The Department of Education (DepEd) has assured that they are formulating a “learning recovery plan” that will serve as a guide for schools to resolve the “learning gaps” caused by the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) pandemic.
According to DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones, they are doing this now that more schools are also opening their doors for physical learning.
He said they want to make sure that their interventions will be effective to catch up with everyone and also speed up their learning.
Proposed strategies include extending the school calendar, expanding students ’learning time, establishing learning support centers in schools and community-based learning spaces, having summer remediation and intervention programs, and hiring additional learning support aides.
DepEd also intends to strengthen reading interventions, conduct regular home visits to students, implement groups or buddy systems, and develop appropriate assessment tasks and resources.
This recovery plan also includes addressing the “socio-emotional and behavioral recovery of students.”
