There should be a concrete plan, programs, and policies that will give the students and teacher, as well as the parents the stability and certainty they have been craving for for two years since the pandemic hit the country. Through having a stable community in school, with a cohesive plan and decisiveness of the education leaders, they could ease the burden of the teachers and students who are struggling due to COVID-19 pandemic.
