Members of the Makabayan bloc have jointly filed a resolution urging the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to implement academic ease and ‘no fail’ policy amid the distance learning woes.
“Whereas, a year has passed in this remote learning set-up, yet the same woes continue to beset the education sector, such as poor internet connection and lack of gadgets, leaning materials and other resources,” House Resolution 1721 read.
This situation is aggravated by heavy and unreasonable academic study loan and workload imposed upon students and teachers, the lawmakers said in the resolution.
“…Students are expected to fulfill numerous ac academic requirements to demonstrate mastery of learning competencies to the point that several universities, colleges and schools hold classes or demand the submission of class requirements even during holidays or declared breaks.”
The resolution further said that “overworked teachers have borne the burden of filling in the gaps in the defective implementation of distance learning in the country while carrying more teaching units, teachers print weekly modules and activity sheets, look for donors of gadgets and printing materials, and cater to students who are left behind.”
The lawmakers said that DepEd and CHED should implement measures that provide leniency and remove unreasonable burden from students and teachers in the distance learning set-up such as relaxing of academic requirements, extension of deadlines for the submission of requirements, and suspension of retention requirements.
The resolution was filed by Kabataan Rep. Sarah Jane Elago, ACT Teachers Rep. France Castro, Bayan Muna Representatives Carlos Isagani Zarate, Ferdinand Gaite and Eufemia Cullamat and Gabriela Rep. Arlene Brosas.
