they are using are already malfunctioning. The Department of Education never fails to extend assistance to the school but with all the unexpected needs we need to have it really cannot suffice them. But as 21^st century mentors, we need to do all ways and means to solve these problems. We need to keep going whatever it takes for as long as we can serve and provide our learners the best quality of education.

With all the support of the teachers, parents and all other stakeholders, I believe we can make all things possible. All I am asking is our heart to keep our patient and dedication to serve our children, our open-mind to understand the shortcomings of one another and our helping hands to extend assistance for the future of our learners. Thank you and may God bless us all. We can heal as one!
