How does Education change during the Pandemic?

When we look back to where the pandemic started, it leaves us worried and anxious about the future. The global challenges didn’t come to notify us, making us unprepared for what will happen. Nobody knows about what the unprecedented time holds, and none of us are expecting this to happen. Surely, we’ve asked ourselves how could we ever survive the crisis we’re facing nowadays, especially the education we once used to experience before the new normal. Education has rapidly changed throughout the pandemic and left us weary because of its factor about what may happen ahead.

How would the school cope amid the pandemic, and how would the students adapt to the changes the school facing nowadays? As we embrace the new normal, the school has undergone extensive processes on ways to continue education and strategies to develop a system that gives students the ease to study. Modular and online learning were established throughout the pandemic, and until recently, the school still implements these two modes of learning to help students catch up to their lessons. As these two modes of learning are different from the one we used to perform, the quality of education has also changed. While students are learning to adapt to the new normal we’re experiencing, the school has also gradually changed from modular or online learning to limited face-to-face.

The limited face-to-face learning has brought students and even parents excitement, but at the same time adjusting to socializing and interacting with people, and preparing for the new normal face-to-face. The school currently focuses on full face-to-face learning. The Department of Education announced that private schools have the discretion to shift from limited face-to-face to full face-to-face. Evangelical Achievers’ Academy started implementing the full face-to-face last November 2022 and is currently observing the safety measures to prevent the surge of COVID-19.
