With the changes happening in the country’s education system brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Education (DepEd) underscored the need to help and assist parents in understanding various learning modalities.
“The role of our parents is something we really can’t just ignore because we only implement distance learning,” said Undersecretary for Legislative Affairs, External Partnerships, and Project Management Service Tonisito Umali in Filipino.
Umali noted that children who currently home study using various learning modalities need help especially from their parents since the teachers cannot help them physically.
To help parents adjust to the new normal in education, DepEd tapped the International Care Ministries (ICM) to assist parents of learners especially in Kindergarten on better understanding the modules provided by the schools.
