[THREAD] On October 5, public schools will reopen in the middle of a still untamed coronavirus outbreak in the country that has so far claimed over 5,600 lives and left 4.6 million Filipinos jobless.
Due to the persistent coronavirus pandemic, the Department of Education would be implementing a distance learning approach when classes start on October 5.

As technology and internet connectivity remain a problem for most students, DepEd will be providing printed module materials for them.

How does DepEd& #39;s modular learning work? https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/things-to-know-deped-modular-learning">https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak...
In May, DepEd said parents don’t need to buy gadgets for their children because schools will be providing printed module materials for them.

Weeks before school opening, Secretary Briones is now saying that modular learning is expensive. https://www.rappler.com/nation/briones-modular-learning-expensive-effect-environment">https://www.rappler.com/nation/br...
But the problem is DepEd has no budget allocated for learning support aides.

They said that if schools want to hire LSAs, they could use their funds for Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses and their Special Education Fund instead. https://www.rappler.com/nation/deped-no-budget-hire-aides-distance-learning">https://www.rappler.com/nation/de...
Experts have repeatedly warned that the public must remain cautious & continue observing minimum health standards such as practicing social distancing, wearing of face masks, and staying at home if possible, despite relaxation of quarantine measures. https://www.rappler.com/nation/deped-ncr-proposal-students-school-visit-interaction">https://www.rappler.com/nation/de...
No country in the world was prepared for the pandemic. But education – a constitutional right of every Filipino – should be made accessible to all under any circumstance. Can the Duterte gov& #39;t pull off a school opening with no student being left behind? https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/explainers/school-opening-philippines-issues-need-solution-before-october-5-2020">https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak...
